Directions and Packing List

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Tuesday, December 9, 2008.

Family Camp is a time for parents, kids and families to be together and to experience some of our unique activities and mentoring philosophies. In addition, we will provide teachings to better draw the stories out of your little ones. Our weekend retreat will again be at the magnificent Arroyo Hondo Preserve, known as the "jewel of the Gaviota Coast."

We begin Saturday at 12 noon and go through Sunday 3pm. Bring a story and/or song to the campfire or skill to share during the days.

Food: We will provide scrumptious meals for Saturday dinner and Sunday's breakfast (we'll provide food for omnivores, vegitarians and vegans). Please let us know if you have any dietary preferences on our application. You are responsible for your lunch on Saturday. NOTE: Please bring extra breakfast snacks for your little ones if they will be hungry before breakfast time (9 am) on Sunday morning.

What to Bring: There is a packing list along with other information at the top of this page. It can get chilly at night so make sure to bundle up and bring a couple extra blankets for sitting around the fire!

Carpooling: PLEASE PLEASE do your best to carpool. There is limited space for vehicles and the more folks we can get in the fewest amount of vehicles, the better.

Directions: (From Santa Barbara) Traveling northbound on the U.S. Highway 101, the Preserve is about a thirty minute drive from downtown and approximately four miles past Refugio State Beach. After the Refugio exit, pay attention to the blue CalTrans call boxes spaced one mile apart on the right hand side. The Arroyo Hondo entrance is located at call box 101-412. Make an immediate right hand turn into the driveway.

(From Buellton/Lompoc): Traveling southbound on the U.S. Highway 101, approximately 6 miles past Gaviota State Park and a mile after the Vista Point Rest Area, look for the blue CalTrans Call Box #101-403. Be in the left hand lane. Just after the Call Box, make a u-turn (turn lane provided) onto the northbound lanes of the U.S. Highway 101. In a mile, make a sharp right turn into the Preserve immediately after blue CalTrans Call Box #101-412.

(If you miss the U-turn, the next turnaround is at Refugio State Beach about four miles south.)
