Important Notes:
Campers must wear the camp t-shirt every day for easy visual identification as the groups move through their daily activities. They will get one t-shirt the first day of camp and you can purchase additional t-shirts if needed.
Laundry
Camp fees include one load of laundry (washer, dryer and detergent) for the 2 week session. Laundry day is on Sunday, half way through the session. Make sure your child has enough clean clothing for the first week. Counselors may help campers to do their laundry.
Communicating with Campers
Campers can contact their parents anytime during their free time either by phone or email using their own phone or the camp’s phone/computer.
Parents contacting their children:
For non-emergencies please send a letter to your child/children by email to [email protected] our staff will pass the message along.
This method helps us keep the camp line available for emergency situations, it also helps your children integrate better and faster at camp. You may also request a phone call from your child by email.
For emergencies, please call or email us. The camp line is open 24/7, however avoid nonemergency calls after 10 pm and before 8 am as our staff also need a good rest.
