  • 12:30pm - 1:30pm Camp Cleanup With your sleeping area group, you will help to clean up a general space of the camp and nearby paths, or one of our other settings areas around the camp. Once you have finished, you will have your sheet signed off by your assigned Guide. Then the group will proceed to the individual sleeping areas for the final Personal Cleanup assignments.

  • 1:30pm - 2:30pm Personal Site Cleanup Everyone cleans up their sleeping areas and moves all their stuff to their transportation in the parking lot. This is done by area and group, and will also include straightening up that area, sweeping, mopping, or other minor housekeeping tasks. Once everyone in the area is done, a Guide who stays in your sleeping area will inspect the area and sign off on your Character Sheet that you have completed your personal cleanup. and you will turn your sheet in to the Gamerunners on the porch of Cedar Cabin. After this point you are free to go!

  • 2:30pm Afters! This is optional, but many folks will go to local eateries to hang out and share food and stories. The general favorite is Dynasty Chinese in Temple, TX.
