Date Set For 2009 Annual Missouri Chapter Campout

Mark your calendar for the weekend of October 16-18 so you won't miss out on the 22nd Annual Missouri Chapter Campout. Join other Sierra Club members for "cabin camping" at Camp Sherwood in Cuivre River State Park. Just 50 miles north of Saint Louis, this 6,000 acre park has two wild areas and three natural areas featuring native prairie, sinkhole ponds, woodlands and a clear, rock-bottomed stream.

This will be a family-friendly event with planned activities for all ages. Details will be published in the AUG-SEP issue of SierraScape.

New members are always welcome.

Contact Jim Young at (314) 664-9392, or the Sierra Club Office at (314) 644-0890 for more information or to volunteer.
