Description
Get your class or group together and bid on this rare opportunity to enjoy a family camping experience like no other! Fifteen lucky families will spend two nature-filled days and nights at a private 70-acre camp perfectly situated on the stunning American River. You will be away from it all in an endless kids' and parents' paradise--unplugged and uncommercial, just real, true nature with all your favorite friends. This beautiful camp features a private river-rock beach with a sandy spot for sand play, and plenty of small rapids for tubing, rocks for jumping, and calm pools for swimming. You will love sitting in your camp chair with your feet in the water, sipping a margarita and wondering why you didn't go camping years ago. Your hosts (the Donatos, Bazukis, and Thompsons) will host the ultimate kid-friendly and adult-friendly riverside happy hour on Saturday night, then lead the fun with songs (Doug Thompson) and stories (Kristin Donato) around the campfire. Other activities include guided hikes, zip-line adventures, archery, fishing, snorkeling, and target shooting (optional), plus treehouse and rope-bridge exploration. Location is approximately three hours from the Bay Area. Fully catered gourmet breakfasts and dinners are provided. Suitable for 15 adventure-loving families; BYOT (bring your own tent). Kids must be swimmers. Six years and up please. Get your group together! (This is a single-bidder item.)
