Plateau Retreats

Main Site - Packing List

  1. 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).
  2. 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.)
  3. The Plateau provides beds with mattresses. Please bring your own pillow and bedding/sleeping bag. Also, bring your own personal care articles: towel, washcloth, soap, etc.
  4. You will need to bring all program supplies: paper, pens and pencils, craft supplies, etc. The Plateau has an overhead projector and screen, VCR/DVD player and TV, easel (pads and markers to be supplied by the guest group), and white boards (markers to be supplied by the guest group). These items are available on a first-requested basis.
  5. Most group leaders discourage bringing radios, tape players, etc. since this is an individual's opportunity to "get away from it all."
