Think of your Family Camp cabin as an empty apartment furnished only with beds, a kitchen table and benches and you will know the kinds of things to bring to camp. Remember also, you are in the woods where humidity is high. Clothing and shoes take a long time to dry.

Each cabin has a stove, refrigerator and cabinets. The nearest grocery/supermarket is about 14 miles away from Family Camp. We do not sell food other than candy, snacks and soda at the camp so you will need to shop. There is a supermarket approximately 14 miles from camp, should you choose to shop while at camp.
