Campout & Snorkeling at Bahia Honda S.P. in the Keys (Adults Only)
When: Friday, May 14 - Sunday May 16.  Meet there any time after 3 pm.
What:  Sun, Fun, and Adventure await you as we travel to the Keys and Bahia Honda State Park – described as having the Best Beach in the Continental U.S.!  This southern most state park is unique for its beach dune and mangrove landscape nestled in between the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.  A fun weekend is planned for you to enjoy water sports, beautiful beach setting, and the usual Mosaic camping fun.  Highlight of the weekend will be a snorkeling trip to Looe Key, which is one of the most spectacular living reefs in the Florida Keys. Start the weekend on Friday evening with our Shabbat Dinner to be served about 7:30 p.m.  On Saturday, after a leisurely breakfast you are free to go kayaking (requires extra fee), swimming, or sunbathe on the park's beautiful beachfront.  There's also the possibility of a Park Ranger guided hike.  After a light lunch, we head out to Looe Key for an afternoon of snorkeling.  Then back to camp for a hearty dinner.  On Sunday, after we pack up, those who wish to explore more of the area will travel to the nearby Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge to view the elusive and endangered miniature Key Deer before heading home.  This is one weekend you won't soon forget!

IMPORTANT:  This event is for Adults Only.  All participants must be 18 years or older.  This event has extremely limited availability due to the number of campsites we were able to reserve.  Single-person tent camping is NOT encouraged.  Find a buddy to share a tent as we have an absolute maximum space for only twelve tents.  The entire event is limited to 30 people maximum.
Where:  We'll be camping on sites 49-54 of Bahia Honda State Park (http://www.floridastateparks.org/bahiahonda/default.cfm), 36850 Overseas Highway, Big Pine Key, Florida 33043.  Phone: (305) 872-2353. 
Directions: Bahia Honda State Park is located just south of Marathon at Mile Marker #37 on US 1.  Start out by finding your best means to the Florida Turnpike Extension towards Homestead and go south to the end at Florida City.  From there, you will follow US 1 south and watch for green and white mile marker signs until marker #37.  Enter the park and register with the Park Ranger Station using your own name.  You will be assigned a specific tent site in advance and informed of this prior to the trip.  Total traveling time is approximately 3.5 hours.
Carpooling: Contact the trip leader who will help in arranging carpools.
Cost for Camping:  Mosaic Members pay $38 per person, plus $44 per tent for the weekend.  Example:  Two people sharing a tent will pay $60 each.  The tent fee ($44) is divided up between all persons in the tent plus the $38 per person event fee.  Non-members add $5.  Your event fee of $38 includes all meals from Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast and all other outstanding costs (use of Mosaic camping and cooking equipment, cutlery, etc.)
Cost for Snorkeling:  Snorkeling costs an additional $30 per person and is paid directly to the outfitter on the day of the event so bring this extra money with you. If at least 15 people sign up for snorkeling, we will receive a group discount of $6 each for a cost of $24 per person.
