Join the Houston Hash for the second annual Faaaallllllll Campout, during which the bravest of us will jump out of a perfectly good airplane. (Skydiving not required for campout or hash.)
The campout will take place Sept. 30-Oct. 2 at Skydive Spaceland, located about halfway between Houston and Galveston off of Highway 288 in gorgeous Rosharon, Texas.
This is a BARE BONES, BYOEverything campout. We will be camping on the property of Skydive Spaceland, which is a really big field. Mismanagement will provide showers and toilets and most likely a keg of beer for post-skydive festivities. Here’s a rough schedule:
- Friday Evening: Set up tents
- Friday Night: Socialize
- Saturday 8 a.m.: Jump out of an airplane
- Saturday Afternoon: Galveston Hash Run
- Saturday Evening: Slip-N-Slide? and other hash games
- Saturday Night: Flippy Cup and other debauchery
- Saturday Midnight: Starlight Run around the Lake
- Sunday Morning: R & R
- Sunday Afternoon: Regular H4 Run
Base price for skydiving via tandem jump is $219. If we get more than 20 people signed up it’ll be $169 each.
There are two steps to registering for the event.
FIRST: If you want to skydive, you must make your own reservations at Skydive Spaceland before Sept. 29.
- Hashers should call 1-800-SKYDIVE to reserve their spot with our group “Hash House Harriers”, on Saturday morning Oct 1, with group leader Christopher Holland. Leave your geek name for registration, we’ll get a discount!
- If Hashers deposit $50 over the phone this will be applied to their tandem jump cost of $169 (assuming we get 20 people)
- Sat morning group gathering for check-in/education is 8 am. MUST BE SOBER!
- Don’t register online. Last year some people did and weren’t included in the group discount. Call In! We need 20+ in the group for us to each have the $169 rate.
- Dress for the weather. don’t wear flip flops on the jump.
SECOND: If you want to camp, price for the campout will be $10. Registration forms for this portion will be available shortly. This cost includes the Saturday run and Sunday run but does not include food or anything else. Remember, this is a BARE BONES campout and your $10 goes towards the toilets, showers and having a place to camp, plus your rego for the Galveston hash on Saturday.
NOTE: You can skydive without camping OR camp without skydiving. But you really should skydive. Because it’s badass.
Here is the H4 2011 Spring Campout Reg Form. Print it out, fill it out and deliver with $10 to hash cash. You can also make out a check to Monique Cheney or Tiffany McElweenie.
You can also register via Paypal.
