From Your Favorite Crew at Yogi Bear in Robert, LA

I am so excited spring time is finally here! The pollen has seemed to disappear already and the flowers are blooming. Yogi Bear was even lucky enough to find a big bush of azaleas to pick for Cindy Bear!

Last weekend was Cindy Bear’s Birthday Surprise Party, and WOW!
She was really surprised! We did a great job at staying quiet when she walked in with her blindfolds on, she never had any idea!

Cindy’s Birthday Weekend was a blast. We had cake and ice cream, sang to Cindy Bear… Karaoke was my FAVORITE PART of the entire weekend. Rangerette Jessica did a great job at breaking the ice, and then we all sang until we closed at 10PM! We even sang Sunday morning too because we weren’t done yet. It was too much fun.

This upcoming weekend my crew and I have set a goal to have twice as much fun as we did last weekend. We need YOUR help to do it!

A little bit on what you MIGHT miss out on,

Halloween Weekend, next to Witching Weekend, is one of the best all time weekends on our Yogi Calendar that everyone wants to come, do and see!!  The haunted experiences you will enjoy here triggers many fond memories for any families that have visited over the past  37 years here at Jellystone Park in Robert, LA.

Click the image to see pictures from last year’s Halloween celebration!

Fall is such a great time here in South Louisiana and allows us to really show “How we Pass a Good Time!”.  Many people love this season and  magazines, social media websites, online blogs and tv shows are showing pumpkin carving, pumpkin recipes, camping trips and campfires and all the things we all enjoy about fall.

This time of year here in South Louisiana, it is usually just about PERFECT!!  Warm enough during the day to sometimes swim and cool enough at night to snuggle up by a fire and smell all the good food people are cooking throughout the campground.  AND OF COURSE, S’MORES!!!!  After all we are known for our really good food here at Yogi Bear in Robert, LA!!!

Our great Rec Staff have lots of things in store for you that you will have to go home on Sunday just to take a nap.  Will you be able to keep up with them!!  As always, we will have most of our great Recreation Activities.

At 9:30 am, your children will love walking one of the Bears from the cave to the front flagpole for the Good Morning Flag Raising Ceremony.  The Bear will then walk back home and you can hop on the wagon for a great “Hey”Ride throughout the campground.  You can watch everyone build their haunted houses as you wave and say “Hey” in passing.

You will get to visit during the day with one of the bears, enjoy doing arts and crafts at the Rec Center, and playing so many fun games!  Enjoy everything from Yogi Bear Cartoons to kickball this weekend at Jellystone!  You and your family will have a great weekend packed with sports, bonfires, and activities for all ages.

We save the best for Saturday Evening for TRICK OR TREATING!!!   This is your family time to walk or pull your children’s wagon along to visit every campsite and load up on all the loot available throughout the Park.  We believe the adults will have more fun sometimes than the kiddies all while they are eating the kid’s candy!!  YOU KNOW YOU DID IT!!!

For those that just want to feel the groove, we will have Dr. Ted’s DJ getting everyone in the mood for the Monster Mash and so much more. Then at 9pm many great staff members and volunteers will dress up and escort you through the VERY HAUNTED HOUSE!!  You won’t want to miss this.  Don’t forget to buy your tickets ahead of time!!!

Please remember that the Park roads will close in the camping areas. The road will remain closed during the scary trick or treating and haunted  house hours.  There will be no vehicles, golf carts or bicycles able to move throughout the Park for the safety of the children.  And don’t forget,  BRING YOUR TRICK OR TREAT CANDY, COSTUMES AND OF COURSE, CAMERAS!!  There will be a lot of ghosts and goblins that are ready for their sugar fix.

Check your Recreation Schedule when arriving for all times for each activity.

From Your Favorite Crew at Yogi Bear in Robert, LA

Make your 2013 reservations for Witching Weekend now so you won’t miss next year.

Over ten years ago, when people just could not get a reservation for Witching or Halloween Weekends they asked us, “Why don’t you do another Halloween Weekend?”  Well, if it makes sense for the customers then we aim to please.  So we launched Warlock Weekend and Pumpkin Patch so we can have a whole month long celebration.

It is one of the favorite times of the year!!  Already magazines, social media websites, online blogs and tv shows are showing pumpkin carving, pumpkin recipes, camping trips and campfires and all the things we all enjoy about fall.

This weekend was developed especially for you!!  If you are like me and others and don’t make a reservation for Halloween ahead of time, come on over for Warlock Weekend.  All the fun of our other scary weekends and the only thing missing is you and the family.
