Dusty Beavers is recruiting!

Post by delle » Sat Jul 25, 2015 5:36 am

Looking for a camp for BM2015? I just found out that my buddies at The Dusty Beavers have a few openings left.

With a great location (6:15 & D), the Dusty Beavers is the sister camp to Midnight Poutine. They have their own offering though: Three nights during the week they’ll be offering up Maple taffee on snow. (Yes, you heard right: on SNOW).

Back for their 3rd official year, the core group is from Canada (Quebec), France and the US, and the language of comfort in the camp tends to be French, so that should be taken into consideration before applying. We certainly don’t want any “Oh Mon Dieu – What have I got myself into ICI” moments!

Yep, they have amenities: potable water, grey water removal, a shared kitchen and showers.

Yep, they have some communal meals (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday), for those who participate in the plan. It’s not mandatory though.

Affordable? Hell yes. Totally.

But best of all, they’re just a really great group of people who work fabulously well together to have the most amazing experience they can during their scant time in the desert.

If you think you might be a good fit, check them out on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheDustyBeavers
(click like to see updates on your timeline)

The online application can be found/submitted there as well. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Tl2Uuw ... A/viewform

(Yep. On SNOW. Who’d have ever figured...)

Dusty Beavers! What’s not to love.

She had blue skin, And so did he.
He kept it hid And so did she.
They searched for blue Their whole life through,
Then passed right by- And never knew.”

This sounds awesome. Totally hope you find some good fits (just admiring your camp plans, I totally hope to pop by and meet ya)

Le sirop d'érable sur la neige est un très bon souvenir de mon enfance . Je ne l'ai pas fait depuis que je suis probablement 8 sur un voyage à une érablière à l'est d'Ottawa (je pense Gatineau - sur le pont )

Et à côté de Midnight Poutine ?!

oh smokes man, you're gonna have all the Canucks feeling like they're Home.
I'll bring the maple whisky and ginger ale!

hyper magnifique! Ouf!

Sortilège? We love us some Sortilège out there.

I've never considered trying it with ginger ale though. This morning that changes. Do you think 9:am is too early to give it a try? :wink:

9am! On a Saturday?! Man this is training for the desert! I'm shocked it didn't start an hour ago! (JK!...maybe)

I'll have to grab a bottle and give that a try. Sortilège on my list for tonight.

(just realized my plan is foiled as I have no gingerale. DRAT.)

Kk so I bought a bottle of Sortilège Saturday night.

It's now empty....

I'm officially screwed and converted.

I am definitely bringing bottles to the playa.

It looks like the Dusty Beavers will be in our 'hood at 6:15/D, so that's another thing going for them.

HI NEIGHBORS!!
