Arrival and Departure
Arrive as early as 1:00pm on Saturday.
Grab a program from the Reception Lodge. Feel free to explore the camp. If you’re staying overnight at the camp, you’ll find your cabin assignment at the Reception Lodge.
Feel free to park temporarily in the loading area while you unpack and find your cabin. Then, please move your car to the parking lot so others may use the loading area.
Please depart the camp by 12pm on Monday.
Avoid parking in the loading area too long so that others can use it to pack up.
Cleaning your cabin isn’t necessary, but make sure to take all your belongings. If you borrowed a sleeping bag and pillow, please return them at the Reception Lodge.
Don’t forget to say goodbye!
