Trip Name: Shooting Sports Weekend
Destination: Camp Barstow | 117 Camp Barstow Drive | Saluda, SC 29138
Dates: 11/17/2023 6:00 PM to 11/19/2023 12:30 PM
We'll meet at Matthews Presbyterian Church at 6:00 PM on Friday, November 17 to pack and depart by 6:30 pm. We'll travel to Camp Barstow, arriving at approximately 9:00 pm.
On Saturday, we'll rise, prepare, and eat breakfast, clean up and proceed to rifle/shotgun ranges. All attendees will have an opportunity to shoot both 12-gauge shotguns and .22 caliber rifles, supervised by the shooting sports team at Camp Barstow. They are a well-trained and friendly team that are excellent at both instructing and supervising youth in the shooting sports.
After shooting, we'll go to the tomahawk range and throw tomahawks at large wooden targets. This is a popular and fun activity, and all participants will be closely supervised to ensure a very safe environment to enjoy this activity.
We'll prepare dinner in the evening and have a campfire program before lights out and all quiet. On Sunday morning, we'll pack up and prepare breakfast, load the trailer, and have a short worship service prior to departing Camp Barstow to return to Matthews Presbyterian Church at approximately 12:30 pm.
The cost for this trip is $50.00 and includes campsite, rifle, shotgun and tomahawk ranges, food, and ammunition for shooting.
IMPORTANT: Signups for this trip will close on November 14, 2023, at 5:00 PM. (The Tuesday prior the trip)
