The Schedule
A loose plan — this is camp, not boot camp. Everything is optional except having fun. Subject to change on counselor's whim.
Getting There
Camp is in Indio, CA, in the Coachella Valley, right by the festival polo grounds and near Joshua Tree.
- Arrive anytime Thursday 10/22 (house opens 4 PM) and depart anytime Sunday 10/25 (checkout 10 AM).
- Send your flight info to Steph— we'll coordinate carpools and rental car shares from the airport.
The Camp
A 2-acre private estate with 10 bedrooms, 7 baths, and 19 beds — everyone gets a real bed. It's basically a resort. See the full listing →
Camp Dues
Lodging for all 3 nights comes to $421 per camper, split in two payments.
The $421 covers lodging only. We're not expecting much beyond that, but a few things will be split evenly among campers once we're all there:
- Groceries & shared house supplies — tallied and split after the weekend
- Rental car — going big with a 15-passenger van 🚐
- A few other small miscellaneous expenses as they come up
If the timing puts you in a pinch, just message Steph directly — we'll work it out, no questions asked. Nobody misses camp over a deadline. ♡
Packing List
It's the desert in October: sunny days around 85–90°F, crisp nights near 60°F. Pack for both.
- Swimsuits (plural probably)
- Athletic shoes + activewear for pickleball & Camp Olympics
- Sunscreen, sunglasses & a hat — desert sun is no joke
- A warm layer for campfire nights
- A cute dinner outfit for Saturday night
- Water bottle — hydration is a camp value
The Mess Hall
We'll mostly cook together at camp — the kitchen is huge (double ovens, two dishwashers, a smoker, and yes, a margarita machine). We'll organize meal crews so everyone chips in once and lounges the rest of the time.
One special night we'll bring dinner to us — private chef or hibachi, currently being finalized.
Groceries and shared supplies will be tallied and split after the weekend. Send any dietary restrictions or allergies to Steph or the group chat by October 1.
