Q: What kind of clothes should I bring?

A: It'll be hot and we'll be outside a lot, so bring plenty of shorts and t-shirts. For planned rec everyday we'd recommend gym shorts or the equivalent. Pants are good at night at campfire when it cools off and if any mosquitoes are out.

A: Absolutely. Lots of people come as individuals, but many also come with a few friends....or a few dozen friends!



Q: Do we get freetime? Or is it just planned events all day long?

A: Every afternoon from 2:30pm to 5:30pm you have total freetime to roam the grounds and do whatever you like. The beach and tubing are available at that time, as is volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and the snack bar.
