To do List For
Registration Day
ALERT: Temperatures are going to be unseasonably low for this time of the year. Bring warm clothes for you and your dog!
Hello Wild Blue Dog Campers!
This memo gives you a detailed list of what you will need to do for registration day. Please read and follow these guidelines for a smooth as silk process for you and your dog. If you are staying at the Beach Retreat & Lodge, please check in there first. Check in at the Beach Retreat will start at 4pm, you can try to check in early but your room may not be ready yet.
From the center of town you will turn left on HWY 50, go past the casinos and turn left at Kahle. If you are coming from the Nevada side you will turn right on Kahle. Turn left on Laura and right where the street dead ends. You will drive down a skinny road behind some houses to a gate.
Please turn your wi-fi on your mobile phone on. At 4 pm on Monday, September 16 you will receive a text on the mobile number that you gave us on your registration form. This text will give you the gate code to the 4H facility. Only registered campers are allowed on the 4H grounds. Sorry-no visitors, no exceptions.
Pull up to the gate & put your car in park or neutral. Slowly enter the gate code & wait for the gate to open.
Drive SLOWLY down the road toward the lodge and park in either marked parking spaces, or along the left side of the road.
PUT YOUR DOG'S LEASH ON BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR! Dogs must remain "On Leash."
Your dog's good behavior is up to you! DO NOT let your dog run loose.
Keep space between yourself and other campers, your dog & other dogs. We want to make all 2 legged & 4 legged campers comfortable. We have lots of puppies coming to camp this year so we all need to work to make sure they do not get too intimidated or frightened. They can sniff & greet each other later.
Find a place away from other dogs & campers to secure your dog while you complete the registration process. You can also leave them in your car while you complete registration. Just make sure your windows are down enough to allow for a breeze (but not so open that your dog can escape) and you have some shade.
You will register in front of the main lodge. You will sign some releases, double check a few things (like your mobile number, etc), and best of all-get your SWAG BAG! If you are staying on-site at the 4H facility you will receive your cabin assignment.
I know it is tempting-it is my favorite place on earth- but paperwork comes first. Do not wander the grounds prior to registering.
You will have lots of time to enjoy the lake. The Beach will be open from 4pm to 5pm, and ONLY if you have completed your registration. Again, your dog must stay on a leash.
Yappy Hour begins around 5:00. We will be serving non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Dinner will be served around 6:00.. If you cannot arrive in time for dinner, be sure to stop and get something along the way. The kitchen does not remain open.
Immediately following dinner we will have a brief discussion on how to get the most out of your camp experience. This Q & A session is mandatory. I promise to keep it as brief as possible.
