Save the Date: June 12-14 for Assateague State Park Camping Trip

The CCW Midsingles are planning a beach camping trip at Assateague Island at Assateague State Park where we have reserved a number of camp sites. Assateague State Park is Maryland's only ocean park. It is located on Assateague Island, a barrier island bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by Sinepuxent Bay. Two miles of ocean beaches offer swimming, beachcombing, sunbathing, surfing and fishing. The island's bayside offers visitors the chance to explore secluded coves by canoe or kayak. The marsh areas have a variety of wildlife, including deer, waterfowl and feral horses.

When: June 12-14 (plan to arrive Friday afternoon/evening and plan to return early Sun morning so that we can be back in time for church)
Why: Because camping on the beach is awesome and is even more fun with friends
Where: Assateague State Park in Maryland
