What to expect from this crew of creative individuals? “Ziplines and lakes full of floating docks. Hidden tents and candle-lit huts. Smashball in the giant barn. Manhunt in the forest. Searching through the pines for the flags of the world. And a massive bonfire on the hillside”… Plus great live music and food… for starters! Read on for more information.
The weekend will be full of good people, new friends, and delicious food offerings from The Trough! What you need to know:

The Recon Game:
A challenging course through the landscape requiring a bit of endurance, a lot of keen observation and concentrated recall of things seen, heard, maybe smelled. But some of the details could be red herrings…
The Flag Game:
Another game demanding pace and concentration set in a spruce plantation utilizing the flags of almost every nation of the world arranged on dozens of strange concrete pads.
