Howdy yall,
We’re excited to invite you to Minifest 2025, a weekend of adventure, campfire dinners, crisp winter mornings, and the kind of good company that makes everything better. Whether you’re looking to take on a canyon, hike a ridge, or just enjoy some quiet time in nature, this weekend’s for yall.
Where: Bengalee Scout Campground
When: Friday 27th – Sunday 29th June, 2025
Itinerary Overview
Friday – Optional Early Arrival
Come up anytime Friday to settle in, set up your tent, and enjoy a chilled-out evening in the bush. There are no planned activities—just campfire chats, card games, or a quiet night under the stars.
Saturday – Trip Day + Club Dinner
Saturday morning, yall head out bright and early for your chosen day trip. When you return, we’ll gather for a big, delicious club-cooked dinner, followed by an evening of fun around the fire.
Sunday – Final Adventures + Departure
Everyone will pack up their gear before heading out on their Sunday trip. After your adventure, you’ll travel straight home—no one returns to the campground.
