FAQs
Question
How do cabin reservations/ assignments work?
Answer
Once everyone RSVPs, we will assign people who indicated interest in staying at camp to a cabin with other people they know. The majority of cabins sleep 8 adults in twin beds, with only the bottom bunk occupied as well as two shared bathrooms per cabin. There are limited private cabins with double beds and en suite bathrooms that accommodate two adults. If you are interested in staying at camp but prefer a more private option please indicate that on your RSVP and we will do our best to accommodate everyone's preferences. There are also multiple hotels within ~15 minutes that can be found under the travel tab.

Technically, 500 campers! That said there is ample room for everyone invited to stay at camp, and sleep in bottom bunks only to limit any hazards.
