I did this last year and LOVED it! If you cannot come for all 4 days, you can register for the days you can attend. Centered in Xenia, OH. Go a different direction each day. Kayaking and canoeing also an option! The people who ran this event were fantastic and VERY FRIENDLY. Very much a "family" event. Camp at the County Fairgrounds (included in the registration!) and there is a GREAT POOL there as well! Please get the word out about this event!
