Looking for camping buddies
Hi, I would like to find someone who is interested in traveling to the canyon. I've never been and I currently reside in Southeast North Dakota. This would be my first time going to a clothing optional campground and I plan to go this spring/summer to experience the atmosphere.

Prayers for Bill
We wish to let all our camping buddies at the "Canyon" of Bill's health. Over the years his health has deteriorated. Bill had partial lung removal due to cancer and now he was diagnosed to have cancerous masses in his colon (that were removed). This cancer has now spread to his liver. We pray for his health and hope that you keep him in your prayers.

Interested in a men's spiritual retreat at CCC?
I think a progressive, interfaith, sex-positive spiritual renewal retreat at CCC would be awesome. Has this happened there yet? Any thoughts?
