Annual Camping Trip
ECA's 2005 Camping Weekend
Friday - Sunday, May 20 - 22, 2005
All Saints, Carmel Campgrounds
Our urban campers contemplate
the best method of forging the
Big Sur river. May 2003 |
Want to spend a couple of nights around a warm
Big Sur campfire, relaxing and singing under the stars? How
about a Saturday full of children's laughter from innertubing on
the river, adults smiling after a spectacular hike to the ocean
and all ages gathering for a delicious community dinner as the
day's light slips into a special evening light? If this appeals
to you and your family, please join us for ECA's annual camping
weekend May 20-22.
We have a beautiful oak tree studded site
reserved just for us on the Big Sur River, 20 miles south of
Carmel. Tent camping is best here, but there is an area
designated for small R.V.s as well. There are flush toilets, but
no showers. If you bring your dog, you must keep it on a leash
at all times. This campsite is owned by All Saints Episcopal
Church in Carmel and they charge $11 per person, per night. It's worth every penny!

too far!
We have the All Saints, Carmel-owned campground (Santa
Lucia Chapel) on the Big Sur River all to ourselves. It is located 24 miles
