- Pirate Camp: Okay so....we attempted this last year and reservations didn't work out, but GUESS WHAT?! It's gonna work out this year! This is - of course - optional. We'd love to take our bonding and experiences to a whole other level on an overnight camp trip. Loads of details will follow (including gear etc. and options for those of you that don't have any, cost info, food, etc.)! But for now...due to numbers, sites, and non-refundable sites etc., I do need a RSVP as soon as you're able. Please share if you're interested in (a) Fri and Sat nights, (b) just Sat night or (c) nothing at all. It's for August 17 weekend, it's near Dillon Beach on the coast, and it's staff only for this get together. I will be going for both nights. Boom!
