What happens when it rains?

We have ample indoor space to conduct our activities!

What bunking options will be available?

At registration, you and your camper will be able to choose between boys’ cabins and girls’ cabins, and you will also be able to express interest in the possibility of an any-gender cabin.

The boys’ and girls’ cabins may include any campers who identify as boys and girls, respectively, including trans campers and non-binary campers.

Depending on interest, we may be able to offer an any-gender cabin. It would be open to campers of any gender. Some examples of campers who may choose this option would be, non-binary campers, campers who would like to bunk with a friend who is non-binary, siblings or friends of different genders who would like to bunk together, campers who would prefer to bunk with campers of other genders, and campers who would feel most comfortable in this cabin for any reason.

Within the bunks, campers will be divided into rooms of either 4 or 6. Campers will be able to request one friend to bunk with at registration and we will do our best to place your camper in a bunk with that friend.

Will bunking be different from grouping for activities?

Yes! We will be sorting campers into groups differently than we will sort them into their bunks. We will do our best to group campers with their friend request.

What about bathrooms and showers?

Each bunk has a bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink, and there are additional restroom facilities and showers close to the bunks.
