• Camp will provide bottom sheets for the mattresses, but no other bedding. Please bring pillows, pillow cases, top sheets, blankets, sleeping bags and other bedding items needed for your stay.

• Masks are allowed anywhere but will be required in the Library and Game Room. Please bring your masks for these areas.

• No daily volunteer-led hikes nor naturalist walks will be offered. Camp will provide recommendations for hike and walks and provide a copy of Discover Acadia National Park: AMC's Guide to the Best Hiking, Biking, and Paddling. This is an excellent resource which includes all types of activities. As the camp bus will not be available, all campers must make their own transportation arrangements. At this time the Islander bus will not be running in Southwest or Northwest Harbor.

• There will not be an evening leader. Campers are encouraged to create their own Banathlon and new traditions.

• Be aware that traveling up Cadillac Mountain requires a reservation. Make your reservation at https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/fees.htm

• Food will be served buffet style by the Croo, and dining will occur in the dining hall. Limited space is available at picnic tables on the deck.

• Hot lunches will be served on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday, Boxed (trail) lunches will be served Wednesday and Thursday, and are always available daily.

• Masks will be available by request at the office.
