What is the Wilds?

The Wilds is one of the largest and most innovative wildlife conservation centers in the world. Located on nearly 10,000 acres in southeast Ohio, it is home to rare and endangered species from around the world living in natural, open-range habitat, as well as home to hundreds of indigenous species. In addition to innovative, in-depth science and education programs, the Wilds offers guided experiences to the public.

Dates: Aug. 31, 2011 (Wednesday) through Sept. 5, 2011 (Monday).
Please note that this is Labor Day Weekend.
Nearest City: Cumberland, Ohio

The Itinerary

Wednesday
Noon – Arrival open, camp site preparation
Hiking, mountain biking, and photography opportunities prior to dinner
Potluck dinner & campfire. We will have a community dinner & deserts available as you arrive.

Thursday
Within an easy drive of the Wilds are many great natural and historical sites. An excursion aboard a private dinner cruise of the Lorena Sternwheeler in Zanesville is going to be planned for the evening.

Friday
An optional “Day of Service” to the Wilds is planned. Much like we did in 2009, we will participate in a service project to improve the Wilds facility. It is hoped that with a large attendance, a larger project can be taken on.
Others may choose to go visit the Longaberger factory and store. Tours and basket making activities are available. A potluck dinner and campfire will finish the evening.

Saturday
This will be the main day to enjoy a tour of the Wilds. You may choose from various options and price levels. In 2009, many Airstreamers elected to make the Sunset Safari dinner the highlight of the rally. The opportunities offered on this special tour as well as the buffet dinner
make this very worthwhile. Where else do you get to pet a rhino?

Sunday
Following breakfast, we will make some time to have an open house party. Those that wish may open up their trailer for viewing and maybe share a snack, drink, or surprise for the kids. Sunday’s dinner will be a special “Airforums” dinner. We are planning on something fun with some great
souvenirs!

Monday
Departure day!

Services
The Wilds does not offer camping ordinarily. We consider the opportunity to do so very special. At this time, we do not expect electrical service or pressurized water to be available. Please know that you will be camping within the 10,000 acres managed by the Wilds. You will quickly learn that this is not your normal campground! Please do not let this worry you. Our trailers are designed to work in this environment! Even if you have never experienced this type of camping before, we will have volunteers ready to assist you. Nice portable restrooms and potable water will be available.

Generators will be permitted for those in need and we encourage the sharing of power if possible and only using generators as needed to charge batteries or for medical reasons.

Cost
This is a “not-for-profit” rally! The budget for this event is designed to cover the expenses incurred. Therefore, the price is attractive.

Rally fee: $18 (per person)
Parking fee: $15 (per night)
Service Project (optional) $5
Sunset Safari and Dinner buffet (optional) $65
note - reservation for the sunset safari must be made by August 18th

It's not going to work out for us in 2011, really sad to not be there.
