We have suggestions for you on styles of the gear you need for camp.  These links will show you what we know works BEST.  For example, hexagon shaped weights work better than round.

Always look around for "deals" on gear.  Play It Again Sports gives us  Savings Bucks that we will pass along to you any time!

EATING OUT?

Wilamena is a camper and also a server at CPK.  She gave an EXCELLENT suggestion for anyone eating out ordering a LARGE salad!

Have half of it served to you while you dine-in and as your server to package up the other half in a TO-GO container! 

You'll get TWO meals out of it and won't be tempted to overdo your intake.

Serving sizes are out of control these days so you have to educate yourself and work to stick to it.
