Concours Carving the Cumberlands - SECOG Spring Rally [TN]

Concours Carving the Cumberlands - SECOG Spring Rally

The SE COG 2022 Spring rally will be held at Fall Creek Falls State Park in Spencer, TN from April 28 to May 1, 2022 (Thursday - Sunday). 

We have reserved Fall Creek Fall Piney Creek Camp (formerly known as Group Camp 2) at Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee, which will accommodate up to 150 people.  It has 24 cabins, a dining hall, a commercial kitchen, 3 bath houses, and a Rec center.  The theme is "Rustic" and was described by sage comrades in the past as "think Boy Scout Camp." 

Your registration fee will include a bed in a cabin, 3 dinners (Thursday, Friday & Saturday), and 3 breakfasts (Friday, Saturday & Sunday). There is no park entrance fee.  Lunch is on your own.  The Lodge restaurant is open 7 days a week for Lunch and Dinner only.  But you’ll want to share in our staff cooked meals!

On the main website scroll down to the Group Camps, we are using Group Camp #2 also known as Fall Creek Falls Piney Creek Camp.  Take that snapshot of bunkbeds to heart!  It’s 'indoors', but just a vinyl mattress on a steel plate.  Come prepared!  Twin fitted sheet plus sleeping bag and pillow will keep you comfy - ish.

Lodging

No camping in a tent or camper is allowed in the group camp area.  Your registration fee will include a bed in one of the 24 cabins in the camp, please click on the links provided to view the camp and cabins.  If you feel you must camp in a tent or trailer, the park does have a designated campground which you can camp at, but you will need to make your own arrangements. Also, the lodge is about a 1/2 mile away, so if you want to camp in a hotel room, you are free to do so as well, but on your own. 

General Notes for Rally Location

You will need to bring your own linens/sleeping bag, soap & towels.  We would suggest a twin fitted sheet for the mattress and then use your sleeping bag or just bring a blanket.  Again, check pictures in links above and on website to know what you might need to bring!  The cabins have electricity in them for a light and one two prong outlet. 

Rally Jobs

This rally will require that all attendees volunteer in some aspect of the rally, either cooking or cleaning.  We are responsible for the entire camp while we are there.  Work assignments will be handed out at check in at the rally and will be coordinated to have little impact on your riding time.  We will have ride routes and area attractions available.  The park itself has a golf course, boat rentals, bicycle rentals, fishing, pool, Canopy Challenge Course, and numerous hiking trails.

Health & Safety Announcement  
Each person will be responsible for monitoring their own health. If you feel sick, or if you've been in close contact with someone who has recently tested positive, please stay home.
