  *Enough clothing, bedding, and towels should be sent along to last for two weeks without washing.   To avoid confusion about ownership, all items should be marked with initials or full name.   Girls staying longer than two weeks will be able to send laundry out each week after their first week.   Laundry is usually picked up on Tuesdays and is returned clean on Fridays.

  **For the sake of the environment, please do not bring aerosols to Road's End Farm.   Thank you.

  Please Note: As suitcases or plastic containers 9 1/2" high or less when laid flat will fit nicely under our bunk beds, if you do not already own and need to use a standard foot locker, we would prefer that you refrain from doing so.   In making your decision in this respect, please be advised that each dormitory has dressers and each girl gets 1 or 2 drawers in which to stow a portion of her belongings.

  Sage Advice: As Road's End Farm really is a working horse farm, there is no reason for campers to bring expensive clothes or cherished items to the camp only to run the risk of having them destroyed, shrunk, or lost with no chance of remuneration.   Keeping that fact in mind, please let common sense and comfort be your guide in choosing what your camp wardrobe will include.   Inasmuch as enthusiasm, good humor, and a ready smile will stand you in far better stead around the Farm than will the latest pair of designer jeans, please be sure to bring plenty of each so we may all make the most of our time together this summer.   Thank you.
