Gulf Shores State Park
Saturday - Sunday, May 23 - 24

Come join Campus Recreation and Outdoor Adventures as we camp at the Gulf Shores State Park on May 23 and 24 (Saturday and Sunday).  This is a wonderful – and inexpensive – way to experience the beautiful Gulf Shores.

We will leave from the Student Recreation Center at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and camp at the Park where showers and toilets are available.  We will return to Mobile by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Participants may go to Waterville USA – a huge water and amusement park – for an additional $29.  Or just lie and the beach and/or hike and swim for free.  We can also hike the 4 mile, 90 minute Pine Beach Trail in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge where a simple walk down a forested nature trail will reveal sand dunes and pristine white beaches.  As the trail meanders, we will get a close look at marshes and perhaps see an alligator.  For meals, you can cook in camp or go out and eat.

Driver needed: a faculty or staff member is needed to drive their car; if you drive, we will waive all of your fee and pay for your gas.

Cost (per person): $30 for students/one family member; $40 for staff/faculty/one family member; $50 for non-USA.  The fee includes transportation, camping and cooking gear, and campground fees.

Sign up:  with Randy Hunter, Campus Recreation or leave a check for the $10 deposit or for the full amount payable to “U.S.A.” (sorry, no cash) along with your name and cell phone number at the Front Desk of  the Student Recreation Center.  We will call you and confirm receipt of check. The full amount is due no later than Thursday, May 21.  Fees paid are non-refundable within 3 days of trip UNLESS we can replace you or trip is canceled. Checks will not be deposited until completion of trip; if trip is canceled, all fees will be refunded.
 
Pre-trip meeting: Thursday, May 21, 6:00 p.m., Student Recreation Center.  We will sign forms, issue gear, answer questions.

Trip limit: maximum of 14; minimum of five.
