Accommodations
RV Camping
The main campground can accommodate up to 10 RVs during the Feast of Sukkot. All RV sites provide water, electricity and waste removal. Your RV space inside the main campground is not guaranteed until you have paid in full and received a confirmation.
Tent Camping
There are many places to set up your tent in the main campground. Tents desiring electricity will need to be located near the Children's craft building in the main tent area. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to have electricity until you arrive at the camp. Please bring a long extension cord. The Children's craft building also has a restroom that can be used by campers. There is also 1 restroom with shower in each of the men's & women's cabins which can be used by campers as well.
Cabin bunk bed Camping
There are six cabins each sleeping approx 8 bunk beds. Each cabin has 1 restroom including 1 shower, refrigerator and window unit for a/c. When reserving a cabin bunk bed you are reserving 1 bed only. The cabins are designated for men only or women only. We cannot guarantee a private cabin for a family but will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Meals & Campfires
You are responsible for providing your own meals. There is a commercial cooler and freezer in the Children's craft building. Please use the existing campfire sites. The camp prefers you not start another campfire site, but would be agreeable if you dig up a portion of grass to build a new campfire site and then replace the grass after fire is put out in effort to leave no trace.
Evening Program
Join us in the evenings. We will be using the lower rooms in the main building with an emphasis on worship and fellowship. Please plan on bringing your camp chairs and blankets in case we decide to take the fellowship outside.
Morning Midrash
A sukkot favorite is the morning midrash where we gather to hear from each other. This is a beautiful time to hear the heart of our heavenly Father expressed through His people via His word. There will be childcare during these times.
A detailed schedule of events will be included in your welcome packet upon arrival.
