LODGING

We will have family cabins & women/men cabins. If you want to reserve a 'family' cabin, please send me the list of people who will share a cabin. Cabins sleep 10, more if you want to bring an air mattress. There is additional cabin information at the website listed above. There are not enough for each household to have their own cabin, so please get with others and make a group of 8-10 who will share a cabin.

CONTACT INFORMATION

I have also attached a document with family addresses. Please review your family address to ensure accuracy. If you are over 18 ~ you should have your own label, so if you're still listed under your parents, please let me know. Please email me with any changes and I will send out a revised list later this summer.

If you notice anyone missing from the email list, please let me know. Also, if I have an email listed for you that you would like to have removed from my list, let me know that as well.

Hope everyone has made arrangements to come this year!! It should be a blast. There is tons to do and explore at the new park, so bring walking shoes, swim suits, baseball mits, bikes etc. and we'll have so much fun!!

As always, please email me with any questions!

Love,

Michele

Versailles Cabins

There are 11 cabins with the following features:

*cabins are one large room
*most have a balcony/porch/deck with gorgeous views
*10 single beds per cabin
*no bunked beds
*bathrooms are not in cabins
*overhead lights
*beds are movable, so could be pushed together
*if you wanted to sleep more than 10, air mattresses would fit in addition to the 10 beds
*there are curtains on the windows

Here is what we'd recommend:

a) bring a small lamp per cabin to avoid having to turn on overhead lights when others are sleeping (or just use a flashlight)

b) bring your own bedding ~ only a mattress is provided

c) get a group of 10 people together that will share a cabin and email that to Michele so that we can assign cabins to groups
*we can have family-style cabins and
*we will have men's/women's cabins - you can make your own groups
*if you just want to be assigned to a women's / men's cabin - just let me know (similar to McCormick's)

d) there isn't much privacy, so if you are taking a cabin for your family, you might consider bringing some kind of contraption for making some area for changing, etc. I've thought we might bring a tent to set up inside as a 'changing' area.

e) we cannot drive up to the cabins, so pack light and if you can bring something that will help you carry your belongings to the cabin.
