Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please plan to RSVP by August 1st! We want to have plenty of time to organize cabins and activities for everyone!

Question

Why a Summer Camp?

Answer

For fun! It has lots of space, included sleeping accomodations, and tons of activities. Plus, we hope that celebrating our wedding with all of our family and friends at Camp Ton-A-Wandah will give us the opportunity to really enjoy every minute of the weekend and spend quality time with everyone!

Question

Do I have to stay at Camp Ton-A-Wandah?

Answer

Of course not! Although everyone is welcome to join us at camp for the whole weekend, we understand that it may not be for everyone! If you don't want to sleep in a twin-sized bunkbed in a cabin and shower in a bath-house, you are welcome to find other accommodations nearby. See the "Travel" tab for more information and options!

Question

Who will I be sharing a cabin with?

Answer

Your closest friends and/or family! We will be arranging and assigning cabin "spots" once we receive RSVPs, but will only place guests with their close friends or family members. Please reach out to us if you have specific requests for your cabin-mates or if you need a more private/individual cabin for your family (there are a limited number of private cabins for family units!)

Is there a dress code?

Answer

For most of your time at camp, the dress code is comfortable and casual! For Friday night's Rehearsal/Welcome Dinner, the dress code is Smart Casual For Saturday's Wedding Ceremony and Reception, the dress code is Cocktail attire See the schedule for more details and ideas on what to wear!

Question

What should I pack?

Answer

Since we have organized a full weekend including lots of different activities, consider packing: -Comfortable "Camp" Clothes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday -Layers: jackets or sweaters for cooler early fall evenings (consider the historical temperatures of 75 degree highs and 54 degree lows on this date, in this area) -Rain gear: rain jackets and umbrellas (just in case!) -Shoes: Closed-Toed Shoes/Tennis Shoes for hiking/climbing/ziplining, Dress shoes for the ceremony and reception, Flip-Flops/Crocs for use in the cabin and/or shower hall. -"Dressy" clothes for Friday and Saturday nights (Smart Casual and Cocktail attire) -Bathing suit (for swimming in the lake!) -Linens (If you can! We can help to provide linens if you are traveling from out of town): Pillows, Sheets, Comforter or Quilt, Blankets, Towels (pool, bath, washcloth, etc.), or even an Air Mattress (if you think that it would be more comfortable than a twin-sized bunk bed mattress) -Any and all toiletries that you may need -Extra snacks and drinks (alcoholic beverages are permitted onsite) if you want!
