State funding for arts and culture has been eliminated from the PA Senate’s budget bill. Loss of state funds would be crippling to the creative sector during these tough times. Show your support for arts and culture by writing your legislators today! Learn how you can help by visiting: http://capwiz.com/artsusa/pa/state/main/?state=PA

Ohiopyle State Park encompasses 19,052 acres of rugged natural beauty and serves as the gateway to the Laurel Mountains. Weather permitting, we’ll feature cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and the ever-popular snowcreature-making competition. There will even be an opportunity to relieve the winter stress with a chair massage. Kids will enjoy art activities with the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.

We’ll also feature the annual Camp Stove Cook-off, which allows you to show off your culinary skills by preparing your favorite dishes on an outdoor stove. Venture Outdoors staff will be on hand to judge entries and awards will be given for: best entrée, best appetizer, and best dessert.

This event is free and open to all Venture Outdoors Members and their friends and family.
Food will be provided (separate from the Cook-off) but please bring a potluck dish to share if you wish.

To participate in the Camp Stove Cook-off call the Venture Outdoors office by Wednesday, February 4 to reserve your spot as a chef or judge. Please specify the categories which you are competing in when you register.

Special thanks to Wilderness Voyageurs for providing the winter party site!

Join us for the first-ever Members’ Day AutumnFest at the newly-renovated Chapel Shelter in Riverview Park. Our friends at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts will be there with another great art activity all day long, and our friends from REI will be there to get the autumnal spirit going with marshmallow-toasting over a small campfire and a prize give-away.

As always, we’ll be offering up a number of great activities to enjoy in good company as well as the beautiful foliage of Riverview Park for your viewing pleasure. We’ll even bring along our fleet of Comfort Cruiser bicycles AND the Mountain Dreams climbing wall—a small prize awaits everyone who reaches the top! As in the past, we encourage you to bring a covered dish (entree, side or dessert) to share with your fellow members.

This event is FREE and open only to Venture Outdoors Members and their guests. Lunch will begin promptly at 12:00 PM, with scheduled activities beginning at 1:00 PM and concluding at 4:00 PM. Register today on our online activity calendar!
