What to Bring

Camp Elphinstone provides a full dining hall with all meals catered, and there are no cooking or refrigeration facilities in the cabins. All cabins are heated and have regular electric outlets. Bunk beds with single width, vinyl-covered mattresses are provided so bring bedding or sleeping bags and pillows.

Some cabins will be designated quiet zones, please respect that when you choose where to get settled in. Let us know if y'all are planning on setting up a party cabin and we'll help direct you to the best spots for that!

What to Leave Behind:

hangups
cares and worries
negative attitudes
dogs and other companion animals (Unfortunately animals--especially dogs--do not mix well with a large crowd of strange people of all ages. We don't like the idea of having to ask folks who bring animals to keep them tied up at all times, so we ask if you would please leave your non-human friends with others who can love them safely over Intention week. Thx)
cellphones - 'coz they won't get reception at the camp anyway =]:P
