As we prepared to leave Colter Bay, we made plans for the 2011 Family Reunion in the Washington, D.C. area in early to mid July. I did some research on accommodations. Near College Park and Greenbelt where my houses are, there are high end to middle class hotels and motels ranging from $70 to $180 per room per night. Our co-op in Greenbelt has a guest house (1 king bed, 1 fold away couch, & kitchen) for $55 per night. There is even a secret National Park in Greenbelt (called...wait for it... Greenbelt National Park) offering 174 campsites at $16 per night. We also have a limited number of friends and relatives willing to host a single or couple in their homes.
There are many venues that could host meetings, meals, and get-togethers. The National Archives annex at College Park, the Marriott Inn and Conference Center at University of Maryland University College, other nearby schools and churches, and the Greenbelt National Park campground to name a few.
For Recreation, there is a lot to see in Washington accessible from the Metro which stops in Greenbelt. There is an amusement/water park ( Six Flags ) about 15 miles away. Also, there is an indoor/outdoor pool at our Co-op in Greenbelt.

What happened to the 4 H camp? I was looking forward to the air conditioned room. I'm sure I can't afford a hotel room for more than $100/night! The park looks nice and $16/night is reasonable but will we swelter like crazy in July?
