FOR EVERYONE

• Reusable Water bottles (one per person, we can refill them on site)
• Easy to set up shade to share/umbrellas
• Hat and sunglasses
• Scent-free Sunscreen (available at health food stores)
• Folding chairs, cushions, anything to make you comfortable (to supplement the seating we truck in)
• Flashlights if staying past dusk
• Clothing for hot and cool—mornings & evenings can be foggy, especially if you stay for the campfire. Typically Bort Meadow gets less fog and a little more sun and warmth than the Oakland side of the hills.
• Bug repellant (we recommend this one for low environmental impact and health-friendliness. Please apply somewhere away from the center of camp)
• Note: Phone reception in the meadow is undependable. Coverage seems okay in the upper parking lot before the gate, but consistent cell phone reception cannot be expected.
• Please do NOT bring alcohol or dogs. Alcohol is not allowed in the park and Kehilla’s policy is that only service dogs are allowed in the retreat area. Thank you!
• There are various rules about where to park your car (drop off spots versus long-term parking), so please be alert for the signs, and thanks in advance for your gracious compliance!

• FOR ALL ITEMS, please label your belongings, so we can make sure everything returns home safe and sound!

OPTIONAL:

• Special props, instruments, or costumes you might want for the talent show!
• Your own utensils for meals (we’ll bring compostables but if you want to bring re-useables we encourage you to)
• Cameras
• Games and cards
• Long pants to avoid poison oak, if venturing into the bushes at the edges of the site.
