Campers MUST provide their own:  PILLOW, BLANKET, BED LINEN, and TOWELS. The dormitory (Granville) is air-conditioned so you will not need to bring a fan. All campers are required to pay a $40 KEY DEPOSIT in cash which the camper will receive at Check-Out when they return their key. You will be assigned a roommate at registration if you have not already requested one.  There are 2 people to a room, and 4 share the suite. In some instances there will be 3 campers to a room if the room is larger, every camper will always have their own bed.
