FAQs
Question
What all am I invited to do?
Answer
All of our guests are invited to join us for the entire weekend from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. In addition to the wedding on Saturday, you have the option of sleeping in the cabins, participating in camp activities, and joining us for meals throughout the weekend.
Question
Do I have to stay at the camp to participate in weekend activities?
Answer
Absolutely not! If not staying at camp, we suggest staying at the Best Western (about 12 minutes away). If you are choosing to stay at a hotel or Airbnb, you are still welcome to join us for the weekend activities and mealtimes. Our only request is that you RSVP to all activities either way so that we can get an accurate headcount.
Question
What are the camp cabins like?
Answer
Each cabin has single bunkbeds, bathrooms, showers, outlets, and space heaters when necessary. Feel free to check out www.campfriendship.com/retreats/lodging/ for more pictures of the cabins or www.campfriendship.com/about/tour/ for a virtual tour of the inside of the cabins.
Question
How do I reserve a spot in a cabin?
Answer
You'll reserve a spot by RSVPing "Yes" to "Camp Check-in" on our wedding website. Ariel and Lucas will get you set up in a cabin from there.
Question
What else should I know if I'm planning to stay at the camp for the weekend?
Answer
If you are interested in staying at the camp, there are a few things to note: You will be responsible for bringing your own linens, towel, and pillows.* It will cost $50 a night per person to stay in the cabins. Lucas and Ariel will assign people to their cabins. Cabin assignments will be based on who you know - don't worry, we won't put you with total strangers! Also, all beds are twin, and they can't be moved together. *The camp has a limited amount of bed linens available for use. We will reserve these for guests flying in for the wedding (please just let us know if you are flying in and would like to take advantage of these).
Question
Are children invited?

Question
Is there parking at Camp Friendship?
Answer
Yes, there is plenty of parking if you are driving in for the weekend. There will be camp staff directing you on where to park. If you are staying with us, your car will be closer to where your cabin is. If you are just attending the wedding on Saturday, the Camp Staff will show you where to park.
