Camp F3tch 2025

Welcome dads and kids to our 12th Annual Camp f3TCh, June 13th -15th , 2025!

We hope you are as excited about attending as we are about having you! Camp address is 106 Sinking Springs Road, Clinton TN.  As you turn onto Old Sinking Springs RD and head down the hill towards the boat launch, look to your left and you will not miss camp.   You may arrive at any time on Friday June 13 th , but food services do not begin until 6:30pm.  There will be plenty of firewood, lighting, porta johns, and gear to support cooking and services of camp.   Below is a list of both required and suggested gear and equipment to attend camp.  Should you not have access to any of these, please let us know and we will do our best to assist. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Camp registration is limited, and we ask if you must cancel- please do so no less than 2 weeks prior to camp so that we can properly plan and adjust.

• Required: tent (we do have a few to loan), bedding, sunscreen, personal hygiene items, flashlight (there will be Tiki Torches and lights placed around camp), and extra clothing. While we provide a canoe, paddles, and approved life vest- we do ask if you have access to any of these items that you bring them. Suggested: Rain gear (Make sure you pack it on canoe trip, or at least a tarp to cover self and kids should a storm pop up), fishing equipment, fishing license, bug repellent, small cooler for picnic lunch on river, a light jacket or fleece, water shoes, and camera (phone)

• Note: Despite warmer temperatures, the riverbanks are much colder at night (average of 10-15 degrees colder). So do consider bedding that will keep you and your children warm in 50-degree weather.

 RULES of Camp:

• Keep Camp Clean at all times and ensure all trash (no matter how small) is properly disposed.

• Given this is a family friendly event we ask that everyone please refrain from any vulgar language and behavior.

• Absolutely no alcohol or drugs allowed at camp.

• All cars must be parked at the upper end of the property or at the TWRA parking lot. DO NOT PARK BY RIVER!

• CCW holders must remain holstered and always concealed.

• Please watch after your children very closely.  The river rises and falls throughout day/night and moves swiftly.

• Remember fathers are always 100% responsible for the safety of themselves and their children!

• While in the canoe, children MUST always wear their life vests and we strongly suggest Dad does too! Suggest children 10 and under (or those that can’t swim) wear their life vests if they are playing in or near the river.

• There is plenty of room for the kids to run and play but ask that they do not run or play near tents or any other equipment supporting camp services, especially the camp kitchen and campfire.

• There are farm animals that live at Camp f3TCh including two very docile bulls that have never caused any issues.  They stay away from camp areas but do rely on the river for a water source and may come down to eat and check things out so make sure to keep all food properly secured.  Mild wrangling may be required, but please administer it with kindness.  There are plenty of seasoned Campers that know how to handle them.
