ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S WEEKLY SCHEDULE

You will find your child's group number, cabin number, counselor's name and phone number on the weekly roster. We urge that you call your child's counselor to discuss your child before the first day of camp. GROUP ASSIGNMENT - Check your child's group roster for his/her counselor's name, phone number and group number. You can then identify your visiting day(s) and/or twilight parties. Parents please read the Parent Handbook.

ABOUT A HEALTHY DIET AND CAMP

Most Camp Directors have a background in Education/Health and Physical Education and are as familiar with good eating habits as anyone. We try to find a balance between what children like and what they should eat. Parents are asked to help us by NOT sending sweet treats to camp with their youngsters

Parents with more than one child enrolled may visit all of their children on one official visiting day, if they wish. Parents of CITs may visit on any of the listed visiting days. If you are unable to attend your child's assigned visiting day, you may attend any of the other scheduled visiting days or contact the camp office to schedule a visit.
