We have hired a coach bus (with 48-seats) to drive us from the UBCO campus to Camp Hope and return. We will be meeting at 4:00pm on Friday in front of F Lot. Pack dinner or eat before had. We will have a fuel stop, but not a dinner stop.
The bus will be parked in the taxi cab parking on University Way. You can hangout in the UNC until you see the bus. We will depart at 4:30pm sharp. The cost is FREE because we received a grant from the OPCS (Okanagan Pentecostal Camp Society).
On Sunday, we will leave the camp by 11:30am, and stop for a lunch break in Merritt at TripleO's / Dairy Queen. We should arrive back at UBCO around 3:00pm.
