Luggage: All types of luggage is allowed (including trash cans)

imageMark your luggage with a yellow ribbon (for GCN) and place it in the staging area when you arrive arrive at the dock. A few dads will watch kids while the rest of the dads load luggage onto the boat.  When we arrive at Two Harbors, the same process is used to unload the luggage to the end of the dock.  There it is picked up and trucked to the campground near site #20.  You’ll pick it up from there and walk it to your camp area.  Many dads find that rolling trash cans are a convenient way to transport gear, whatever luggage you bring, make sure it’s well identified, easy for you to recognize, and something you can move up and down ramps and hills easily.

The most convenient place to drop off your stuff is at the corner of Main and E Bay.  The earlier you arrive the easier this will be, finding a spot on the curb gets to be a challenge close to departure time.  There is a large parking lot near the Balboa pier (see map on flyer) where you can leave your car if you’re not getting dropped off ($8/day).

Checking In

imageWhen you arrive at Balboa Pavilion: Bring your luggage to the gathering area and check in with the event coordinator.  You’ll receive wrist bands that are required to get on the boat.  You’ll also receive yellow ribbon to place on all your luggage.  This ribbon will determine where your luggage gets dropped off at the campground.  GCN (yellow tagged) luggage will be dropped off near campsite #20.

imageWhen you arrive at the Island: Dads will unload the luggage to the end of the pier.  From there it will be trucked to the campground.  There is a 1/4 mile walk to the campground (path shown in flyer).  Your tribe chief should know which campsites you’re headed for.

More Details

imageFood: Menu option have not been finalized, but typical breakfast includes eggs, bacon, cereal, milk, orange juice and coffee.  Typical lunch includes hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, and a treat with Gatorade & water.  Typical dinner includes lasagna or tacos, salad, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, bread, and a treat with Gatorade and water.  You might want to bring additional snack food if you’re brave is a picky eater, because while the food is generally very good, options at each meal are limited.  The only meal that will not be provided is Sunday lunch.  You are encouraged to bring food, grab something from the store, or eat at the restaurant on your own schedule.  Dinner will be served on the beach Sunday evening.

imageAccommodations: There are sinks, drinking fountains, and outdoor showers in the campground as well as pit toilets.  Indoor coin operated showers and flush toilets can be found in Two Harbors 1/4 mile from the campground.  Campsites have fire pits and picnic tables.  There is a small store in Two Harbors that sells snack foods, beverages, icr, wood, ice cream, and camp items you may have forgotten.
