Campers,
The official Camp Chopper Itinerary has been completed, confirmed and finalized. Please review the details below so you don't miss anything.
In the past the only dinner we needed a head count on was the Thursday night dinner. This year it's extremely important that you let me know how many in your group are attending ALL the dinners not just the welcome to Camp Chopper dinner. I will send that request the first week of January.

Notes:
The hotel is on 46 East just a few minutes from downtown. Paso Robles is a classic central coast town. The city has a large city park in the center of town. The restaurants, shops, bars etc. are all located downtown in this area.
To get downtown from the hotel you simply go west on 46. This road becomes 24th street. Turn left on Spring Street. Turn left on 12th street and you are at the city park and all of Paso Robles.
Each of you will be receiving a Paso Robles Wine Country map. The guide has an A-Z listing of all the area wineries and restaurants. It's a very handy guide and it will be given to you in your Camp Chopper welcome bag.
Food suggestions:
Breakfast downstairs for free. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuits and gravy and fruit plates. Juices and Coffee. Everything you can imagine. Free !
Robert's, Marv's Pizza, Basil Thai, Berry Hill Bistro, Good Ol Burgers, Señor Sanchos. Artisan and Il Cortile for the rich kids.
