Airventure has a deal where Local EAA chapters can all camp together for the week. Those Chapters seem to get some (most) of the better camping spots at Camp Scholler.
This link explains how it works.
Well, my local chapter does not do too much camping that I know of. So I always go alone, have fun and meet other campers near my stake-out (which is never too good of a location.) But it might be a better if I camped near others who were building our aircraft, and if I had a better spot. I know other Bearhawk builders are there too, with no other connections. So, I emailed EAA's Dave Leiting, and asked him if it would be possible to allow a group camp to be organized and set up for "Bearhawk Builders" instead of a local chapter.
Dave didn't say no.....its not a firm yes either, but he likes and supports the idea. I will spare you of details, but He is going to check on it for us, and he told me to start organizing a group camp in hopes that we will have approval for this year.
So if there is anyone interested, please respond. I am going to guess we will be allowed up to 6 sites, $243/site. That means if you are not staying the whole week, possible one could share a whole week with another bearhawker.
We'll see what happens.
