Campground Overview:
The Concrete/Grandy Creek Campground is a hidden gem among campgrounds! There are activities available at the campground including a swimming pool, hot tub, mini golf, hiking, wagon rides and a creek to play in, fire pits, and a pavilion. For children 14 and under, there is a jump pillow and playground. There are showers and flushing toilets. It is a DOG FRIENDLY campground, An off-leash enclosed play area is available for dogs.
Enjoy the activities the surrounding lakes and parks offer, including hiking, swimming, fishing, photography, etc. Retreat to a comfortable and yurt or cabin for the evening, or camp in your own tent or RV (or rented RV). You could also opt to stay off-site and join the FRUA campers during the day. For more information on the tent and RV sites at the campground, click here.
Camp Format:
The idea behind this camp is to provide an extended event for families to get-to-know other families with similar origins as their own. Kids, teens and young adults get time with each other. Parents get time with other parents, too.
This will be a "BYO" do-it-yourself camp. Camping families will bring their own snacks and bedding. There is a loose schedule and all activities are optional. There will be plenty of time for swimming, hiking, fishing, playing Frisbee & games, lake activities and kicking back in our camp chairs watching the fun and chatting. There are also age-group-specific activities. We will ask for campers to volunteer to organize some events. If you have an idea for activity that you would like to lead, let us know.
Camp Food Traditions: We will have our traditional stone soup, Kazakh donuts, blini and other yummy ethnic foods.
Other Nearby Activities: The camp schedule is being planned now. There are many nearby activities that we are looking at. This could include horseback riding, lake activities, hiking, star gazing, heritage museum, Saturday Market, swap meet, and MY FAVORITE, nearby parks including these.:
