Looks like June 1,2,3 has to be the date for the Jam because of reservation issues for May. So June it is. I have the upper pavilion nailed down to. For those wanting to rent a camper, best to call Sylvia and get the rental reservation made. 814-435-6764. It's still ski season up here, and Sylvia works during the winter at the slopes, so you'll probably get an answering machine. Leave a message explaining what you are calling about and she will return your call.
Let's nail down the particulars in this thread.
Kenshire Kampsite
Phone: 814-435-6764
[color=CC0000]Accomodations and details. Iffin ya don't see what yer lookin fer, ask.
4- 20amp Trailer Sites near the upper Pavillion $20/nt (2) people
5- 30amp Trailer Sites Across the road form Pav. $20/nt (2) people
Extra people $3/nt.
Tenting is primitave in the field around the Pavillion but there is water and electric.
(2) per tent = $17/nt.
(1) per tent = $10/nt.
There is a camp store with candy, snacks and some camping supplies, not much though.
There is also a gameroom with a pool table and video games.
Horseshoe pits near the pavillion.
Sylvia said you can wait til the month of May to reserve but I would do it as soon as you are sure. If room is still available, last minute sites are reservable upon arrival. But as she said, she'd like to know what kind of crowd we plan to muster so she can prepare.

Those who would like to attend for all or part of this event can make reservations at the Campground listed above. Touch the link for a view of thier website. The core dates will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday June 1,2,3. Some folks typically come earlier and stay later. Others just show up for the Friday and Saturday Campfires held after the fishing is done for the day.
We normally have a central meeting place in the mornings with a HUGE pot of coffee. Paul G usually takes care of this. That won't change. It appears we will be "circling the wagons" around a pavillion per Festus's request.
Last year we toyed with the idea of having a gear swap on Friday or Saturday night. I'd like to see this again. You can bring an item or items you don't use or would like to swap for another item on the table. Ideas of items may be; A box of flies, Rods, rod tubes, nets, vests, chest boxes, etc. Bring some barter to get your desired item. Maybe a bottle of scotch, or case of beer?
We Bring our own food, just like normal camping and sometimes share or have group "feeds". I'll be bringing my wifes home made salsa. I sure hope Paul brings the deer bologna.
We gather for coffee, fish til we're hungry, eat at the campground (and sometimes at the streams) and fish again until dark. Then the fun starts. :-D
I hope anyone who can make it takes advantage of this opportunity to put a face with the names you see on the board. Every Jam for the past 7 have been friendly, learning experiences for 'out of the area" fly fishers and enjoyable for the home crowd. We've held casting clinics and talk flyfishing. Once we tried to talk Politics but Paul sent us to bed...at 4:00am.
Ask questions here and mark your calanders for June 1,2,3. It should prove to be an AWESOME weekend.
You can PM either Festus or Maurice if you would rather keep your requests and questions private.
