To keep everyone close to each other – all families will have their own cabin on the Girls camp side. Cabins consist of bunk beds with mattresses and some shelves. Each cabin holds between 12-16 sleeping spaces. If
you want to team up in one cabin with another family just let us know! Toilets & showers for girls will be in the girls college; boys will use the Girls CIT bathhouse for all of their needs.

emergencies, you should call 911 or personally drive to New London Hospital (15 min).
Meals: Lunch and dinner provided on Saturday. Breakfast and a cold lunch on Sunday. All families mingle and eat together at tables sized for 10+ people. Meals are served
family style in the new dining hall that opened in 1997. Remember… we’ll still need a setter & a sweeper from each table! Brush up on your AlleyOop and Pig.
Phones/Internet: Mobile Phones & Internet weren’t even a consideration back in 1984… but so you know for 2004… we are in a pocket where there is no cell phone service.
Outside phones are available with local calls toll-free, but you will need a calling card for long distance. There are no computers available during your camping stay.
Weather:
Weather is usually cool nights and hot days. Cabins have screens & no glass windows, so bring warm sleeping attire. You may bring a fan incase of humidity. Remember to expect the unexpected! (ie. rain)
Supervision of Young Children: Children are expected to be supervised by parents. Camp staff will lifeguard and instruct youth, but please be close by for any problems.
The centerpiece of the reunion will be the Campfire!
Prepare some campfire songs & skits!
