FRIDAY, SEPT. 12
VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN | 3PM
THE FRONT PATIO
Nobody is required to help us setup, but if you are into that kind of thing, we will provide you a free meal! Limited to 10 people, though we may not need that many! If you want to join us for the ENTIRE weekend, this is a good way to do it! Please select the option to volunteer FRIDAY in your RSVP!
VOLUNTEER MEAL | 6PM
THE GRAND HALL
Everyone has to eat at some point! While we are only providing dinner on wedding day, our caterer will deliver some fresh food for us while we setup. They are bringing 10 extra meals, for those who help us setup. However the kitchen will be open for all, if you happen to be around and need to cook something for yourself! Free Ice and Refrigeration space is also available.
VOLUNTEER RELEASE | 8PM
We appreciate all the help we can get! Even if we are still setting up, we are letting those who want to volunteer know, we wont ask you to stay too late. Bunkhouses are available to all wedding guests, however volunteers will get first dibs!
SATURDAY, SEPT. 13
BYO BRUNCH | 11AM
THE FALLS (SHORT HIKE)
One of the more significant attractions at the park, Sand Creek makes for great fishing. Just a short hike down from The Cliffs or Bunkhouse Basin, we will have a gas stove, iron skillet and boiling water prepared for use near The Falls. If you stay with us Friday night, this is a good opportunity to get the blood flowing before the day's festivities. We don't plan on fishing for our meal, but you definitely could! (might bring your own skillet though)
Keep in mind, you can store your breakfast items in THE KITCHEN whenever you arrive. Free Ice and Refrigeration is available.
WELCOME PARTY | 12 NOON
THE FRONT PATIO
We know not everyone will be able to make it a day early, but we wanted to have time for fellowship between families. The day of is always a busy day, and making time to enjoy nature and the great outdoors is important to both of us! You can show up anytime you want, but this is when we will discuss the activities we will have planned for the day. We will do our best to post the info various places around the venue.
We will have some snack trays in The Grand Hall - but it is recommended to bring a sandwich! Keep in mind, you can store your sandwich items in the kitchen whenever you arrive. Free Ice and Refrigeration is available.
FAMILY ACTIVITIES | 1PM
BUNKHOUSE BASIN
While we wont initially be certain how many people will be joining us, the plan is for various members of our family to host different activities through-out the day. We have a few ideas, but are open to any ideas you may have! Let us know on the RSVP if you have any ideas or if you would like to host an activity, so far we have:
Horseshoe Tournament | HOST - Johnny Weber
Cornhole Tournament | HOST - Johnathon Weber
Youth Flag Football | NEEDS HOST
Photo Scavenger Hunt | HOST - Roxy Mae
Specific activity times are TBD - but please let us know if you are interested in coming for this!
FIRESIDE POTLUCK | 5PM
THE CLIFFS
Winding down from the activities, we welcome those who plan to arrive later in the day. Instead of opting to feed everyone for the entire weekend, we wanted to provide an opportunity for friends & family to share their favorite dishes with us. The wedding party is not required to provide a dish, but we ask that everyone else does. The wedding party will vote for the best dish during rehearsal and announce the winner during the reception the next day. There will be a prize, lets call it a sur-prize.
Keep in mind, you can store your pot-luck food items in the kitchen whenever you arrive. Power can be provided for crock-pots, etc. Free Ice and Refrigeration is available, please let us know in ADVANCE if you'd need to use the stove/oven for potluck items, it may become a HOT commodity. ;)
REHEARSAL MEETING | 7PM
THE GRAND HALL
We really hope all members of The Wedding Party can make it out for the rehearsal, especially those with tasks during the wedding day. No pressure, but the bachelor and bachelorette parties follow this meeting, so if you want to attend one of those parties, you better make it to this meeting!
BACHELOR & BACHELORETTE PARTY | 8PM
ON SITE - LOCATION TBA
While the details will not be revealed to us - we are excited to celebrate with our bridesmaids and groomsmen! However, we invite everyone who wishes to join us. Might be smart to leave the kids at camp - but we wont judge! Please let us know in the RSVP if you want to be a part of this fun!

Whether you are parking upon arrival or making your way from camp, please check in with the Ushers and write your name in the guest book.

Feel free to stop and strike a pose, we would love a picture and wont post them without consent!
CEREMONY | 4PM
THE CLIFFS
The single, biggest, most important moment of our lives. Starting at 4p on the dot, not a second later - we will exchange vows and say I do! The rocky terrain may make standing an easier option for most - but feel free to grab a chair! The area is wheelchair accessible. Ushers will help everyone stay clear of the brides path down the isle, so play nice!

The venue is rented until 11am, so we need help packing everything we came with and restoring the entire group camp facility back to the condition we found it. Please do you best to pick up after yourself, and our families as a whole. Please select the option to volunteer SUNDAY in your RSVP!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
WHEN YOU ARRIVE - CONTINUE FORWARD, DO NOT TURN
Please follow all Speed Limit signs on the way in to the park. The speed limit remains 15mph once you get to the park office and beyond. Just past the Park Office is a stop sign. Continue forward, do not turn at the Picnic Area or Cabin Area, continue forward. The road will split into a loop, at the top of the loop is the Group Camp Facility, on the right. On the left, you will see an empty area, likely with at least a couple cars, this is the parking area designated for the wedding.
FREE PARKING!! - PLEASE DO NOT PARK UNTIL YOU READ THIS!!
Please park for free, at the designated parking area. Parking is one way the park is able to generate revenue for the upkeep of the facilities, so Park Rangers enforce it accordingly. The designated parking area is inside the loop to the left, directly across the street from the group camp facility. Please see the map, click here. Parking is free, if you park in the right place. We will not be able to help you if you do not park in the free parking area and get a ticket. That being said - the parking pass is not that expensive and helps the park and it allows you to drive all around the park and park anywhere. So definitely consider it as an alternative to any free parking confusion.
CHECK IN AT THE FRONT PATIO
Once you get parked, please come to The Front Patio of the Grand Hall. Regardless of what day you arrive, we will have a table setup for you to check in, and provide a brief description of your vehicle to ensure you have parked in the right place. If you haven't, we will know who to find! If you arrive earlier than Sunday, or plan to stay the night Sunday night additional information will be available when checking in.
