Here comes LakeFest!

It’s the ‘save the best for last’ final adaptive ski event of the year. Lake Fest is Saturday, September 10th from 9 till 3 at Marine Creek Lake in Ft. Worth. This is a great event, co-sponsored by Turning POINT and hosted by the Metroplex Ski Club. A delicious BBQ lunch will be provided by none other than Camp Craig Allen’s very own BBQ team, the fine folks at Tim’s Tailgate / Karma Que. Activities will include skiing, jet skiing, tubing, sailing, hand cycles, air rifles, archery, etc. There is no cost for this event, but if you plan to ski please sign up for either the morning or the afternoon session. You can register by replying to a gentleman’s email named Rick at rick@youcanski.org or by calling him at 214-808-5865. For those planning to volunteer, please let him know as soon as possible if you are coming. Especially if you can provide a boat or PWC.

I got to go to this event last year and it was awesome! I met up with one of my friends who it was her 1st time to go waterskiing! She had the biggest smile on her face 🙂 Hope to see her again there this year! And you will get a preview of just how awesome the BBQ will be during the October 7 and 8 BBQ cookoff in Frisco.

Rolling on, Stephanie

 

I’m going cray-cray for BBQ!!

In exactly 2 months we will all be looking our fingers to the wonders of BBQ! October 7 and 8 at the Toyota Stadium (Red Corolla Lot) in Frisco Texas Camp Craig Allen will be having the 9th Annual BBQ cookoff and festival!

There is still lots of help needed! Everything from being a BBQ team, to volunteering , being a vendor, or giving a auction item. If you are wanting to do any of these things to help out it would be greatly appreciated! All of the forms/rules can be found on the website, http://www.campcraigallen.org/bbq! Just by coming to have fun, and eat some great BBQ is something you will not regret. I hope to see all my peeps there! Last year it was awesome, and I am sure that this year it will be even more awesome!  So get your tickets now! If for some reason you are not able to make it I will be saddened, however you can always make a donation to help us out on our website, http://www.campcraigallen.org! As a 501(c) 3 Corporation everything you give is tax-deductible!

Rolling on, Stephanie

The month of Aug. will be hot literally and physically!

There is so many things going on this month that I will probably forget something. If you are physically disabled there is no reason for boredom this month.

The North Texas Wheelchair Hockey League’s North Stars hockey team will meet Sunday, Aug. 14 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, a at Carpenter Park Recreation Center at 6701 Coit Road, Plano, TX 75024
For more info and to SIGN UP go to http://campcraigallen.org/wheelchairhockey

Camp Craig Allen will be collaborating with Metroplex Adaptive Water Sports (MAWS) for an adaptive water skiing clinic for advanced skiers at Pecan Cove in Waxahachie. More info is at http://www.youcanski.org. MAWS will also have the All Can Ski event for all ability levels at the San Marcos River Ranch, Martindale, TX on Mon, Aug. 15 and Tue, Aug. 16. There are both morning and afternoon sessions to ski. For more information go to http://www.sanantoniosports.org/allcanski/. Or you can search All Can Ski on FaceBook. Space is very limited, so sign up soon if you plan to go. The place where they usually have this at every year ended up being moved closer to the Metroplex! So hoping that more people can attend.

Another organization to consider going to their events is our collaborative partner, Turning Point. They are having events all throughout this month. Anything from hand cycling, archery, kayaking, and more. Loads of fun! For specific days and times check their website at www.turningpointnation.org.

I hope that everyone enjoys the month! I am not letting the able-bodied people off the hook with nothing to do either! In each one of these events there is always room for some kind of volunteering. Get in contact with that particular organization to find out how! If you happen to make one of these events you can always let me know, and I will give you free reign to say something on the blog about it!
