Our Day Trip To Bowron Lake

This past Wednesday, August 12th, Jen, Faith, Nathan, Jim and I (Alison) all loaded into Jen’s mini-van for a day trip/picnic to Bowron Lake. It took us 3 hours from Prince George. The resort is 25 minutes past Barkerville. It is very secluded and private. The people who manage the resort were very friendly, ready to help us in any way possible.

There are unlimited camp sites both along the lake front and along the river in the camp-ground. They have sani dumps and water, but no electrical hook-ups. The campsites are huge, even big enough for Theresa’s 5th wheeler. We don’t need to put any deposits down until next year. We just need to keep in touch and let them know how many cabins/campsites we need.

We are looking into renting a huge tent for setting up for eating, and in case of rain.
We would like to now ask for everyone who plans on attending for their input. We are looking for activity ideas for both young and old, game ideas for young children and adults, and food ideas. We can rent canoes and kayaks at the resort. We will use the best and most affordable of everyone’s ideas.
We are also planning an afternoon/evening trip to Barkerville. We will post a link to Barkerville’s Website so everyone can see the many activities it offers. We are trying to get a discount on a group entry rate for the entire family. We will keep you posted.
As this is such a big undertaking, we would like to ask everyone to help out. Everyone should help in one meal preparation and one clean-up. This way no one person is burdened with doing everything.
We are very excited about being together for this Shaw Family Reunion long weekend and the opportunity for us all to build strong bonds of love with our entire family. We can make new memories to last a lifetime. We will be taking lots of pictures and making movies. Please put a priority on attending. We have given everyone over 14 months to arrange their schedules. If you can’t attend the entire reunion, come for whatever part you can.
Thanks so much for those who have already replied. Please email me at: ajknudsen5@gmail.com with any of your ideas, and input. This reunion is for us all, so don’t hesitate to share your ideas.
Stay tuned for our next update.
