What To Expect/Plan For
Since Camp Surf is closed for 2020 your Sunshine leadership wanted to deliver beach campaign of some type. Newport Dunes is a great location, it's very close compared to Imperial Beach and it offers variety as it's a new venue.
The best part (perhaps) - you can park for no more than 30 minutes to load/unload, it'svery close to the sand! General parking is about a 5 min walk from the beach.
This venue has a number of items we have access to and a good bit of it is included with your registration, some items will need to be rented as desired:
- inflatable water park
- paddle boards
- kayaks
- electric boats
It's probable that we'll have some beach games planned, so bring your game face!
They also have take home crafts, movies each night, fire pits on the beach, a marketplace, laundry facilities, a restaurant and much more.
Here is a map of the property

Food
This is a "cook your food" camp unless you choose to use the restaurant, drive to a nearby restaurant or have food delivered.
As such, as a circle, you should plan your meals accordingly.
We will, of course, have Midnight Meat on Saturday evening.
