There is a $15.00 handling charge for each package, collected at the end of your visit.

There is a $10.00 charge PLUS postage per item to mail packages of excess items home from VVR.

VVR at Edison Lake is approximately two hours from the nearest U.S. Post Office or the U.P.S. drop point. Because of this we only pickup packages once or twice a week. Keep this in mind when planning your package arrival date. 

Please be sure that you send your package to arrive 10-14 days before YOU arrive!

If you must send it within 2 weeks of you arrival, be sure to send it via UPS to ensure that it will arrive in time.

Note:  Although we anticipate opening by the first week of May this year, please DO NOT rely on that.  Historically, we've been open during the Memorial Day weekend.  To ensure a successful trip, please don't expect to pickup your resupply until the weekend before Memorial Day at the earliest (unless you have made special arrangements with us).

Please post you arrival date on your package along with your name. This helps us when storing your packages. We have never lost a package using this system.

Please note:  Packages are limited to 25 pounds each. Any packages left or not picked up by the specified date, will be held 30 days unless special arrangements are made. After that time period, we place the food in a hikers box for other hikers in need of extra supplies at no charge.

Packages can be returned for a $15 charge, plus postage.
