SPECIAL SUGGESTIONS!
To make your Yurt more comfortable we suggest bringing a favorite stuffed animal, pictures to post, and a comfy pillow.
Some campers will bring a 2-3 drawer stand up plastic clothes organizer to help keep their stuff in order.
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
• IPods can only be used during rest hour, but please remember how small these are and how easy they are to hide if another camper who doesn’t have one decides they need to “borrow” your camper’s
• Expensive cameras (disposable cameras are a great idea!)
• ELECTRONIC GAMES, 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 yurts, because it will attract small rodents into the living areas.
