Details: The NCFC camping trip is planned for September 16 th 18th, 2005, in the Santa Cruz Mountains at the Chesebrough Boy Scout Camp. The camp features a full commercial kitchen and showers with hot water (so it's roughing it with styleŠ). It will be two days and two nights dedicated to fellowship with the Native American Flute and your fellow flute players. On Friday night, we are proud to have Elysium Calling ( www.elysiumcalling.com <http://www.elysiumcalling.com/> ) back for a second year. Garth and Kenneth have recently released their new album, Imagination, and they will be playing selected tunes as well as jamming with audience members. On Saturday, Scott August (www.cedarmesa.com <http://www.cedarmesa.com/> ) will present two workshops, a beginner's workshop in the morning, and a creativity/songwriting workshop in the afternoon. On Saturday evening, we are excited to enjoy Scott's music in concert. Scott recently released his latest album "New Fire". It has been a while since Scott has visited us in Northern California, so this is an event that you don't want to miss!! All
food, camping fees, concerts and workshops will be included with the cost
of the event. Bob DeMattei will be our gourmet chef again this year

When you arrive at Saratoga, if you are on Saratoga Ave, continue straight; if you are on DeAnza, turn right at the signal. You will now be on Big Basin Way (Highway 9). At the top of the hill (7miles), cross highway 35 (stop sign) and continue about 1.5miles. The entance to Chesebrough Scout Reservation is on the right (it is across the road from the far end of the vista point parking lot). Here's a map.
Registration:
Kids are welcome. This year we've created a special fee for kids. Unfortunately the camp ground does not allow pets (even if you consider them your kids). To reserve your spot up please send a check, made out to Northern California Flute Circle by September 9th. Please note on your check that this is for 2005 Camping trip.
