What to Bring to Camp
As you put together what you need for the weekend, please remember that you are coming to a camp and pack accordingly. We are very informal here! Watch the weather report. Casual clothes, comfortable/sturdy shoes, warm sweaters/jackets and a rain jacket (which we hope will remain packed) are usually in order.
We suggest you bring the following (label everything):
Label everything, especially items to be shared. If you are kind enough to bring an instrument to share, please label both the instrument and case.
Leave at home: pets, alcohol and drugs.
We suggest you bring the following (label everything):
- Acoustic instruments: guitar, mandolin, drum, fiddle, ukulele, harmonica, kazoo, rattles, etc. ... even ones you've never played, and especially ones you don’t mind loaning to others to try – please!
