Getting a group ready for a camping trip

A camping trip for several families means booking a site, planning every meal and deciding who brings each piece of shared gear. Here the trip is one project: the bookings, a board of shared gear, lists for food and the night sky, the calendar and site photos.

The Meteor Shower at Coyote Bench project in Thicket over a photograph of a red rock desert at dusk with the first stars: the health flag reading At risk, the trip dates and eight people, then nine cards: the Message Board with the cloud forecast for peak night on top, The site as nine photographs of the desert campsite, Trip lists with three lists on the progress chart, the Shared gear board with cards in Need, Borrowing and Bringing, Chat about propane and the meteor watch, Camp kitchen as nine photographs of the menu's test runs, the Calendar with the gear check and peak night, Trip docs with the trip plan, the star charts and the tent plan, and Bookings with the park's rules for fires, firewood and lights, with three external links below.

The Rahimi, Castellanos and Brekke families plan their meteor shower trip on the Message Board, from the site booking to what to pack for cold nights. Photos of the site and of the menu's test runs sit in two Docs & Files grids beside the trip plan and the park's rules, each piece of shared gear moves from Need to Borrowing or Bringing on Boards, and three lists in To-dos cover the errands, the food and the night sky. The Calendar holds the gear check and peak night, and the families settle smaller questions in Chat, like who has the third propane bottle.
