🫢🏿🫢🏾🫢🏽 Community, friendship and support: Instant 'playdate' for your kiddos! We usually have kids from toddlers up to tweens join, with all of the kids playing together! You might see old MMH friends + hopefully make some new ones, too! MMH offers all kinds of support: Need help setting up your tent? Solo parenting on the adventure and need some extra support? We got you!

This is our idea of SUMMER CAMP for kids, but it's for families and we get to explore different campgrounds and parks! You will make wonderful memories with your family and friends πŸ•οΈβ€οΈπŸ«‚πŸ€²πŸ½!!

NOTE: The campsite is on a hillside. Campers will have to walk about 0.25 miles from the parking lot up a bumpy, gravelly road with their gear. A wagon is recommended; Miranda can share hers. Otherwise, you can walk up the hillside through the trees (not gravelly) to the campsite but using a wagon would be very challenging.
