Join us for the Annual CBC Camping Trip! We are excited to return to Sharp Creek Campground and enjoy the cool breezes through the ponderosa pines as we spend a few days together as a group. It is a wonderful time to get to know new people you have not been able to connect with as well as connect with those you have not been able to spend much time in the business of life. We hope you join us for camping or even coming for the day this year!
Where it is:
CBC will have the group campsite from Thursday July 25 through Sunday July 28. People are free to join for any number of those days but it is important to register as space is limited so we need to know who is coming and when to work with the camp host in order to accommodate our larger group.
The group sites are dispersed throughout a large area. You will need to haul your equipment from your vehicle in the group parking lot up to whatever spot you choose. This can be as close as 25 feet or as much as 50 yards depending on how adventurous of a location you decide in the group area.
We will have shared meals together on Friday night, Saturday for Lunch, and Saturday for dinner as well as provide muffins, bagels for breakfast on Sunday morning. CBC covers the cost of the campground but we do ask that those joining us sign up to contribute some supplies as well as help cook for one of the shared meals so that we can enjoy large shared meals together.
There is lots of hiking, lakes for swimming or fishing, forests to run through and activities that will ensure it is a great time for all. The campground has improved toilets, drinking water, electricity at the ramada for cooking and lights, ramada area that seats six 10-person picnic tables, several grills, improved firepits with large concrete pad surrounding it, and a large field directly in front of the group area for volleyball, spike ball, frisbee and any other games you want to play.
What you should bring:
For yourself - tent or trailer for sleeping, Bible, personal care, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, raincoat, sneakers or hiking shoes, bottled water & snacks, camping chairs, lanterns, flashlights, sun shades, seat cushions (for seating at a picnic table).
For fun - Volleyball, frisbee, cards, football, board games, music instruments, Sudoku
For little kids - plastic play pools for water or sand
We also need people to help bring firewood so if you can bring some with you please let us know so we make sure we have enough for the weekend.
Alternative lodging if needed:
The camping area is approx 1/2 hour from Payson. Some people have rented hotel rooms there and come to join us for the day. There are several large airbnb cabins in the nearby area as well if several families want to book them together. Simply search ,for Sharp Creek campground on google maps to see how far from various places you might be traveling.
Hope all this information helps and families that cannot camp with us can perhaps still join us at the campgrounds during the day on Saturday!
