What Can We Expect at Camp Kropp?
We will be renting out an entire summer camp (Camp Sommerset) from Friday September 18 - Sunday September 20th in 2026 for our wedding! Expect camp activities, bonfire and more around the wedding events (packing list and schedule to be provided later). Guests will also have the opportunity to stay onsite the entire weekend if they choose, more info below.
What is the wedding dress code?
While we will be at a summer camp, the dress code for the ceremony and reception will be semi-formal or formal attire. For men, suits, a shirt and tie/bowtie or similar are appropriate choices. Women can opt for cocktail dresses, gowns, skirt and suit sets or similar. For the rest of the weekend, comfortable clothes such as sweatpants and sweatshirts are completely fine.
Hopefully most of the weekend events will take place outdoors so we recommend staying away from stiletto heels.
Are kids invited?
To ensure that all our guests can fully enjoy the celebration, we kindly request that this weekend be "adults only" unless we have previously spoken to you about your children specifically.
Do I have a plus-one?
When you receive a formal invitation it will indicate the number of guests included we have accounted for from your party.
What is the parking situation at Camp Somerset?
Camp Somerset has plenty of parking available for our guests. When you arrive at camp, staff will direct you to the designated parking areas.
Do I have to stay overnight at Camp Somerset?
No you do not! While we encourage all guests to take advantage of the opportunity to stay on-site, we welcome those who are local to drive up for the day, and will also have room blocks reserved at two local hotels. Your presence on our special day means a lot to us, and we want to make sure you feel welcome to celebrate with us in whatever capacity works best for you.
What are the Camp Somerset accommodations like?
All Camp Somerset cabins were built in 2020 and have electricity, as well as private bathrooms and showers. Guests will stay in a cabin with their plus-one or immediate family/friends. We encourage you to please reach out to us directly with any other lodging related questions!
If I am staying at a hotel, can I join for all the camp activities?
If you are staying at a hotel, we would love for you to join in on the camp activities to the fullest extent possible! While some specific experiences are reserved for paying Camp Somerset guests, we have planned various events that are open to all of our guests. You are more than welcome to attend the welcome dinner on Friday, join us for the wedding festivities on Saturday, and participate in any of the camp recreation events.
How do meals work?
For all those staying with at Camp Somerset, meals are fully included in your stay! We will provide a welcome dinner on Friday night, brunch and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday morning. We will also have snacks available throughout the weekend. For those who choose to stay elsewhere, you are welcome to join us for the Friday night welcome dinner and the Saturday night reception dinner.
I want to stay at camp, but have mobility concerns. How easy is it to get around?
We will have golf carts available for the weekend to shuttle guests who require extra assistance to and from different activities.
Can I bring outside alcohol to camp?
We have taken care of all alcohol for Friday and Saturday nights. However, if you wish to bring your own alcohol for any reason, we kindly request that you stick to beer/seltzers in cans.
What should I bring with me for the weekend?
We will be providing an extensive packing list for the weekend. Please reach out to us directly if you have any additional questions!
Is there a designated smoking area at Camp Somerset?
Camp Somerset is a smoke-free facility. We kindly request that you leave the property if you need to smoke, as we will be charged by the venue for any smoking on-site.
Can I arrive early or extend my stay?
We have made arrangements for all guests to arrive at camp at 3pm on Friday, September 18 and depart at 12pm on Sunday, September 20. Fortunately, Camp Somerset can be flexible with guest arrival/departure. We kindly ask that you let us know at least 2 weeks before our wedding weekend if you will need to arrive early or leave late, so we can ensure the proper accomodations.
What is included in the fee to stay at Camp Somerset?
We are so excited to share this special weekend with all of our friends at family! We have taken care of all costs associated with activities and meals for the weekend. Each guest will be responsible for paying their "overnight fee", which will include a two-night stay at Camp Somerset, two delicious brunch spreads, and unlimited access to camp, including late-night bonfires. This cost helps cover the fixed expenses imposed by the camp for each guest's stay, enabling us to offer this unique experience at a reasonable price. To ensure an easy check-in/out process for all guests, we do require you to stay 2 nights at Camp. If you would like to stay at Camp, but are concerned about the cost, please reach out to us directly.
What happens in the case of inclement weather?
While we hope for a sunny weekend, we do have contingency plans in place in case of weather. Camp Somerset offers a variety of indoor spaces that will be utilized if needed. Rest assured that we will do our best to adapt to any weather conditions and provide a memorable celebration for everyone.
