Great Alabama Camping Option

Vestavia Troops 145 (Juniors) and 27 (Brownies) recently spent the weekend camping at Cathedral Caverns, north of Guntersville. We took 32 girls, parents and siblings and as you'll see from the video -- WE HAD A BLAST!

Some things to know about the location:

1. the Cavern is beautiful! It's got some of the largest formations in the world - quite impressive!

2. the campground is unimproved, meaning it's equipped only with fire circles and a porta potty. BUT, it's one of the cleanest porta potties I've ever seen (or smelled).

3. the campground is very affordable -- just $1/per person a night. They offer group rates into the Cavern too: $5/kid and $8/adult.

Feel free to email me (tanya_ott@yahoo.com) if you've got questions about the facilities, how we planned our food, or the educational activities we held for the girls (i.e. knot tying, star gazing, first aid, fire safety, hiking --- they earned several badges while there!).
