Some Updates for You

SAFETY: There is a medical facility in Elliston, MT about 6 miles down the road should anything happen that may require a visit. So rest assured and with prayer for safety, we will get through the weekend with minimized injury.

CELL PHONES: Now for you city slickers, your cell phone may not receive all those text messages and important phone calls while you're at the camp. We are in Montana, in the "sticks" and there probably won't be coverage. So be prepared!

PHOTOS OF THE PAST: BRING YOUR PHOTO ALBUMS of the past to share with everyone. There will be a memorabilia table with photo albums, stories that have been submitted, for all to look at and converse over.

CHURCH SERVICE ON SUNDAY: There will be a church service, with some scripture reading, singing. Let's keep the proper perspective and be thankful for the many blessing we as an extended family have had over the years.

DIRECTIONS TO CAMP: The camp is near Elliston MT, which is about 20 miles west of Helena on Highway 12 towards Missoula. It is on the west side of McDonald Pass. From Elliston, you travel on Little Blackfoot River Road for about 6 miles to the South-Southeast of Elliston. Here is a link to Google Map that shows the direction from Elliston. Blue marker is Elliston and Green marker is Lions Camp. Happy travels!

Pictures of the Camp

Playground area for the kids. It maybe hard to keep the adults off of some of these things. Dick, when was the last time you were on a Teeter Totter?

Anyone for horseshoes? We like to play Frisbee Golf too! There are alot of trees to get creative with.

The Fire Pit where we will be singing, talking, telling stories, laughing. See the Bunk houses in the background.

The Bunk Houses. Not a 5 Star Hilton. But maybe there will be mints under the pillows.

The Chow Hall. Will need to reorganize a bit.

The Community Hall. Square Dancing, talent night, games, etc.

The Front gate. Nice area for a reunion. Should be loads of FUN.
