IMPORTANT CAMP NOTES:  We will stay at our usual Woodlands location, Camp #1. Anyone who would like to bring a camper or RV instead of utilizing a cabin is welcome to do so.  (Please tell us if you would like to bring a camper or sleep in a vehicle instead of a cabin when you register for camp).  The cabins are rustic but have fireplaces and limited wood is available.  We suggest you bring a couple of presto logs if you plan to make a fire in your cabin, (much less smoke and much easier).  You can also bring fire starters which help greatly in getting fires started.  As we want to limit fire usage in the cabins this year, we encourage all campers to enjoy the group fires with your camping friends in the dining halls and dance hall after dinner and until you return to your cabin at bedtime.  If you would like an alcoholic beverage with your dinners on Friday or Saturday night, it is BYOB.  Also, please note that it is very important that every camper bring a flashlight to safely get back and forth to the cabins after dark.  A complete list of what to bring, and directions to the camp will be sent to registered attendees in October.
