E is for EPIC

The Epic Summer Film Festival is a night of outdoor adventure movies, outdoors. Donations received support the kids at Camp Hobe, an extraordinary summer camp experience for kids facing cancer. We provided a dutch oven dinner for the staff of Camp Hobe and organizers of the festival. I was in charge of the cobblers. One turned out and the other was slop. I am not a dutch chef...still working on that one.
 
The films were most excellent and one would say most EPIC!
  Thanks to all those who support this event and especially Camp Hobe. It is never too late to donate.
 
What is the Epic Summer Film Festival?
Epic Summer is an outdoor film festival held at the end of each summer in September. This up and coming festival celebrates the exhilaration, inspiration and entertainment of adventure and humanitarian service through cinematic creation.

What types of films are featured?
Films shown at the festival are more or less of one of two types: Outdoor Adventure Documentaries and Humanitarian Service Films. Thus far, films have included canyoneering (Euro Style), mountain biking in Bolivia, backpacking in the Wind Rivers, interpretive cliff diving, barehanded fishing, repelling over Calf Creek Falls, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and distributing medical supplies in Kenya.

Raising money for Camp Hobe:
There is no admission charged at the film festival but donations to Camp Hobe are strongly encouraged. Camp Hobe is a 501c3 (tax deductible) organization that provides an adventurous summer camp experience for local kids that either have cancer or who have siblings that have cancer. Their website is: http://www.camphobekids.org
