Where?

  • South African Potjie In Texas will be held at a new venue – CAMP SHILOH LUTHERAN RETREAT, 3335 FM 21 — PITTSBURG, TX 75686.
  • Why the venue change?
    • we have had numerous requests to alternate the venue;
    • more cabins are available and in addition there are two dormitories for larger families and for those that just need a bed inside, this is an option as well;
    • more common facilities are available like:
      • dedicated commercial kitchen and dining hall;
      • separate hall for evening events – do I hear sokkie;
      • and an outdoor pavilion.
