Hey all,
I'm going to my first overnight star party in WV (The Almost Heaven Star Party,
) at the end of the summer.
Luna (age 9) also indicated that she wants to go on the adventure, and I had to play it cool and not act too excited (I'm thrilled she's coming along).
Beyond the basics of a tent, tarps, and warm clothes, do you all have any tips or things you wish you had thought of when going to a camp over star party??
Cross posting to the SAS board, so apologies to the dual members in advance.
