Camp Alleghany is in the mountains along a river. Items will get damp, if not wet. Daily temperatures are summer-like 80’s, but the evenings can get as cool as 40 degrees. Pack accordingly.

Labeling clothing is VERY important.

There are no laundry services EXCEPT in emergencies.

Many camp items can be purchased at the Camp Store (see *).
