     Electrical Appliances

    We would like to take this opportunity to remind campers and parents that items which use electricity are not encouraged at camp due to the low number of outlets and the limited power sources available to each cabin. Camp Strawderman is a rustic camp, a place away from urban and suburban life.

    Care Packages

    Food stored in the cabins is not encouraged in order to promote the healthy diet already arranged and to keep the cabins from becoming a temptation for field mice.

    Laundry

    Laundry is picked up once a week by a commercial laundry. This is recommended for campers who are staying longer than two weeks.
