***Before registering***
While considering your participation in CIWC trips, be aware that some trips will involve shared transportation, lodging, and other activities. Each participant is encouraged to evaluate your comfort level with such arrangements based on your health condition, vaccination status, and unknown COVID positivity rates at the time of the trip. Members are encouraged to review the COVID waiver as a part of this evaluation.
For all of you who love to hike AND enjoy group singing, this just might be the weekend for you. We will start the weekend by meeting at Bradford Woods, IU’s 2,500 acre Outdoor Center, located between Indianapolis and Bloomington, on a Friday evening and end on Sunday afternoon. Our accommodation will be a heated lodge for two nights, with kitchen and shower facilities and a great room with a fireplace. Rooms are shared with one or two twin/bunk beds for which you supply linens.
If you play a musical instrument, you are invited to bring it along. We will sing and jam together as much as we like. We will also be hiking, either on Bradford Woods property or Morgan Monroe State Forest, which is nearby. If you are not a hearty hiker, you can stay relaxing in the cabin and have hot chocolate ready when the hikers return. We will explore as many cemeteries as we have time for and will definitely visit the graves of the Bradford Brothers, Perry, John, and Albert who are buried nearby.
The trip fee includes lodging accommodation for two nights, dinner on Friday and Saturday, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, and trip incidentals. Transportation as well as lunches and snacks for the trail are participant’s responsibility.
