Q: Does my camper need to bring spending money with them?
A: No, but we do have soda, ice cream and other drinks available for purchase with meals and throughout the day. Campers will also be able to visit the camp store on Thursday night during our dance in the evening. Although not required, We generally recommend $20. Our office will hold onto this money and keep track of spending for each camper so that it does not disappear throughout the week.

Q: Do we get out name bracelets in the mail?
A: Not this year, It is easier and more efficient if we hand them to caregivers to put onto their campers wrist once they arrive at camp.

Q: Can we bring our medications not in a bubble wrap package?
A: For safety of campers and to make check in go as fast as possible please get them bubble packed. There are a few pharmacies that will do a weeks worth of medications for you, it may just take a little calling around. We are also asking for you to get an updated print out of medications your campers are on before coming to camp so our nurses can have the most accurate information possible. This will ensure campers health and safety! This can be done at their pharmacy or their primary care provider.

Q: Where do we register when we arrive at camp?
A: Please stop at our front gate if there is someone taking names. They will radio the check in table and let us know you are here! After this we will be taking campers in the order they arrive at camp and or when their counselor is in the process of another check in or when they have completed one they are almost done with. We will call your name by the front door so find a seat/spot on the front lawn and relax while you wait to be called!
As long as the weather cooperates we will be doing check-out outside and ask that you please do not approach the check-in table unless you have been paired with your counselor. Your counselor or whomever you are paired with will be your check-in guide.
