Camp RIO 2016: Prepare for your trip

Camp RIO 2016 was held August 11-12th, 2016 at Merry Lea Environmental Center, located near Goshen College

Attire

Camp RIO will be informal and involve time outdoors, so please dress in comfortable clothes.


Linens

For those staying in the dorms, bedding will be provided, but please bring your own towel and washcloth.

Miscellaneous

Everyone will receive a Camp bag filled with office supplies, snacks, bug spray/sunscreen, and more. You should be able to pack light!

Are you a coffee drinker?  Please bring one of your favorite mugs to use while you are at camp!  This way we'll know what cup belongs to which camper, and we'll be able to put a few less cups in the landfill!

Parking for daytime attendees

Camp RIO will be held at Merry Lea Environmental Center’s Farmstead and Reith Village.

Day time events will be held at the Farmstead, located at 2152 S 425 W, Albion, IN 46701.
