Everyone is invited to stay with us at Camp to enjoy the weekend together. More information on this can be found in the accommodation section of this website.
-
All meals from Thursday dinner to Sunday brunch will be provided. There will also be snacks available in the dining hall for anyone who may be hungry throughout the day.
Please do not keep food in your cabins as there have been bears around Camp in the past.

If you are traveling from afar and have something specific you need help sourcing that you won't be able to fit in your suitcase, let us know and we can help you figure it out.
-
No, all meals and activities will be on camp.
-
Yes, but please be mindful of space and carpool to camp if possible.
-
Hot and humid during the day (up to 26C / 80F), and cold at night (down to 10C / 50F). Prepare for both :)
-
The wedding ceremony and party on Saturday evening will be semi-formal/cocktail attire (suits, short or long dresses). Make sure you wear flat shoes - camp is no place for heels. To help offset the environmental impact of our international wedding, please consider wearing something you already have, rather than something new :)
The rest of the weekend will be pretty casual, so feel free to wear whatever you are comfortable in for the daily meals and activities (tshirts/shorts/etc). Camp is outdoors so things can get messy, dress accordingly.
It gets chilly at night, so bring warm layers.
-
We will arrange the cabins so that you are staying with friends and family, not strangers. If you have any specific requests, don't hesitate to message us.
-
Each regular cabin has multiple bunk beds and an attached, separate bathroom (sink and toilet). Showers are located in other buildings (see "what will the shower situation be?").
If you have any special requirements (i.e. space suitable for a baby) there are alternative cabin options on camp that will be suitable. Just let us know and we can make it work!
-
We will have designated separate boys and girls shower houses. Don't worry, there are curtains!
-
Camp Shohola is a phone-free place, and we will be carrying on this tradition on for our wedding weekend.
We will ring bells to indicate the start of events so you won't miss anything. If you will want photos (in addition to those taken by the photographer), feel free to bring a camera.
-
We know many of you are coming from far and wide to celebrate with us, and that is the best gift of all! Please don't feel any obligation to get us another gift.
-
We will let you know whether your kids are invited on your invitation. If your whole family is invited, please bring the kids along to make the weekend more fun for everyone! Although we won't be able to provide childcare, camp is made for kids (and adults who want to act like them). Message us if you have any questions or concerns.
-
If we have reserved a plus-one for you, it will be specified on your invitation.
-
Yes, we will collect info on dietary requirements in the RSVP.
-
Taxis and Ubers aren't readily available in Greeley, PA. Please arrange your travel to and from alternative accommodation in advance.
-
Hopefully we can provide everything you may need but in case you need anything specific... There are no shops/stores within walking distance of Camp. There is a dollar store 5 minutes away by car for any necessities. Larger shops/stores will be about a 20 minute drive away.
-
Bottom sheets will be provided, but we request that you bring a pillow and sleeping bag or blanket (it gets cold at night). Contact us if you have any questions or concerns!
-
If you want to use a hair drier/straightner/curling iron, you won't be able to use one from the UK with a converter as it can be a fire hazard. We will arrange to have some extra US hair tools available.
-
Camp is pretty rural so there isn't anything in the immediate vicinity that we'd consider a 'must-see'. Nearby cities that could be worth a visit are New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC. If you'd rather a more outdoors-y trip, then the Appalachian Trail has many trial heads that can be entered fairly near camp. There are also many State Parks and State Forests as well as upstate New York that will offer good hikes and camping opportunities.
