Thursday is a day of set-up and preparation for the gathering. If you are driving a distance and need to arrive on Thursday to be able to participate on Friday, you can register from 6-9 pm and set up your camp.  Please sign up on the registration form if you plan to come early--there is a charge for Thursday night camping.  We will have a potluck dinner Thursday night.
