Remember that Greene Family Camp is not a hotel – so no hair dryers or toiletries are provided. You will be walking outside (on grass, gravel and pavement) from your room to the dining and dance halls and other places.

The Camp will provide: pillow, light blanket, sheets & pillow case, bath towel & face cloth. If you are driving, please consider bringing extra labeled sheets, towels and blankets for those who may need more than what the Camp provides. Thanks.

All rooms are heated and have electrical outlets, but you may want to bring an extension cord or power strip.

Please note that the Camp is NUT FREE to avoid serious allergic complications. We are working with the kitchen to accommodate all the various diets needed for this event. But if you have specific needs, consider bringing along some foods you know you can eat. The kitchen is setting aside some refrigerated space for camper use. Also, you are welcome to BYOB.

NFO will be providing special SOLAR ECLIPSE EYEGLASSES to everyone.
