Just about the only thing I enjoy more than spending time outdoors on our backpacking trips is sharing that time and those memorable experiences with my family. I’ve especially enjoyed camping with my now five-year-old son and seeing his excitement and enthusiasm as we share that special experience. It deepens our bond, and I hope it will be something he looks back upon with very fond memories.
With that in mind, I wanted to open that experience to share with other dads and sons. I know sometimes planning is the hardest part in our busy lives, especially if you don’t camp that open. So in partnership with my church, Centerpoint Fellowship – Pike Road, I’m organizing a father-son camp out at Fort Toulouse Park in Wetumpka, just 20 minutes or so from Montgomery. It’s open to all fathers and sons.
Our agenda will be simple: Have fun, enjoy exploring the outdoors and open spaces at Fort Toulouse and enjoy each other’s company. The site is very close to the bathhouse/restrooms. We will get started around 3 p.m. on Friday and end around noon on Saturday. Cost TBD but no more than $15 per family (pay when you arrive).
We will provide:
- Hot dogs and chips for dinner
- Hot chocolate and cookies for evening
- Bottled water
- Instant coffee
You will need to bring:
- Tent
- Sleeping bags and pillows
- Sleeping pads/air mattresses
- Chairs (There are some wood benches available around the firepit)
- Flashlights, headlamps and/or lanterns for night
- Bug spray/hygiene items
- Personal drinks and additional snacks if desired
- Jackets, hats and gloves for cold weather
- Something for breakfast on Saturday morning (We can provide hot water for instant oatmeal, grits, etc.)
