The big 20′ Tipi will be back up with a warm camp fire, my Alpacas will be out in full force all 4 of them will be happy to hike you into the forest to our climbing site.

Time: the smaller children can climb from 6:p.m. till 8:p.m. Adults can climb from 8:p.m. till midnight.

This will be a fun adventure and also a fund raiser to buy Hay for my Alpacas for the winter, $20.00 donation would be perfect per climber.

I know a lot of people some how get Saturday and Sunday mixed up, so if you would like to try tree climbing or see the Alpacas or sit in the Tipi with a camp fire make sure you show up on Sunday from 6:p.m. till
midnight. If you show up on Saturday just come back the next day and
everything will fine.
