In case you’re not familiar with Camp Long, we requested details on where in the park the screening will occur. Here’s how Camp Long’s Matt Kostle discusses it:

If folks are unfamiliar with the park, when you park in the parking lot, you can either stroll down to the south end of the car park and turn left by the shed there and follow the maintenance roadway that leads straight down to the south end of the field. If you park in the lot and walk down the main stairs situated near the Lodge, you will end up at the North end of the field and will have to stroll across the field to the seeing location.
