Adventure Site - Packing List
A permission and authorization form is required for each person under
the age of 18 years who will be participating in your event. This form
must be completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian. These forms
are to be kept by the retreat leader (they do not have to be handed into
the Plateau office). - You will need to have a vehicle available to provide transportation
to the hospital in case of injury or illness. A nurse is not on site
during the retreat season. A first-aid kit should be provided by the
guest group. (Pocono Plateau does not provide first-aid supplies.)
- This is a rustic camping area. Guests must provide sleeping bag and
sleeping pad or air mattress, if desired. Please note that there are no
cots or mattresses in the tents. The log cabins, however, do have bunkbeds
and mattresses. Guests must provide flashlights/lanterns and fuel, all
personal items and toiletries, food and dishes, pots and pans, utensils,
etc., cleaning supplies including trash bags, camp stove and fuel, coolers,
water carriers, etc. (The Plateau will have the bathroom stocked with
toilet paper.) Please bear in mind that it can be quite cool at night
even during the warm weather months.
- You will need to bring all program supplies: paper, pens and pencils,
craft supplies, etc.
- Most group leaders discourage bringing radios, tape players, etc.
since this is an individual's opportunity to "get away from it all."
