WHEN YOU DEPART
When picking up your Junior age and younger camper, you will need
the detachable tab to “check-out” your child. If you forget or lose your
tab, please be sure to have photo ID. If someone else will be
transporting your camper home, please notify the camp office ahead of
time and make sure that they have the detachable tab or a photo ID.
If there are closing program or check out details specific to your camp
session, they will be available when you check-in your camper.
It is our desire that all campers stay for their entire camp
session, however we understand this may not always be
feasible. If your camper has to leave early, please inform the
camp office prior to the camp session.
Entering & Exiting Camp
To help with the flow of traffic, please enter the camp
through the main drive and exit out the back road.
