Fall on the Oregon Coast can be unpredictable weather wise, so the key takeaway here is to pack lots of layers (and a raincoat)! On average, October temperatures range from 65 during the day to 45 at night. Cabins are heated and have electricity, and we’ll provide bedding/linens. You won’t need to carry your luggage into camp, but camp suggests a duffle bag as opposed to a rolling bag, if possible. Importantly, once you come into camp you won’t be able to leave until the end of the weekend, so make sure you’re prepared.
Basics
Toiletries
Medications
Sunscreen
Bug spray
Water bottle
Flashlight/headlamp
Small backpack for hiking
Any beach toys/games/cards/crafts you’d like to have at camp
We’ll provide all food for the weekend, but you’re welcome to bring extra snacks/drinks you might want, just keep them in sealed containers over the weekend because we don’t want animals in the cabins.
We’ll provide linens (sheets, blanket, pillow, bath towel), but if you want to bring anything extra like a sleeping bag, feel free.
Clothing
Shoes for hiking - tennis shoes will be fine, but it may be muddy
Water shoes for beach/river exploring - Tevas or rainboots will work!
Swim suit - for those brave enough to face the Pacific, Hugh said he is bringing his wetsuit
Rain gear - we’ll still want to hike even if it rains, but no pressure to join
Warm jacket - maybe the most important item to bring, it will be chilly at night
Ceremony clothes - we’ll be dressing up on Saturday night for a short ceremony and celebratory dinner! Dress code is “camp formal". We know, another made up dress code, but think button ups and blazers for men, semi-formal attire for women, something slightly dressed up that will still be comfy in a camp setting. The camp is mostly sand, and our ceremony will be on the beach, so keep that in mind when selecting shoes.
Clothes for the rest of the weekend - shorts/sweatshirts/leggings etc, clothes for camp
Please do not bring
Recreational drugs (Westwind’s policy is strict and we’d face a hefty fine)
Pets (we are also very sad about this, but are happy to show Mick photos at any time)
Glass bottles (think, beach rules)
Also! There is an option for tent camping if you’d like to bring your own tent/pad/sleeping bags/etc. Chat with us if you’d like to do this and we can make it happen!
