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!
