    Post MN > Winter Camping Symposium> YMCA Camp Miller - Sturgeon Lake, MN > Oct 20-23, 2022



    What: There's usually a few of us hammock campers who attend this Annual Symposium so I'm just sharing the info here. We can also coordinate any carpooling here too.

    Google Sheet to know who is coming: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

    Date: October 20-23, 2022 (Some arrive on Thursday, many arrive on Friday)

    Website: https://www.wintercampingsymposium.com/ ...............

    Where: YMCA Camp Miller - 89382 E Frontage Rd, Sturgeon Lake, MN 55783 Winter Camping Symposium Location, Google Maps Link

    Tree availabilty: plenty of trees back in the pine grove

    Cost: Registration isn't out yet. (if I remember correctly, the registration fee for the symposium was around $30 for the weekend and $30 for the camping). Plus, you can purchase hot meals from the camp (or you can bring your own food)

    What it's like: There are a bunch of Youtube videos. Here's just one:

    Is there enough trees for us hammock campers?
    To only step where others have stepped means not to have your own adventures. Live, Love, and Adventure so you may leave your own foot prints!

    Woo-Hoo! It will be great to have some first-time attendees!

    The hammock campers are pretty easy to find. Just keep driving through camp until you reach the end where the Pine Grove is. There's a parking lot back there and a short hike in. Like 30-50 feet.
