In the Retreat Center and Bluestem, Camp Mennoscah provides a pillow and a comforter on each bed. Queen and full sized beds have two pillows. A linen packet (fitted and flat sheet, pillowcase) may be rented at these locations for $7 or you may bring your own. In the bunkhouses and cabins, no bedding is provided. Almost all beds are single beds and we recommend bringing a pillow, sheet, and comforter or blanket for your stay. Sleeping bags are also a great option.

During the summer camping season, check-in is no sooner than 2 pm (Saturday) and check-out is no later than 2 pm (Sunday) unless other arrangements are made. During the rest of the year, arrival and departure times and dates are to be arranged with camp staff. Please make time in your program for packing, cleaning, and loading vehicles so that buildings can be vacated by the departure time.

Please leave your pets and animals at home. Pets and animals of any size or kind are not allowed on Camp Mennoscah grounds or in facilities/buildings. Working service animals are welcome.

Camp Mennoscah has many activities available, please visit our activities page for more information. All activity areas are shared unless special reservations have been made. Shared areas include: sports fields, the river, canoes, playground, and campfire amphitheater. Some activities are not available at Bluestem. Please contact Camp Mennoscah with questions. 

The swimming pool is typically available for use from Memorial Day to Labor Day and can be rented by groups staying at camp. Groups using the swimming pool are required to provide their own lifeguards. It is recommended for the size of the pool that two lifeguards be on duty to supervise pool safety. Camp Mennoscah may be able to provide a lifeguard or lifeguards for groups with prior arrangements at an additional cost. Lifeguards may not take part in pool activities. Pool regulations are to be strictly enforced, including those regarding showers before entering the pool. Clean bathing suits are required in the swimming pool, and may not be the same ones used in the river. The swimming pool is a shared activity space, but may be reserved for only one group at a time.

Camp Mennoscah does not have food service and does not provide meals or a cook for group reservations unless arrangements have been made. For Camp Mennoscah's retreats, meals are provided. If you have questions about whether or not meals will be provided, please contact Camp Mennoscah. Camp Mennoscah will do its best to honor dietary requests due to allergies and health issues. We cannot guarantee being able to meet all food requests. Any dietary needs should be conveyed to Camp Mennoscah no later than 2 weeks before the start of the retreat. Those requesting vegetarian meals must mark this in their Retreat Form. Please contact Camp Mennoscah for more information.
