VOC Mountaineering Camp 2007
What is it?
It's an opportunity for VOCers of different abilities to get together and enjoy an area together. Although we will all camp in one spot, different groups will head out to different destinations during the day. The evenings will be filled with good food, good stories, and good laughter.
