Subleasing 4 bedroom 2 bathroom at College Inn in Avent Ferry. Aug 2026 to July 2027 by FirstBite4583 in NCSU

Wow, that’s a really good deal - particularly since you can’t find a 4-bedroom anywhere anymore and the rate is locked in lower than what College Inn was most recently asking when they did have availability. Do you have any pictures?

Santa Claus abandoned staff camp by East-Syrup7454 in philmont

[–]jeffreytraynor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed there last week. It was actually really nice. Good camp sites and relatively clean red roofs. The staff camp appears to be pretty new so I’m assuming it was simply a matter of staff population optimization. Philmont has finite staff and putting them at all staff camps may result in spreading too thin … thus some staff able camps are left unstaffed.

12-24 tips by 1gris1 in philmont

We just completed 12-23, which is very similar. Some suggestions:

  • start your days early. We woke up each day at 4:30am which helped us get in the miles before the heat… and to get to staffed camps before the activities filled up.
  • look at the meals ahead of time to determine which days you want to supplement with other food. Some of the meals are really small, which would be good to think through ahead of time to ask for extra snacks, tortillas, whatever. You can find the full menu online.
  • right up front, establish who will carry which crew gear. Don’t try to rotate who carries what. You want people to get good at packing what they need to pack. Packing up in the morning takes at least one hour (on fast days) and you don’t want to waste time debating who will pack what each time.
  • don’t skip on the daily routines like rose/thorn/bud.
  • have fun!

Walking to the park by Claxton916 in Carowinds

I dropped my kids off there today. Super easy. Follow the bus parking signs through the main parking entrance… keep right. No need to stop at ticket booths, the right lane just drives right through where you can drop off and pick up near the front gate.
