WHAT TO BRING
- A $25 KEY DEPOSIT CHECK PER PERSON, payable to HBC – NO EXCEPTIONS. Your check will be returned or destroyed when you turn in your key at check out. HBC is charged $50 each for any lost keys, which is an increase over prior years.
- Your bike - If you plan on visiting attractions while cycling, touring bikes and shoes you can walk in work out the best.
- Helmet (required), spare tube, tire pump and necessary bike repair kits and tools.
- A rack and pannier on your bike will be helpful if you want to carry any wine or goodies you collect along the way. (We suggest bringing bubble wrap or something similar to protect the wine bottles). Many wineries are located nearby, so it is also easy to do a remote start ride near a place you want to visit or to return by car after riding to do some tasting and shopping.
- Any cooking utensils, plates, flatware, cups, kitchen towel, paper towels, soap, hand sanitizer, and any other equipment you may need for the kitchen (none are provided by the college), plus a wineglass and corkscrew. There is a Wegman’s grocery store nearby.
- Snacks, including extra protein sources for those who need it, or have special dietary concerns.
- Bring trash bags for your garbage, especially if you expect to be cooking in the kitchen. We will have a limited amount available in Unit #38. Small wastebaskets are provided.
- Hangers, if you plan to use the closet in your room.
- Swim suit & beach towel if desired. There is a water playground and beach in Seneca Lake State Park in Geneva. Check to confirm hours of operation.
- Personal care items, such as soap and hand sanitizer. The College provides bed linens (sheets, pillowcase and a light blanket), a pillow, and one bath towel and wash cloth. You may want to bring another towel, washcloth, and an extra blanket if the evenings are expected to be cool.We will have some extra towels available in Unit #38.
- A folding chair is recommended to enjoy hospitality social gatherings outside our Townhouses. You will be happy you brought one if you like to hang out around by the pond near our housing units (“pods”), for watching the boats on Seneca Lake, or for catching some sun out on the patio at your own Townhouse.
- Bring any lawn games you may want to share with others during social time, although none were used last year.
- A good map of the Finger Lakes area and a camera or SMART phone to capture your weekend are recommended.
- A neck lanyard if you want one for your name badge. Badges do have safety pins attached.
