Parent Information
Whether you are sending your child to camp for the first time or the fifth time, it can be both an exciting and nerve-wracking experience for you and your child. Check out our FAQ and Parent Packet to find important information that will help you be as prepared as possible.

Keep Cool at Camp
When weather reports indicate an unhealthy heat index or poor air quality, we adjust our camp day to safeguard campers from dehydration and overexposure to sun and heat. We provide cool, indoor or shaded places for camp activities, provide frequent water breaks and monitor sun exposure.
