What NOT to Bring

  • Please do not include any food in luggage. We are in the woods, and there are animals that really like food. Packing food in luggage lures animals into the tipis and can put our community in danger.
    • Food sent in care packages is not stored in the tipis.
  • Matches, fireworks or explosives.
    • Glass water bottles are also prohibited because they can start fires!
  • Pocket knives or weapons of any kind, even toys that look like weapons.
  • Campers do not need any money while at Camp. You can leave money in their store account at drop off, and we will handle this.
  • Cell phones or valuable electronics. We encourage kids to unplug from their devices at Camp. Campers are allowed to use phones as cameras and to play music, but they must remain on airplane mode or to have their SIM card removed by you. Music must have lyrics appropriate for campers of all ages.
  • Valuable or extremely sentimental items, such as jewelry, collections, etc.
  • Cigarettes, vapes, alcohol, & drugs are prohibited. This applies to family members as well when on Camp property.
  • Please do not bring bikes, skate boards, etc.
