What are the cabins like?
The cabins are very rustic and hold 6 to 10 people in bunk beds in a dorm-like room. The cabin clusters are spaced in different areas around these desert grounds. Each cluster of three of four cabins has a bathroom facility nearby with sinks and toilets. There is a centrally located building that has several shower areas for showering. Since the cabins clusters are located in various areas, this building is more distant from the cabins than are the toilets and water outlet/faucets. We encourage people to bring solar showers. Each participant will need to bring their own bedding (including pillows, sheets, blankets or sleeping bag) and towels. We recommend warm bedding. The cabins are unheated. Spring at Oracle can have variable weather – usually the weather is mild but the nights might be chilly. For those individuals coming from overseas, if you need help, we will try to provide you with sleeping bags, and towels. If you need these, please contact Pirkko Miller at Pirkkobear@aol.com.
We have three different villages of cabins: The Ridgetops, The Lakesides, and The Adventure Cabins. The Ridgetops and Lakesides are used by our traditional program and have similar amenities. Running heated water, electricity, heat, private, individual showers, and toilets are all present in each of the cabins. Air-conditioning is not needed due to the cooler temperatures in the evenings here at camp. The Adventure Cabins are used for our Adventure programs and are much more primitive than the other cabins. Adventure cabins have running water, toilets, and electricity. They utilize shower houses that are in close proximity of the cabins. Shower houses have private, individual stalls for camper use.
