Troops should plan to bring this equipment. • Troops should also plan to bring all cleaning supplies including toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. • Fire buckets, grates and rakes are available on the site.

Fires and Wood

All fire circles have rakes, a bucket, and a grate. Please build fires in existing fire circles, and do not make new ones. Note: Fires are not allowed on the beach. Gather only fallen dead wood for any fire. Please leave ashes in the fire circle; it is not necessary to rake, sweep, or shovel ashes before or after use. Troops may use indoor fireplaces; please refer to the reservation confirmation packet for usage instructions.

Plumbing

Refrigeration and Food Storage

There are refrigerators in the lodge and Christa's House for groups staying there. For outside units, there are refrigerators located in the dining hall basement for troops to share. Please mark troop grocery bags or items clearly. It is your responsibility to monitor the thermometer for acceptable temperature readings of 40 degrees or below. If not, please notify the Site Manager for correction. It is suggested to bring a cooler or bin to store non-perishable food items.

Shared Spaces

The field outside the dining hall is normally shared by all site users. Troops are responsible for bringing outdoor games and equipment if planning to use this shared outdoor space.

Trash Disposal

A dumpster is located near the dining hall. Troops are responsible for bringing trash to the dumpster at the end of their stay.

Reminders

• Groups using Christa's House or the lodge should have girls bring slippers to wear indoors. This avoids wet muddy floors. • Do not move beds and/or mattresses around from cabin to cabin.
