Question
What should I pack?
Answer
The weather in mid-August should be warm, however, nights could be cooler. We suggest checking the weather for Lyman, NH before you pack. We are planning for the ceremony and a few other events to be outside, so plan accordingly. Here is a short list of recommended items for the weekend: - Comfortable clothes for indoor/outdoor activities (swimsuits too!) - Wedding Attire - Bug spray & sunscreen - Snacks – We promise to feed you well at meal times! If you get hungry between meals, you may want to pack snacks. Just make sure to store snacks in a sealed container like a cooler to help keep critters away. - Water bottle - Any lawn games you love to play (although we have plenty!) - Alcohol (or other beverages) and cooler (if you need it) for your cabin in case you want to have a drink while events are not going on.
Question
What is the wedding attire?
Answer
Dressy Casual. The rest of the weekend is very relaxed. Wear clothes that you’re comfortable in but plan on bringing layers for the evening. The only rules at Ogontz are shirts and shoes are required in the dining room.
Question
Can I bring a pet?
Answer
Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on the property or in cabins.

How about our kids?
Answer
Camp Ogontz is a perfect venue for those looking to have a nice relaxing weekend and to act like a kid, kid-free! However, we want to enjoy the weekend with you regardless, so feel free to bring those babies. For cost and planning purposes, please note the resort charges for any kids over the age of two, and childcare is not provided.

CAN I (DO I NEED TO) BRING MY OWN BOOZE?

There will be a refrigerator provided in the dining room where you can keep things cold and the camp has plenty of ice.

Fires are ONLY permitted in designated areas, including the fireplaces and wood stoves in indoor cabins. - Follow NH state laws (fishing, boating, drinking, driving, etc.) - If something isn’t working right or breaks, please let someone on the Ogontz staff know.
