When & Where Is It?
  July 25-27th
Camp Nauvoo in Nauvoo, Illinois

(1095 South Warsaw Street Nauvoo). We have reserved a number of cabins, the lodge and the showerhouse for Sunday afternoon the 25th, until check-out time Wednesday morning, the 28th.

Please notify Bob if you need an RV space instead of a cabin. Tent spaces are available also, and are cheap, but I wouldn't recommend it, given unpredictable weather.

Browse the Camp Nauvoo website for detailed information about cabins, the showerhouse, all the amenities in the lodge, etc. Note that there are a washer and dryer in the showerhouse.
What Will it Cost?
  1. Lodging: The camp fee is $12.00 per night per person, except children age four and under are $4.

2. Group Meals:There will be 4 group meals, breakfast and dinner on Monday and Tuesday. The cost for all 4 meals is tentatively set for $8 for children 10 and under, $12 for everyone else.

3. Your other travel and food costs.
