DIRECTIONS: Google Map

SCHEDULE: Friday evening, we’ll settle in at our respective cabins, hang out, and grill our first meal together. Saturday, we’ll start the day with a great breakfast and a morning devotional, after which we will go on an awesome 4 mile kayaking trip! That evening we’ll have smoked, pulled pork sandwiches, build a campfire, roast marshmallows, make S’MORES and do live worship around the fire — it’ll be great! Then, Sunday, we’ll have another good breakfast, short devotional, make our lunches, clean up our cabins, and head back home. We should arrive back in Tyler around 3 pm.

CABIN INFORMATION: Talako Lodge, Breckoma Cabin, Sasquatch Hills Cabin, and Autumn Point Cabin.  The cabins are incredibly nice, with hotel-like amenities — even hot tubs and pool tables! We will have a bed for each person on the trip, but that may mean doubling up with another person in Queen or King sized beds. It also may include futons and couch beds. If you get a bed that will not work for you, we will have air mattresses available as an alternative arrangement. We are at max capacity and very much appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we try to make this a great experience for everyone!
