Housing
All students and leaders will be housed in one of Ocoee Ridge Camp’s air-conditioned bunkhouses. You will need to bring towels, linens/sleeping bags, and a pillow with you. It is important that we maximize space in every room in order to keep costs as low as possible. Because housing depends on the camps final numbers (which are not final until days before camp starts), we will not know your specific rooming arrangements until you arrive at The Great Escape.
