Pack Yer Saddlebags!

Sleepin' at Snydermill is true bunkhouse-style — big, friendly halls lined with bunks, and every bunk has a comfy mattress ready and waitin'. The bedroll is your department, so pack like a cowpoke:

Sleeping bag or twin bedding — mattresses are provided, bedding is not
Pillows — one per head
Fans — battery or plug-in, to keep your bunk row breezy
Earplugs & eye mask — light sleepers rest easy in a hall of happy campers
Towels & toiletries — hot showers await
Swimsuit — for the water flume & inflatables on Field Day
Warm layers & jacket — mountain nights at 6,500 ft turn crisp, even in August
Sunscreen, hats & sunglasses — that high-country sun means business
Bug spray — the aspens come with a few tiny neighbors
Refillable water bottle — stay watered at altitude
Sturdy shoes — for fields, courts & aspen trails
Flashlight or headlamp — for findin' your bunk after the campfire
Camp chairs — handy at the fields & amphitheater
Phone chargers — a power strip earns you friends
Biographical Sketch script & props — your night to shine!
Burnett treasures — for the memorabilia table

Leave the chuck wagon home — the Lodge kitchen comes fully stocked. Tent & RV campers, bring your usual rig and gear.
