Please bring a music stand! We have hauled our music stands to camp in the past, but we lack the transportation to do it this time. If everyone tries to remember to bring one (even if you normally share), then there will be enough stands! Please label your stand with your name. If it comes apart, label all the pieces.
The camp cook needs to know if there is anyone with special dietary needs. Please let me know asap.
Here is the schedule:
Retreat Schedule 2012
This will be our third annual retreat. Not only do we have fun, we get to know each other better, and experience a top quality workshop, as well as rehearse for our upcoming concert. If you cannot stay the night, please be sure to attend as much of the retreat as possible on either Friday evening or Saturday morning or both. We can let you know what the cost is for the meals you eat if you don't spend the night.

Accommodations
My kids tell me this is NOT camping! The heated cabins have dorm-style bunkbeds with mattresses on them. The beds are more comfortable if you bring a blanket/quilt to put under your sleeping bag. If you need to go at night, you will have to walk to the bathrooms (which have showers and even flush toilets J), or the lodge – so be prepared for inclement weather!
What to Bring
Music Stand
Sleeping Bag, Pillow, Extra Blanket, Coat, Snow-appropriate Shoes/Boots
Personal Hygiene items including toothbrush & toothpaste, washcloth, soap, towel
Change of clothes (warm clothes! It's in the mountains… and the weather is going to be iffy)
Instrument
Great Attitude!
