Campers sleep with their clan in either Sherwood Castle or one of the Merry Folks' Pavilions. Quarters are assigned to groups depending on the group size and how many groups best fit into each area.
Sherwood Castle is an indoor, climate-controlled environment with bunk beds. The Castle houses around 80 campers. Squire-age groups are typically assigned to sleep here.
The Merry Folk Pavilions are large, military-grade tents that stand over a raised wooden platform. They are insulated and climate controlled. The Pavilions house up to 30 campers each.
In all sleeping areas, campers sleep on bunk beds with twin-sized foam pads.
Sleeping accommodations are gender neutral and campers are monitored around the clock.
There are four sessions of 6 nights each. Campers are dropped off on Sundays and picked up on Saturdays.
A typical camper day includes attending 5 - 6 classes, 3 healthy meals, a snack, and an evening activity or entertainment of some kind after dinner. Campers end their day with a shower and bedtime story.
Bridge Campers
If campers are attending multiple sessions consecutively, they can stay with us on that “bridge” Saturday night and enjoy extra-special activities as well as some unstructured time. We’ll do their laundry, too. There is no charge for the extra day or for laundry service - in fact, you'll get a multisession discount!
