Hi everybody! We have set up this go fund me in an attempt to alleviate a million stressful Venmo transfers and cash handouts that could be happening over the course of our Camping Bachelor/ette Weekend.

Essentially this is one big pot of money so that you can contribute what you can and allow us all to have a stress-free weekend.

So, here's the breakdown:

The total price for the weekend comes out to about $1600. That is:

Groceries and Luncheon are estimates but yes, it's as expensive to feed 12 people for 7 meals of home cooking as it is to feed 12 people for one meal out on the town (and give a reasonable tip).

Since Friday activities in Lake George are roughly $950, we ask that if you are attending those activities your minimum contribution is $100.

As for everything else, it's way too much to ask to do the math and split up per person based on how many meals we're feeding or how many nights you are staying since not everyone will be there for the same amount of time. If we were to split it up just on number of attendees (15 of us including Sam and I) it would be a little over $100 per person, but it hardly seems fair to have people pay for ziplining if they don't get to participate. So just contribute what you are comfortable with and we're good to go!

Additionally, if you haven't picked out a wedding gift, please feel free to just add additional money to your contribution here in lieu of something more traditional. We want everyone to be able to participate in this fun weekend full of our loved ones, so if your contribution helps us buy more food, play more games, rent kayaks, or whatever it may be, than that is an incredible gift.

Lastly, since this is an easy place to update you on the weekend plans, here's the rough layout of meals and activities.

Meals will be provided Thursday Night, Friday Morning and Evening, and all three meals on Saturday. Additionally we are buying some snacks, bringing seltzer and some bottled water (gallons, but they do have potable water on site), and potentially going out to a diner on Sunday morning with anyone that is interested (not included in this cost, but if we go over the goal we will likely cover it). Sunday breakfast may also be any leftovers from the rest of the weekend. The meals include (and are subject to change): Pancakes; Eggs; Sausage/Potato/Onion/Pepper Skillet; Grilled Chicken and Vegetables; Hamburguesas con Queso (o sin queso, no soy tu madre); Chicken Burritos; Smores (not a meal, but also, smores). I'll be prepping everything ahead of time. If you have dietary restrictions and are concerned about any of these meals, either feel free to bring something specific for yourself or reach out to me, Scott!

That's about it, can't wait to see all of you beautiful people, play some games, enjoy some camping activities, and eat some good food.

Captain Planet says: "If you dare to bring single use plastic water containers we will stand around you in a circle and chant shame. This is highly discouraged." Scott says: "There's potable water on site."
