What should I pack? A towel (one bath towel is provided but you may want an extra if you plan kayak or SUP) An extra blanket (one blanket and a set of sheets is provided) An extra pillow (one pillow is provided) Shower sandals A camping chair (cabins do not have chairs inside or outside on the porches) A flashlight (buildings are well lit but paths may be dimly lit at night) Bottled water and extra snacks (there are filtered water machines in a few of the gathering spaces but the water fountains outside each cabin are not currently in working order) Comfortable clothes-This retreat is designed for you to rest and relax. We want you to dress to your comfort level. So if you want to wear yoga pants all weekend…do it! If you want to get dressed and put on make up…do it. We just want you to be comfortable! Appropriate shoes- If you plan to do activities or exploring be sure to bring shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy or dirty. All roads are gravel and some paths to activities a little more rugged. There is a paved path that can be used to get to all of our main gathering spaces and all cabins. A rolling suitcase to take your belongings to your cabin. Although everything is centrally located, parking behind cabins is not recommended. This may require some of you to transport your things a little further than normal. What are the accommodations like? This year we are at a new location. While Pine Cove: Crier Creek is undergoing some exciting renovations we will be using Crier Creek’s sister location, The Ridge. Good News! The Ridge is right next door to Crier Creek so we get to travel to a familiar location but explore a whole new side of Pine Cove. The Ridge is a newer facility built to host summer camps. Each cabin at the Ridge has 2 sides with 5 bunk beds, 2 shower stalls, 2 toilet stalls & 3 sinks per side. There are enough cabins to allow for each of our ladies to sleep on a single bottom bunk with 5 people per room. Rooms can accommodate up to 10 for those who are willing to sleep on a top bunk. We know what you may be thinking…Summer Camp Cabins sound a little sketchy… Ladies, these cabins are newer and clean so don’t let the words “Summer Camp Cabin” scare you off! You can see a video that we took of a cabin on the Facebook event page. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
