SPECIAL SUGGESTIONS!
• To make your cabin more comfortable we suggest bringing a favorite stuffed animal, pictures to post, and a comfy pillow.
• Good shoes are important to safely navigate the mountains and woods terrain surrounding Frost Valley.
• Please leave your skateboards, roller blades and scooters at home.
Frost Valley YMCA is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items. Camp is not a place for expensive items. Please leave the following items at home:
• Expensive clothing and jewelry
• Stereos, CD players, walkmans and electronic games.
• Expensive cameras (disposable cameras are a great idea!)
• COMPUTERS, CELL PHONES, VIDEO CAMERAS AND PAGERS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN CAMP.
• Weapons, including pocket and hunting knives, alcohol, cigarettes and illegal drugs are not permitted in camp and will result in immediate dismissal from camp.
Please do not pack food. Campers are NOT permitted to have food in the cabins. Food will attract wildlife into the cabin areas. Frost Valley provides healthy, plentiful food as well as some evening snacks.
All luggage should have a PERMANENT label inside and out.
