Capital Beltway Camper’s Chapter:

More commonly known as “CBC” this small chapter of SMART with a lot of heart and spirit!  Headquartered in the Washington DC area we typically camp in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia within 100 miles of the Capital Beltway, hence our name, Capital Beltway Campers.  We are a diverse group with members from all branches of service. Typically we muster on the 2d weekend of the month from April through November winding up with a Christmas brunch at one of the base clubs in December.  We frequently utilize the FamCamps as well as civilian campgrounds in the area. At least twice a year we hold a fun filled auction to raise money to support Fisher House.  A typical muster starts with members arriving on Friday afternoon to coffee and soup provided by the host. It's a time to greet old friends and catch up on what's been happening in everybody's family since the last muster. Saturday morning usually brings a pancake breakfast followed by a day of games, site seeing, shopping and other fun things.  We try to gather late in the afternoon for some attitude adjustment and then a pot-luck dinner. Saturday evening will fund us all gathered around the camp fire swapping stories and there's always the exciting game of SYN.  Sunday morning awakens to the smell of fresh coffee, orange juice and sweet roles. Then it's time to break camp and head for home until the next time we meet. CBC is ideally located for the active duty and retired campers living in the DC area who wants to get away for a weekend of camping and outdoor activities, but don't care to travel long distances. We invite all SMART members in the DC area to come muster with us.  You don't have to be a member of CBC to try us out.  If you like us (and we know you will) we invite you to join our chapter.
