***San Diego Lions Week at the Beach***
Fellow Lions (and friends) . . .
We have a campsite reserved at San Clemente State Beach.
When? Weds, June 30th – Tues, July 6th
Who’s invited? You, your families, and your friends!
DETAILS: Campsite #74. It has a large paved area, a large fire ring, a shaded area with a picnic table, and is just up the bluffs from the beach. Toilets are clean and an easy walk from the site. There are hot/cold pay showers available on site, too!
Come by for an afternoon, and evening, all day, or overnight . . . for as many nights as you like!
-Alcohol is allowed! However, please try to be “low key” especially in the evenings, as it is a family campground (and Jeffo’s teacher co-workers will be at an adjacent site )
-Cost: Please bring $10 donation per person, no matter how long/short you stay, so that the club can be reimbursed for this awesome campsite. If we recoup the cost, we’ll put any additional donations toward food/drinks.
-Parking: Only two cars are allowed to park at the site at any given time, and only one car is covered in the fee we’ve paid, so if you are able to bring your car in, expect to pay about $10. However, please just plan to park outside the campground and walk in. There is plenty of curbside parking close to the camp in the surrounding neighborhoods (see Google Map link for details). We will try to have a larger vehicle (truck or SUV) at the site if people/”stuff” needs to be shuttled into the campsite. We will use the Lion’s Twitter feed (which is published on the website) to let people know who is “on shuttle duty” at the campsite. Call the number listed on the website before you come for questions/details.
-Food: There will be a gas grill at the campground and also a small Coleman propane stove (can cook in skillets, pots, boil water, etc.). Please bring your own food. There is a Ralphs less than a mile from the campground, too. (see Google Map) There will be a donation jar set up to cover the cost of propane (if you use it) Suggested donation $3-$5.
-Staying overnight: Feel free! Technically, we are only supposed to have a max of 8 people, but if we “stay low key” and have no more than 8 tents any given night, we should be fine. There is plenty of room for many tents on site. If you plan to be there at night and want to enjoy a campfire, please bring a bundle of wood with your group, too.
-FIREWORKS? According to the city of San Clemente’s website, there will be fireworks at the pier—which is less than a mile from the campsite—on Sunday the 4th at approx. 9pm. We should be able to see them from the camp, and definitely from the beach just below.
