DAVETREK ADVENTURES

Sunset at Haleakala Crater—January 2005 © David Brotsky

Here is the plan:

 

A) Go to a really nice park (one of the best in NJ!) full of activities in the NJ, with singles, couples, families and kids,

B) Give people choice of a variety of things (including nothing at all but hanging out),

C) Have a BBQ and a bonfire.

 

What more do you need?

 

 

This year, we are adding a bonfire for everyone and camping  on Sunday night for a small amount of people, and the next day we will do a hike in the area. 

 

 

Here are some of the activities available:

 

Hiking (Advanced and Easy)                                                           Boating & Fishing (Canoe & Kayak)

Volleyball, Soccer and Frisbee                                                       BBQ

Bonfire                                                                                            Camping—Saturday & Sunday Nights!

Beach with Swimming                                                                   Playground for kids

Biking/Rollerblading (Mountain and regular bikes, but you must bring your own equipment/bikes)

 

Please see the event details page for all the specifics…and see below for all the pricing

 

Decide quickly so you won’t get closed out!  Right now, the weather looks to be awesome ( in the mid 80s and sunny). Severe rain cancels, but otherwise the event will occur. 

 

 

YOU MUST PAY IN ADVANCE FOR THIS EVENT

 

VIA PAYPAL AT THE END OF THE RSVP FORM

OR BY CHECK.

  

GIVEN THE SIZE OF THIS EVENT,

PEOPLE WHO DO NOT REGISTER PROPERLY,

DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE, OR SUPPLY ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION

BY THE DEADLINES ABOVE WILL BE REJECTED.

 

 

We had to reject  many people last year because people registered late or incompletely, and we still had about 60 people. This year we had over 125 for Memorial Day, and at some point I will close this out. It could be our biggest event ever! Register QUICKLY, so you don’t get closed out!

 

 

Directions - see my detailed instructions here. Please do not use GPS exclusively – it will get you only close to the park and not to the right place within the park, so print and follow along on the directions. Please note that there is a $10 per car entrance fee for the park, which is included in the ride fee when you offer to take 3 passengers or the van fee.
