What are the sleeping arrangements like on camp?
Answer
There are 3 different types: Bunkhouses (cabins with bunk beds), 1 or 2 Room Cabins • Bunkhouses: Bunkbeds can come down and be pushed together to form one double bed. Each bunkhouse has bathrooms, showers, and a porch. • 2-Room Cabins: A few cabins have 2 bedrooms each with a full size or queen bed and a shared bathroom for those two rooms. • 1-Room Cabins: Some cabins are private, with a double bed, bathroom, shower, and a porch.
