What are the sleeping arrangements?

The boys and girls cabins are separated on the campsite and campers are not permitted to enter the cabin of the opposite sex. For their safety, campers are not permitted to leave the campground for any reason unless in an emergency situation.

Is my child safe at camp?

There is a leadership team made up of counselors, counselors in training, activities coordinator and the camp director that all help in supervising the campers.

 

Your child is primarily under the supervision of his/her camp counselor for the entire duration of the week.  The campers are split up by age and by sex into their groups and cabins. 

Does my child need money at camp?

Your child will need only a minimum amount of cash during the camp week.  The only reason he/she would need money is for the snack shop that is open in the afternoons and in the evenings during the week.  Otherwise, there is no other need for cash.
