Final Details
What to bring:
Clothing – As you pack, keep in mind the Midwest can be cold and damp at this time of year. Mornings and evenings can get chilly, so make sure to pack warm clothes, but also be ready for the midday warmth. If you plan to play sports, bring the proper attire.
Bedding – You will need to bring your own bedding [twin bed], pillow, and towel/washcloth. A limited number of these items are available upon request and for an additional fee to those flying to P4C. If you need linens and you did not request them on your registration, please email us.
Bathrooms – Please note that the shower facilities are located separately from the cabins. To ensure your convenience, we recommend bringing a tote or bag to carry your toiletries, towel, and any other personal items you might need. This will help you easily transport your belongings to and from the shower area and your cabin. Additionally, there are lockers available in the bathrooms where you can securely store your items if you prefer not to carry them back and forth.
Extras – Feel free to bring games that you would enjoy playing with other attendees. A Bible, notepad, and pen are highly suggested. Flashlights are a must!
Theme Dinner:
Merrie Banquet of the Realm
Hear ye, hear ye! You are most cordially summoned to the Merrie Banquet of the Realm, a festive gathering where lords, ladies, knights, and jesters alike shall come together for an evening of feasting, laughter, and merriment. Step back into the splendor of the Medieval and Renaissance age, where music fills the hall, torches light the way, and the royal court welcomes for a night of merriment.
Prepare thyself for a night of pageantry and delight as noble guests dine by candlelight, whisper secrets of courtly intrigue, and revel in the joy of fellowship. Whether thou art a gallant knight, a fair maiden, or a clever trickster, all shall find a place at this grand banquet until the moon bids us farewell.
