Mark your calendar now! Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - June 1, 2, and 3, 2018 at Camp West Mar.

Big change to Camp West Mar is all-new furniture in the bunkhouses. For the first time, we will let pre-registrants reserve their bunk for either one or two nights.

More information to follow...

Thank You, I passed it to the boss and I got two thumbs up. Craft Beer, guided rides and big trees for shade and a Tech Day on site. Cheers.

Hey Team BMWBMW:

What’s the situation regarding cell-reception and internet access?

Andy Dooley brought his own portable Hot Spot device thingy, and that worked like a champ for Karen to swipe peoples' handy banking cards for onsite registration, sales of beer tokens, tee-shirts, and other mundane requirements [using the club's 'Square' device on her personal tablet]. Thing is, I’m thinking of toting my new Apple HomePod so that we can have some background Musac {maybe in the pavilion}.... BUT it must connect to my iTunes acct via an Internet Bluetooth connection...

What’s the latest regarding music: a DJ, or a band, or an iPod, or some other “boombox” besides my HomePod?
:wink:

Please advise, Us Agers

Last year I had pretty good access to my cell phone, and saw some using internet connections for sales, so I expect it can be good depending on your carrier.

The camp should have wi-fi but it might be a modest extra cost per day. Last year it was on a beta test and I think they asked for $3.50 per day. I will reach out to the YMCA and ask for Wi-fi details.

The Pavilion has been upgraded with a decent sound/PA system. We used it last year for music, I have some playlists loaded on my playlist but can always use more.

I checked it today. T-Mobile has no reception but Verizon has a decent signal.

Wi-Fi is available from Camp West-Mar but it is paid access. $2.95 buys 12 hours worth of connection.

Phil, we will cover the cost for your music setup. Thanks for volunteering to be the DJ.

OK, It's worth giving it a try, then! I'll tote it up there on Thursday. 8)

I have a good variety of tunes: :wink: Both good ole' Rock&Roll & new+old Country! :lol:

And Don't Forget our Best Favorite: 'I've Been Everywhere' by Johnny Cash . =D>

Also, appropriately for campers: 'TICKS' by Brad Paisley! #-o
