Things to know before your arrival at camp

Transit

If you are taking a flight, you should plan to arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport. Train travelers should arrive at Newark Penn Station. Alison will arrange shuttle buses to take folks to camp from there.

Venue and accommodations

Hands in 4 Youth Camp, West Milford NJ.

We will be staying in camp cabins, which are pretty spare. Some of the rooms are shared and others are not. You can put your roommate preferences here:

The camp provides pillows, sheets, and blankets, but you should also bring your own more comfortable ones if you want.

You must bring your own towels and toiletries!

Information about where we're sleeping is here: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/Main_Page/Meetings/LFPCamp2022/Rooms and later Alison will update it with who is rooming with whom.

Food

The camp will be providing all of our meals. Please make sure Alison is aware of your dietary needs well in advance!

Our accommodations include kitchens in each building, so we will have plenty of space to bring our own snacks and drinks.
