Church camping: A group from the church will be camping at Sanborn County Park, from Friday June 9th to Saturday June 10th. You are welcome to come! Please speak to Scott Porter if you would like to join, or if you have any questions.

For those who want to camp, we have reserved the Group Campsite that can host 35 campers. 

  • It is important to note that it is a 0.4mi walk-in to the site so bringing a wagon or cart is recommended

  • Bikes are not allowed in the campground

  • Gates are closed at sunset and there is no re-entry after gates close

  • For the campsite check-in is at 3pm on 6/9 and checkout is 1pm on 6/10

  • The campsite has one large grill, a food box, three picnic tables, a few fire rings, and a couple benches

Campers will probably go on a short hike Saturday morning.

After camping, we are planning to transition to the Ohlone Group Area for a picnic starting around 11am. Everyone from the church is invited to attend whether you were part of the camping or not.

  • There is a $6 entrance fee to the park

To RSVP for the camping and/or picnic, please send an email to Scott Porter (s.p.porter@icloud.com). You can also send any questions by email.
