All campers will have their own bed frame, foam mattress and mattress cover. It’s up to you to bring your pillow, sleeping bag and maybe a light blanket for colder nights. We get creative with organization and set-up during our four weeks at Camp – using bins or hanging shelves to keep clothes organized, or using a stump for a nightstand. The bell tents and air domes also have a frame set-up inside each of them to help hang and organize your belongings.

We all work to keep our living spaces tidy and safe – inspections happen at least once a week – and it’s an important life lesson to make a habit of tidying up your space daily, especially when you share that space with others.

Typically, a Unit is made up of four or five camper tents and two staff tents. Each unit has its own space, somewhat separate from the other units. The tents in a unit generally form a circle, with all doors facing in towards the unit’s fire circle. The fire circle is a central space for gathering; whether it’s to discuss or plan an upcoming unit activity or to roast s’mores together in the evenings.

A unit’s space is very integral to the camper experience – it’s where you come “home” each night, where you sleep and keep your belongings, where you get prepared for each day’s activities, and the main physical place that you connect and bond as a unit. Important growth and connection happen here, so it’s important to care for it and keep it a comfortable space for all members of the unit.
