Campers must have had a physical within the last 24 months. A doctor’s signature is required. No camper can remain at camp with out a current health form. Health forms are downloadable at our website through our Health & History form link.

If I am unable to pick up my camper on the last day is it alright if another family member or friend picks him/her up?
Yes, as long as whoever is picking them up has the “Kid Claim Card” to show the cabin counselor OR you inform the staff at the registration table on Sunday.
Can I E-mail my camper? What’s the E-mail address?
Yes you can send one way e-mails to your camper at camperemail@aol.com. Please include your campers first and last name along with the cabin number on the subject line. Campers are not allowed to e-mail or use the telephone but we encourage them to write letters and postcards.
Can I drop off packages instead of mailing them?
No, we no longer accept packages that are dropped off. PLEASE DO NOT drop off any packages during the week. We will gladly accept packages during Sunday’s registration as long as they are clearly marked with the campers name and date of delivery.
I’m worried my camper may get homesick. What does the camp do in the event of homesickness?
It is very common for children to miss home while they are away, especially first-time campers.Our counseling staff is very experienced and well trained to help campers through times of homesickness. Also, our director and program director can provide additional support to the camper. We ask that you do not promise your child that they can call home if they miss you, as this can lead to increased homesickness. If your child misses home continuously, the director or program director will be in contact with you to discuss the situation.
Can I visit my camper?
No, for the safety of all campers and staff visitors are not allowed at camp.
When do campers sign up for their activities?
On Sunday evening during our Round-Robin our resident campers will have the opportunity to sign up for their activities for the week.
If I sign up with a friend will we be in the same cabin?
Yes, if you request one friend as a bunk mate and the friend requests you and there isn’t a difference of more than two years in your ages, you’ll be together.
I have other friends that are going will I see them?
Yes. All campers and staff eat together plus there is free time during the day to play and talk with your friends and you’ll see them during activities and at evening activity.
How does the canteen work?
Money for the canteen (camp store) is included in the registration fee. Each camper has $10 to spend for the week. You can only spend $2.00 a night. Money not used is placed in our Campership Fund.
How many campers are there in a cabin and is a counselor there at all times?
There are anywhere from 10-16 campers per cabin and two counselors assigned to each cabin. The counselors sleep in the cabin at night. |
