Important Information
 
Please make sure you read this section as it contains very important information for you.

****Please note that Bar-V-Nok does not have bathroom access in the cabins during the winter months.  The water is turned off during the winter months to prevent the pipes underground from freezing.  There is a centrally located shower house available and there is a bathroom in the main lodge area.*** 

What to bring?
 
Bar-V-Nok Resort is a very rustic and quaint place.  Please make sure you bring a sleeping bag, folding mattress/air mattress for the beds.
 
Here is a list of items we recommend that you bring from home to ensure your scrapbook retreat weekend is a fun and relaxing experience:

• Sleeping foam or air mattress to place on top of your bed. 
• Sleeping bag and/or extra blankets to keep warm at night.  No bedding is supplied for any of the rooms.
• Pillow(s)
• Towel and face cloth
• Comfortable clothing.  You may want to dress in layers just as the room temperatures may vary. 
• Light sweatshirt to keep you warm. 
• Pajamas and slippers for our Saturday night pajama party.  The party will begin after the late night snack and beyond.  This is optional.
• Seat cushion, the chairs may get hard after a few hours of sitting. 
• A camera to take lots of pictures of your friends (new and old) and their layouts.
• Ear plugs to wear at bed.  The rooms are not sound proof.  You may hear people in the bathroom or coming and going throughout the night/morning.  If you think this will disturb you, please bring along a set of ear plugs.
• Cash, cheque book and/or credit cards to shop with our vendors and to pay for your pampering sessions. 
• Extra snacks and drinks.  We will provide some drinks and most meals, but if you would like to bring munchies and favorite drinks (e.g. pop) please feel free to do so.  There are fridges available to put your drinks in.  Make sure you label your stuff.
• Alcoholic beverages, if you wish.
• Travel mug to keep your hot drinks hot.
• Re-usable water bottle - there will be a water cooler in the hall for you to refill your own water bottle.  If you tend to drink more than 6 bottles of water in a weekend, please bring along some extra bottles from home.  We try our best to bring enough water for the weekend however this is hard to judge as each retreat is different.  Thank you for your help.
• Hiking shoes.  There are many beautiful walking trails.  This is a great way to take a break from scrapbooking.
• Supplies for Cricut machine: There will be a Cricut machine available to borrow.  If you would like to use these machines, please make sure you bring your own sticky mat. We will not have these mats available for purchase at the retreat. 
• The most important thing: PHOTOS AND SCRAPBOOKING STUFF
