Highpointers 2009 Convention Registration Form

We have great plans for this year’s Convention at High Point State Park in New Jersey on July 30th to August 1st.

Since the Woodstock Music Festival nearby is celebrating its 40th anniversary in August we hope our event will be very groovy.  We do want to take you higher!

Our “Kosmic Convention” includes climbing the Gunks, a cookout at the world famous Urbanski farm, an excellent New York City adventure where he hope to show off our threads on the “Today Show”,  a tubing adventure down the Delaware River in the Delaware Gap National Recreation Area to visit the tripoint marker of New York/Pennsylvania/New Jersey.  We will have seminars on climbing and safety.
