Every participant will receive a Rider’s Book with a detailed agenda, curated rides and relative GPX files, things to do, logistics.
WHERE
Our base will be the Nelson Dewey State Park, in Wisconsin. This is a new destination for CAMP, and one we are very excited about: situated right on the Mississippi River, the park is less than 200 miles from Chicago, is beautiful, and offers the perfect mix of activities both on and off our bikes. We will be in the heart of the Driftless Area, at the crossroad of Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, an area which offers the best riding in the Midwest. Hiking, canoeing, kayaking are also possible in the park.
The campsite has electricity, picnic tables and a large fire ring. A shelter, vault toilets and water are also available, but no showers.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND WHAT’S INCLUDED?
This S’more only costs $35 per person. This includes your camping spot for 2 nights, curated rides with relative GPX files and a riders’ info pack with things to do in the area, firewood and s’mores every night. You can add dinner on Friday for $10.
$35: camping spot for two nights in total (not per night - this is TOTAL, per person)
$10 per dinner on Friday (drinks not included)
