What to Bring

  • If you are staying onsite, you will need to bring your own bedding for the camp’s bunk beds if you are driving to camp; GCG has a limited number of sets of bedding for those flying in or arriving by train ONLY. If you are driving, please consider bringing extra bedding to help out those who cannot bring their own.
    • Twin-sized sheets and blankets/comforter or sleeping bag
    • Pillows, pillowcases
    • Air mattress (optional)
      • Some people find the bunks uncomfortable, but we have found that an inexpensive air mattress such as this one makes a huge difference. Folded, it is easily transportable. We will have electric air pumps available for easy inflation.

  • Towels (extra to use as bath mat recommended), wash cloths, and toiletries

  • Sunscreen

  • Insect repellent (!)

  • Walking shoes you don't mind getting muddy

  • Rain gear

  • Clothes for warm and cold weather. It can be really hot or really cold (or even really nice!) at that time of year. Be prepared. 

  • Journal and writing instruments

  • Mug for beverages

  • Musical instrument of choice

  • Flashlight

  • A sense of humor

  • An open heart, flexibility, and an adventurous spirit!
