Going from Highway 17 to Highway 1 can be very crowded sometimes (it can take up to 30 min at times ! ! ! ). If you would like to avoid this possible bottleneck, take the following detour.

Turn left on Soquel Ave.

Pass Branciforte
Pass Parkway
Road curves @
Stay on it

Turn right (to be on Soquel Ave. still which is the frontage street to the HWY) otherwise if you don't you'll go over the over pass of the HWY 1 and the road name changes to Soquel Drive not Soquel Avenue -you'll miss the on ramp to go South

If you do turn RT. on Soquel Ave. then quick left onto HWY 1 South on ramp and continue South to San Andreas Rd.

Please include the following information: IMPACT CAMPING CARPOOL
a. Do you have a ride?
b. Do you need a ride?
c. Would you like to drive?

The reason for this is that there is limited parking at the campsite, so we want to keep track of how many cars will be coming and help those who need rides to find them.

Impact Beach Camp! Sign Up Today! Sept 5-7

Sign Up to Camp with Impact at Manresa State Beach:

Impact is going CAMPING! That’s right - for this year’s trip we’ve reserved several sites at Manresa State Beach. Just south of Santa Cruz and Aptos along Highway 1, Manresa State Beach features a beautiful expanse of sea and sand, with surf fishing, surfing, and recreation.

We’ve booked the weekend of September 5 – 7, and have approximately 60 spots available. Cost for the weekend will be $45 and includes three meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. We’ll also be organizing several group activities and times of sharing around the campfire that you won’t want to miss.

Shower and bathroom facilities are available on the camping grounds. A detailed list on what to bring will be available when Impact resumes in August. For now, if you have a tent, camping stove or ice chest, or are willing to drive please email Pat at pat@ballooncreations.com. Each campsite has a limit of two cars so it will be essential to organize carpools.

To sign up and secure your spot click here or visit the MPPC website at http://www.mppc.org/, scroll down in the middle section to “Event Registration” and select “Impact Retreat 2008” from the choices. See you at the beach!
