Dear Coast Runners and Parents of Coast Runners NORTH,
GREETINGS FROM THE COAST RUNNERS!!! As we start gearing up for this
awesome adventure we have some information for you. Coast Runners is a tad different
than our traditional camp experiences in that we will be living out of a church bus and
camping at campgrounds every night. So leave your box fans, cell phone chargers, and
extension cords at home because we won’t be needing them! Camp Don Lee will be
providing tents for everyone, cooking gear, and campsite necessities for the week, but you
are in charge of bringing your personal gear.
Each day has been planned out for optimal adventure and fun. You will need some
sort of river/ water shoes (Tevas, Chacos, Crocs, Keens, or any other outdoor water shoe
would work fine). There will be time to change shoes when we get back to our camp site
each night, so you are more than welcome to bring tennis shoes. Also it will be imperative
that you come prepared with lots of sunscreen, bug spray, rain gear, and a good attitude!
We will be spending at least an hour each day on the bus, so bring what you’ll need
to enjoy your air-conditioned and personalized bus tour of the Outer Banks of North
Carolina . We are allowing personal music listening devices, but should they become an
issue the Don Lee Staff will keep them safe until the trip returns at the end of the week.
There will probably not be anywhere to charge cell phones- especially at the beginning of
the week, so please consider whether you want to bring your cell phone (if you choose to
bring a cell phone, it will be each camper’s own responsibility to keep up with it. The trip
will not go back for lost or missing phones! )
We have included a packing list as. Please bring the your HEALTH FORM, COPY OF
INSURANCE, personal money, and CONSENT FORMS (details on the packing list) with you
to check in at Camp Don Lee on July 24th.
MAJOR CHANGE: Check in for Coast Runners North will begin at 10:00am
SHARP Sunday Morning, July 24th. We are going to be heading to Ocracoke that
afternoon to be able to camp that night. Please make your plans so that you are
here at 10:00am Sunday, July 24th.
We are eager to get the trip underway! If you have any questions please leave a
message for Genny, the Summer Programs Coordinator about Coast Runners 252-249-1106
extension 27. We will be sure to return your call as promptly as possible.
Sincerely,
Genny Nadler
