I originally found your blog doing a Google search on a book and large families. <br />We recently moved to Texas and are researching attending Big Sandy this next year. We had friends who attended Sacramento conference and have really appreciated the conference. <br />In my research, I am curious how families with young ones handle the week. We will have a 10-month old and 2-year old as our youngest of 6. It seems the other ages we have can sign up for a program. <br />We don't have a camper, and would prefer to camp versus the cost of the dorm. <br />But, I would also like to prepare our own food to save money. <br />Anyhow, sorry to bombard you with so many questions!<br />Have a merry and blessed Christmas!<br />I have really enjoyed reading about your family. <br />Annie Holt Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168852427262192579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253931458272146564.post-3710559590359489792014-05-22T11:14:56.911-07:002014-05-22T11:14:56.911-07:00Hello, Thank you!

The ATI conference center does have it's own huge RV and tent campground with electric and water hookups, sewer dump station and bathroom facilities. The conference center and children activity drop off areas are all a short walk away from our campsite. Here is a link to campground information: http://www.alertacademy.com/iaa/campsandconferences/housingfaq/<br /><br />We do have our own RV and the drive is half the fun! We also set up a large tent and on nice nights the kids usually want to sleep in the tent. There was a family across from us this year that drove there in their vehicle and rented a camper. The camper rental place in TX came, set it up and came back to pack it all up. There are dorm rentals available on site as well but they do cost a little more. The best part about staying at the campground is the constant fellowship! It is safe and the kids are off on bikes and at the huge playground and obstacle courses with the friends they miss all year. <br /><br />There are grocery stores and a walmart close by if you have a car and leave the campus. They also have a meal plan program that you can pay a bulk price for breakfast, lunch and dinner to be provided at the cafeteria. The food is good and plentiful! We personally spend the week before preparing frozen crock pot meals so that on the road and at the campsite I can just pop a frozen bag into the crock pot and not worry about cooking on vacation! Here is the map of where the campground and conference center is: https://www.google.com/maps/preview?q=One+Academy+Blvd.+Big+Sandy,+Texas+75755&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x8649df9ba728e877:0x4eebbbdf53a9788,Academy+Blvd,+Big+Sandy,+TX+75755&gl=us&ei=Mz5-U9uJEYiyyASpgIGQCw&ved=0CCoQ8gEwAA (google has a feature that you can click "search nearby" and put in grocery stores to know what is available nearby).<br /><br />Hope that helped and hope to meet you next year!<br />Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018706203209534977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253931458272146564.post-73485657304350826152014-04-29T19:56:01.879-07:002014-04-29T19:56:01.879-07:00Hi.

We will be flying in from Vermont and we were wondering how we go about camping? Is it a camp ground that you all are at? If it is do they rent campers? If not is there a place to rent campers? Are there places close by to get groceries.? Any info or tips you may have would be greatly appreciated .
