Hello OSTC Club members!
Our big Lake Louisa Event is next week in Clermont, FL! Everyone, including your friends, are invited to attend the activities at the Lake Louisa Cabin Party Weekend Oct 14-16th. Come out for the day and join the group activities (as it’s a Florida State Park), even if you’re not reserved to stay overnight in one of the sold-out cabins. Plan to bring your bicycle and or kayak with you.
Below is the itinerary for Lake Louisa Weekend – *Keep in mind that if you arrive at the State Park entrance after 6pm you will need to know the gate code in order to get in (contact/ask Amy or someone staying in the cabins to provide it to you ahead of time).
If you’re with me still reading this then here is your opportunity to join the Cabin staying group of 68 Orlando Ski and Travel Club members if you’re not already confirmed within the first 64. I was able to grab the last cabin that became available after the hurricane blew through (we now have ALL 17 for a private weekend) so the first 4 people to go onto our club’s website
