We no longer allow campers to bring their own pocket knives. They will be provided if needed for classes.

*Only downpours keep us inside. Campers must be prepared for rain!!  Also, having some light wool or poly is much warmer than wet cotton.

**Sleeping bags are only for overnights. A bag that can be unzipped and used as a blanket can serve as a substitute for one blanket.
