WHAT TO BRING: Warm Clothing for all weather; sleeping bag and pillow or sheets and blanket; towel, soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairdryers, flashlight, board games, snacks for your rooms, projects you are working on (knitting, crafts, etc.), an umbrella (there is a walk between rooms to meeting sight)….If you plan to go horseback riding, bring long jeans and sturdy shoes.

WHAT ARE THE ROOMS LIKE? The rooms consist of bunk beds and some have 1 queen bed along with the bunks. Some rooms sleep 5 or 6, and some rooms sleep 10. There are a few rooms that open up to adjoining rooms. There are a few handicap accessible rooms. Note special needs on registration.

CAN I ROOM WITH A FRIEND? Just put your roommate selection in the comments box at the bottom of the registration forms. We will do our best to accommodate requests. Please keep in mind that the rooms sleep 5-11 people and we may need to fill them to capacity.

WILL THERE BE FREE TIME? Yes, there will be time Saturday to sit and visit with friends, hike, horseback ride, play games, knit or work on a project, and/or find some time for solitude.

WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW ANYONE? Come anyway. We will have our meals together and there will be scheduled activities at all times so you will have every opportunity to get connected with others.

WHAT IS THIS CAMP LIKE? It’s a beautiful, pristine campground. Check out Cascades Camp for pictures of the accommodations, what to bring, what is there to do, etc.

I WANT TO CARPOOL. Mark it on your registrations under special needs. We will be meeting at Bethany at 4:30pm on Friday.
