Campin’ and Cruzin’: A Family Tent Camping and Bike Trip

Directions

All ages are invited! Pack up your family and your tents and join us for a fun family adventure in the beautiful mountains of southwest Virginia! We'll depart Friday at 12:30PM and spend the evening camping together at the Creeper Trail Campground in Whitetop, VA. We will enjoy a relaxing evening under the beautiful open sky around the campsite with dinner provided. On Saturday morning, we'll eat breakfast, then head up to Damascus to rent bikes and ride the shuttle up to Abingdon, VA, to begin our ride on the famous Virginia Creeper Trail. The 16.8 mile route back to Damascus is primarily a gentle downhill ride, making it a great experience for families and riders of various skill levels who are comfortable riding on paved surfaces. When we arrive back in Damascus, we will head home! Cost: $50 per person The cost includes: • Van transportation for the first 30 registrants if needed • Campsite space for your tent • Friday dinner at the campground • Saturday breakfast at the campground • Bike Rental & Shuttle transportation from Damascus to Abingdon (A slightly cheaper option to bring your own bike is available, but you must drive yourself as we will not have room to transport bikes). What you are responsible for: • water and snacks for your family • personal camping supplies (tent, bedding, chairs, etc.) • clothes and personal items for the night 40 camping spots are available. 30 spots are available in the WCR Vans for transportation. Please note whether you plan to ride with us as you register. We will be towing a trailer to accommodate luggage transportation. If you plan to ride your own bike, then you must drive separately due to space limitations. Come enjoy a weekend of outdoor adventure, family fun, and fellowship as we camp, cruise, and make memories together!
