Great Outdoors will be holding its end of season all chapter camp out at nearby Lake Silverwood, located 11 miles east of the 15 Freeway in the Cajon Pass. This fun filled weekend will include hiking on part of the scenic Pacific Crest Trail, and biking around the lake. There is also a variety of water sports at the nearby marina such as swimming at the beach, fishing, and skidoo and boat rentals.
Our group site accommodates tents and RVs, and has picnic tables, BBQs, fire rings, flush toilets and showers. There is also a convenience store at the marina. The price is super low ($20 for members/$30 for non-members), so this is the perfect excuse to enjoy one last all-chapter GO weekend outing for 2008!
Campers can either enjoy a full day of activities on Saturday or sit in on a meeting of Great Outdoors officers and delegates while they hold their annual meeting to elect corporate officers and plan the all chapter master calendar for 2009. This is a great way to see your volunteer officers at work, and perhaps find out how you can also volunteer.
A potluck will be held on Saturday night so you can feature your favorite dish and enjoy great company. The LA Chapter will provide the tablecloths, decor (of course!), beverages, plates, and utensils. After that we’ll enjoy a campfire and a movie on a big screen under the stars. The LA Chapter will also host a traditional Great Outdoors “tea” on Saturday afternoon.
WHAT TO BRING: Each car must bring at least one bundle of firewood for the campfires. Bring your usual items: Potluck dish for Saturday night, plus the 10 essentials, warm clothing for cool evenings, swim wear, camping gear, food, hat, toiletries/towel, camp chair, bicycle, and of course - a good attitude!
LOCATION: Lake Silverwood is located via Hwy 138, 11 miles east of I-15 or 20 miles north of San Bernardino via Highways 18 and 138. We’ll be staying at the BARRANCA group campsite located on the road that goes WEST of the lake, about .75 mile on the left.
