OFC Family BBQ & Campout
Description
Our annual East Bay BBQ and Campout is back! Now with additional Friday night camping option!
What: We're offering three ways for your family to enjoy the great outdoors in your backyard:
- Camping Lite: Saturday BBQ, activities, and campfire only. Come for Saturday afternoon campground fun from 12 noon on; enjoy a BBQ lunch, spend some quality time with your family and other LGBTQ families, hang around the campfire, and leave for your own dinner and cozy beds whenever you like!
- Saturday Night Fever: Saturday campground fun + BBQ + snacks + dinner + evening campfire w/ s'mores + Saturday overnight stay + Sunday breakfast!
- Double Header: Friday + Saturday overnights! Arrive anytime from 5pm Friday on for DIY fun (you bring your own Friday dinner and Saturday breakfast eats), stay overnight and enjoy all the afternoon programming and OFC BBQ chow from noon Saturday on through the overnight.
Details: Some folks have asked to be able to camp out two nights in a row, so we're opening up the campsite as of Friday 5pm. This first night's food'll be on you, but we'll be there to keep you company. The afternoon BBQ begins Saturday, August 23 at 12pm. You can opt to come just for the Saturday afternoon and evening's activities, which include campground fun, sports, crafty projects, and nature walks. Eveningtime we'll build a campfire, make s'mores, and tell tall tales and sing songs. Folks can then skedaddle home for their cozy beds, or stay for the overnight campout.
Registrants will receive an email detailing what we'll provide, suggested gear to bring, and notes about parking at the trailhead and the transfer of gear the half-mile up to the campsite.
Where: Wildcat View Group Camp in Tilden Park, Berkeley, CA. Limited parking available at the gate at the end of Lone Oak Road; see area map here.
Cost: As always, we offer a sliding scale. No one turned away for lack of funds. Suggested fees help cover food and camping site rental costs. If you need any camping equipment (e.g. sleeping bags or tents), please call us at 415-981-1960 or e-mail kay@ourfamily.org.
