Luxury Campout 2019 - Jan. 11-13th - Sign Up


Here's a summary of what we typically do at one of our most popular “campouts” of the year. As always, read it all.

There are two houses, across the street from one another, in an oceanfront community in Rehoboth, DE.

Friday, we will try to assemble early, at 4:00, to try to leave at 4:30 to avoid traffic. If you can't assemble that early, let us know in the notes when you sign up.

Everyone should take a brown bag dinner (it is a long drive).

Saturday, we get up, have a cooked breakfast and head to the beach in Ocean City, MD; a 20-minute drive away. Then we "hike" the entire stretch of the boardwalk, which is about 2 miles.  At the end of the hike we are surrounded by arcades and beach food establishments. After playing games (and losing more money then some care to admit), we’ll drive to a fast food establishment for lunch  Scouts should bring along $ for lunch and for the arcades.  It's up to the parents how much the scouts spend at the arcades.

After the arcades and we're all broke and have exchanged our game coupons for cheap toys, we head out for a visit to Assateague State Park on the ocean, south of Ocean City. We then head back to the houses for the joint dinner, including the seafood: crabs (if available) and shrimp. For those not seafood-oriented, there will be a pasta option (please indicate your preference when you sign up so we can get the proper quantities of each).

Sunday, we get up, clean the houses and head home after a quick cold breakfast. We're usually home no later than 1 pm (sometimes by noon).

Fees are $34.75 for Scouts, $39.75 for adults (this covers food and house cleaning fees), payable by PayPal.

More notes:

1.  Bring a pad and sleeping bag. We sleep ON the beds (over the sheets), if you are lucky enough to get a bed. Everyone else is on the floor.

2.  No mess kits needed: everything to eat with and eat on is provided.

3.  This is the only trip where electronics are allowed. Don't expect fancy TVs to hook your console up to. Talk to someone who's been there for specifics. Bring your own monitor if you can (assuming we’re not too tight and the car you’re traveling in has room for it).
