Musical equipment?

Hey, Spoonhowopians! A number of you have sent me emails, text messages, or postal mail saying you’d like to bring some musical equipment. This is great! I thought that you musical-type people could all add a comment to this post saying what you’re planning on bringing, then everyone (not just me) could see what’s going on. Also, comment if you have any questions. Thanks!

More information than you can shake four sticks at!

Cabin Questionnaire

Kathy Copic — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 21:22:37 +0000

Howdy, campers! You have been asking us what you need to do to reserve cabins for Camp, so we thought we should explain the process a little more. We plan to send out Camp Registration Packets early this summer with all the information, maps, lists, things-to-send-back-to-us, etc. Until then, you can let us know about your cabin preferences by filling out the questionnaire below. Here’s a quick review of your options.

Turner: We expect most people to stay in Camp Turner. The beds aren’t bunk beds, so they can be pushed together, or you can bring your own air mattresses. You don’t have to worry about choosing people to share a room with — we’ll match friends and family together into cabins.
Weller: The Weller cabins are a 5-minute walk away from the main Turner camp. We’re expecting that families with babies and younger kids may appreciate the privacy of Weller. The cabins have either one or two rooms — take a look at the photos below to get a better idea what the layout is like.
Fancher: We also have six fully-appointed two-bedroom cottages for the weekend. They have two bedrooms, new kitchens, bathrooms and showers — the whole kit & kaboodle.

There are pictures of all these cabins (and more!) online, and there is a summary below.

	expected campers	beds	linens included?	distance to		cost
	expected campers	beds	linens included?	bathroom	dining hall	cost
Turner	80	8/room	no	next door	very close	$20/adult/weekend
Weller	10	4/cabin	no	short walk	5 min walk	$60/night
Weller	10	8/cabin (2 rooms, no door)	no	short walk	5 min walk	$70/night
Fancher	20	1 double & 2 singles/cottage (2 bedrooms)	yes	in cottage	~2 mi	$150/night or $613/week

So that we can get some idea of the numbers so far, here’s a super-short questionnaire. If you are pretty sure or very sure that you will be coming, let us know your cabin preference — even if you’ve already talked with us about it. If you have more questions, please talk to us, or write a comment below! Thanks!
