The Wolf Den has a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave oven, pots, pans, toasters, kettles, dishes, and utensils for us to use. They also supply linens and towels. We maybe be sharing many of the facilities (kitchen, sauna, fireplace, etc.) with other guests at the lodge.

Please note that many of the rooms we have reserved are semi-private ie. you will be sharing with other TOC members. However, they do have some single rooms with double beds and it is an extra $5 per person per night ($10 for the 2 days). Please e-mail Jean: dancingjean88@yahoo.com if you would prefer a private room.

Jean will provide a simple dinner on Friday evening (pasta & salad), as well as breakfast and lunch items for Saturday and Sunday. This is included in the cost. Please bring a dish for our Saturday potluck dinner. Each participant will be responsible for his/her lunch on Friday.

Please make your initial payment to the club treasurer. This will reserve a spot for you on the trip.

A pre-trip meeting will be announced by email in early December.
