Suggested Packing Guide for EKC Family Retreats
FAQs: Click HERE
Below is a suggested packing list for you to consider as you pack for your Retreat Weekend. It’s not a complete or perfect list – and there’s a Wal-Mart/ Target not too far from Camp, if you forget something at home.
West Virginia weather can fluctuate quite a bit during the summer months. Average temperatures are 72 – 80 degrees during the day and 60 – 65 degrees at night. Temperatures can reach the high 90’s during the day and can drop to the low 50’s at night. We suggest reviewing the forecast in advance and to pack accordingly.
You should plan on packing enough clothing for the entirety of your stay without doing any laundry (unless you are staying in the new housing, where there is a washer and dryer).
