The HPREC Camping Group is a subset of the HPREC of Oregon. Any member of the HPREC can be a voting member of the camping group by stating their desire to be a member and attending camp outs and meetings. Any HPREC member can be a member and join in on the camp outs, some come and stay in motels others bring their grand kids who "love to pitch tents." The camping group shall operate as a majority rule group. The group will have its own elected officers, elected for a two year term; the officers for 2010 are:
  • Wagon master - Butterfield (e-mail lsbutterfield560@aol.com)
  • Assistant Wagon master - Ken Parker (e-mail kennethparker3@comcast.net)
  • Secretary/Treasurer - Rita Pinard (e-mail ritapinard@comcast.net)
  • Special Committees as appointed by the Wagon master
The camping group exists for the pleasure of its members. Its purpose is to develop friendships and provide entertainment for its members and invited guests through camping activities.
  • Members will host or be a co-host for camping outings.
  • No dues are required, however fundraisers may be held to earn money for the group.
  • Deposits to hold sites will be made from the HPREC Club by the group treasurer until commitments can be obtained (including deposits) from those wishing to attend an outing.
  • Destinations include State Parks, County Parks and privately owned campgrounds. Winter outings need to be booked in campgrounds/RV Parks with a heated recreation/meeting room

September 8-9, 2009 Campout at Champoeg State Park, OR

Start with good friends, add a beautiful park, and perfect weather and you have our campout at Champoeg State Park. Tuesday evening, September 8th, we spent visiting and enjoying a campfire. Wednesday morning we attempted to play disc golf, however, we’re not quite ready for the professional tour! After a tour of the park and a visit to the museum we had a few hours to rest, ride bikes, or whatever.

Tuesday evening the excellent cooks of the group provided a tasty potluck dinner followed by a movie.

Wednesday morning started with a potluck breakfast and a decision to come back next year to this park.
