We have the entire beautiful camp to ourselves! The weekend will be chance to relax, enjoy and connect with all the people we LOVE. We are strongly encouraging all our friends to stay at the camp and help create a beautiful camp community vibe!
YES! If you're planning on staying off premises, you are still welcome and encouraged to join ALL meals and events. We only ask that you RSVP for the food events to ensure we have you accounted for. RSVP for events will come at later date.
Dues should be sent ASAP. Please add a description to your payment, i.e. Name/s_Camp Rootz Venmo Gersh Daniel Gerstenhaber @sirgersh If you'd like to pay another way, please reach out so we can accommodate.
For the adults who can escape their kiddo duties, we’re going for a mostly grown-up summer camp vibe! We totally get that it can be hard to leave your little ones behind, so if you’re unsure, we’re more than happy to chat. There will be a few adorable peanuts around, including the one and only Mr. Lazlo! During the reception, we will have a sitter for camp kiddos - pizza and movie night!
Friday Night – DENIM ONLY. Think casual, comfy, and ALL JEAN. We're kicking off the weekend with a unified, jean-filled vibe to set the tone for all the silliness, community, and connection that’s about to go down. Saturday Day – Wear whatever makes you feel your best! We’re channeling 80’s summer camp vibes. Saturday Night – COCKTAIL ATTIRE MEETS BURNER FLAIR. Time to get fancy, but with a twist! And yes, we’re going barefoot on the dance floor, so bring some comfy slippers or wiggle-ready socks! Remember, we’re in the mountains, which means it might get a little muddy (adventure vibes!). We recommend sensible shoes, because… you never know! Also, it can get a little chilly up here, so be sure to pack accordingly. If you’re coming by the camp on Saturday or Sunday for any activities, make sure to pack for the great outdoors: Sports gear for all the outdoor fun (frisbee, yoga, basketball, tennis, etc.) Swimsuit for the pool and lake (and yes, we’ll provide towels, don’t worry!) We’ll send out a packing list and some wardrobe mood boards closer to the date, so stay tuned!
