Weather is changeable at the Abode, and you should be prepared for both hot and cool weather. Bring sun block and warm clothes. Linens are provided in all accommodations on the main campus. However, if you are staying on the mountain you can rent linen packets for $10, which include a pillow, two sheets, and one blanket. As one blanket may not be warm enough, additional single blankets will be available to rent. You should bring rain gear and insect repellent. Bring a flashlight even if you are staying down at the Abode Main Campus. A select variety of supplies (e.g. batteries, pens, etc.) will be available at the camp store.

There is a supermarket in New Lebanon, but the nearest pharmacy is in Pittsfield, more than 15 minutes away.
