Are meals provided for us?
- No, though we do have traditions such as Fajita Friday. Please remember to pack adequate food stuffs! We do, generally, have a number of foodies in attendance who will gladly cook up something with whatever you provide them, and many attendees donate extra food for others, but we highly recommend not relying on this if you have any special dietary needs. There is a grocery store, in town, 5 miles from the park. Water is available on-site.
How does the kitchen work?
The kitchen, and dishes, are available for use by attendees, however you must go through Corsi (or a designated stand-in) to obtain permission, and you are expected to clean up after yourself. This includes any dishes you may use. Anyone found leaving a mess in the kitchen will be hunted down and forced to clean it from top to bottom, and will not be allowed to use it again!
May I use space in the fridge?
Refrigerator space is primarily for food donated to the event. Some space is set aside for those who register at the Happy Camper level, but keep in mind that any food left in the fridge on Sunday is assumed donated. (this assumption does not include alcohol)
Space will be available in the refrigerator, regardless of registration level, for medication that requires refrigeration.
Are there Day Passes available?
-YES! If you only have one day to come spend with us you're absolutely welcome to join us! Day passes may be purchased on site for $20.

-One week before the event starts.
- Do you offer refunds?
Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to fulfill refund requests.
What activities can I do?
-Aside from the numerous activities such as hiking, horseback riding, etc. That our location offers Furry Retreat is unique in that we don't really have a set schedule every year! All our events are hosted by campers like you! If you'd like to host an event please contact us and we'll add it to the "Events" Section of our website for other campers to see. We'll also have a schedule board on location that can be added to on the fly.
