LODGING: Lakeview Guests - Hotel-Style lodging - Each room has its own private bathroom and 2 full-size beds. Linens are included. Castle - It is an honor to sleep in such a historical and beautiful building. The rooms are set up like an AirBNB home. Each room has two double beds. Linens are included. Cabins - Each cabin has a main room with 8 to 10 bunk beds, one private counselor room, and 1 or 2 bathrooms depending on the location. Each bunk has 1 pillow and 1 blanket that will be available to you, but please remember to pack your sheets! If a Camper forgets their linens, their in-cabin CIT can help them arrange proper beddings.

Question

Shoes

Answer

PLEASE WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES - There are countless hills and you will be walking everywhere. (You can drive but you have to say under 15mph) Wedding attire is Creative Cocktail, which gives you the full creative freedom to wear the footwear of your choice. When participating in activities and walking around camp - it is the camp's policy that all guests wear close-toed shoes. (You can not wear Crocs on the zipline!) As campers, both Owen and Madeline spent many a time in the infirmary because they sliced their toes open on rocks!
