Itinerary:

We will only spend one night out to see how well you can survive the cold! or it may not be so cold after all.

Located near Grand Bend on the shores of Lake Huron, The Pinery is a popular place to camp in the summer and has many winter activities. Visitors can camp on electrically serviced sites, broadwalk to the beach, ski on the 38 kilometres of cross-country trails or walk along one of the trails, so bring 'em if there's snow.

We'll only book one night, but be sure to get there early on Saturday morning to take full advantage of all the day's activities.

You don't need special technical gear to camp in the cold, but there are a few tricks in keeping warm. As usual, there will be a MANDATORY preliminary meeting to ensure that everyone has the right equipment, or access to that equipment.
