Cabin Camping at CAB
Camping in late fall or early spring. The only difference is the water is not on in camp and there are no platform tents available.
Resources for Cabin Camping
Arrive Friday evening after dinner (7 pm) and we will cook a dessert over the fire or on a reflector oven. Sleep in the cabin and keep the fire going all night. Saturday morning we will cook a breakfast and do kapers.
The rest of the time, your experienced Outdoor Trainers will help you with as many hands on skills as we can fit in.
Late Fall and early Spring are great times to go camping. The summer bugs aren’t out and you can have a warming fire in the fireplace.
Camp Addisone Boyce has rustic cabins that can be used in every season including late fall, early spring, and even winter. The water is off in camp from Oct. 15-April 15th and the platform tents aren’t up. Some seasoned CAB leaders actually prefer cabin camping.
