What should my camper bring?

•  BIBLE
•  Sleeping bag (you can also bring sheets for a twin, but we highly recommend sleeping for campouts!) 
  • For retreats, twin sheets and a blanket are perfectly fine, but a sleeping bag works too
• Pillow (extra blanket if you want)
• Towel, Washcloth, Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash
•  Toothbrush, toothpaste
• Hairbrush
• SUNSCREEN (because we are at a higher elevation, we are closer to the sun, and even though it is cooler, the sun is intense)
•  Appropriate summer clothes ( NO spaghetti straps, crop tops, booty shorts, baggy pants, bring a light jacket and pants for nights. Bring clothes you don’t mind if they get dirty or accidentally ruined.)
• Closed-toed shoes, sandals only for the shower.
• Water shoes for the lake (we recommend shoes with a back)
• Swimsuit
  • For girls, a one-piece or most two-piece (full coverage)
  • For boys, boxer-style swim trunks
•  A bag for dirty clothes/wet towels/swimsuits
•  WATER BOTTLE!! (Dehydration is common here because of our lower humidity)
• Chapstick
• Flashlight
• Medications (these will be turned into the camp nurse and be distributed at the appropriate time)
• Money for the canteen ($25 is usually enough)
• Do not bring cell phones, tablets, laptops, headphones or any other electrical devices. There is no service anyway 🙂
• No extra food/drink unless needed for medical reasons (which will then be stored in the camp’s kitchen and given when necessary)
• No weapons of any kind, including pocket knives

DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO CAMP

When driving to Camp, if using GPS, or online map service, we recommend getting directions to Thumb Butte park, and then from there to camp.  This will ensure you are not given directions to camp using the back road, which is less passable. Use the address of 300 Margaret Drive.
