awbrown	10/28/2014 12:58PM Here's some photos from this years WCS more to come
awbrown	10/28/2014 10:36AM Had a great time. The weather was perfect. Warm days and enough chill at night to fire up the tent stove. Photos to follow.
Soledad	10/27/2014 10:23PM Lots of stories to tell about this year. Very late nights and early mornings. The best photos have been posted to the WCS Facebook page I think the best stories come from the kids who attended the Kid's camp. They got to work with some amazing guys who taught them bushcraft skills on Saturday. When I got my two boys home they went right to the back yard to make a fire and whittle with their new Mora knives.
Jaywalker	10/27/2014 07:28PM Report? Photos? Stories?
Woodweller	09/26/2014 10:04PM My wife and I are going this year. Tried to go two years ago but had to bail at the last minute. Hoping to pull it off this time. Looking forward to new experiences, especially trying out a borrowed hot tent!

Maybe remove some of the old content so it's clearer what's upcoming?" Updated recently,thanks! Make sure to check back, registration will be live soon. Also check us out on Facebook. LL

awbrown	06/09/2014 08:13PM Just announced. The 16th annual Winter Camping Symposium is returning to YMCA Camp Miller in Sturgeon Lake, Minnesota. Dates are Thursday, Octover 23- Sunday October 26, 2014. I urge anyone who is interested in camping during the Fall, Winter or Spring to attend. It's a great get together. You'll learn a lot, meet a lot of fascinating folks and eat well.
