BIG HOW!!

It is Long House time! Mark down October 25 and 26 for the Boys Fall Long House at Cracker Creek. Hopefully, the weather will cool down and remind us why we love fall and all the activities it brings. This year we will be camping at Cracker Creek, which is said to be an environmental and historical treasure of Port Orange. It is located on the western side of Spruce Creek and is home to a variety of endangered plants and animals. Cracker Creek is a nature preserve and offers many recreational activities such as boating, bird watching, canoeing, kayaking, and hiking. Some of these activities will require additional charges. And, what’s a fall long house without war games, pumpkin carving, and a critter race! Hope to see everyone there for a fun filled weekend. (There will be NO power at this camping area)
