Come and explore beautiful southern Indiana at O’Bannon Woods State Park (formerly Wyandotte Woods). Join us for a casual, relaxed weekend of outdoor activities: hiking (8-10 miles on moderate trails), road biking if you want to bring your bike (25 miles, average 10-12 miles an hour), explore the pioneer village and nature center, and relax around the campfire in the evenings with s’mores and singing.
Bring your musical instrument and voice to join in!
Participants will provide their own meals, snacks and beverages and pay their own park entrance fee of $7.00. Five wooded camp sites have been reserved, allowing for two tents or one tent and one trailer. Sites are full electric with water and are in close in proximity for easy social gathering.
Members will provide their own transportation.
We will meet at campsite #189 on Friday evening after you arrive and set up. If members want to carpool, we can connect you with others interested in the same.
Questions may be submitted to ciwcinfo@gmail.com.
All trip participants must fill out and submit a

Effective on all trips, there will be a $50 non refundable registration fee. This fee will be assessed to those who sign up for a trip, get on the roster and then later cancel. Even cancelling before the cancel date. Those who never make the active roster (i.e. those who stay on the waitlist) will NOT be charged the $50 cancellation fee.
