• March 2024 Canoeing and Northern Tier Shakedown Campout

    This weekend will be a lot of fun for everyone! We will be spending the day canoeing on Lake Texoma and honing our paddling skills. For those going to Northern Tier this weekend we will be practicing our paddling techniques and our portaging. This is the perfect opportunity to test your canoeing skills as well as learn some things in the process. We will have a short class on the parts of the canoes as well as go over the strokes needed.  

  • February Caprock Canyon Campout

    We are traveling North West to Caprock Canyon. There is a large herd of free-range buffalo and more hiking than we can do in a weekend. We haven’t been here in a couple of years and it will not disappoint no matter what we do! There is a bat cave, natural arch, slot canyons and some amazing views. We will camp the entire weekend at Caprock Canyon. The address for the camp is 850 Caprock Canyon Park Road, Quitaque, TX 79255 We will be staying at the LK009, LK008, LK007, and LK006 Campsites.
