Necessary Considerations
• Campers must must pack a lunch, snack, and waterbottle.
• Regarding peanuts and tree-nuts, we are not a nut free camp. However, we are a nut aware camp that will take special precautions for children with nut allergies.
• This camp is technology free. Counselors will not be using phones either! Counselors will be taking photos of campers each day and providing access to these photos at the end of each week.
• All children will need to pass a swim evaluation to swim in the pool. If you do not want your child in the pool or they do not want to go in the pool they will have other options which we can discuss on the first day of camp and throught out the week (if need be).
