Arrival & Departure
We wish you could, but you can’t stay here forever!
Arrival
Arrive for check-in no earlier than 2:00 pm and no later than 3:45pm on the opening day of your session.
Upon parking you will be welcomed to camp by our staff and directed through the check-in process. To help keep the process smooth, have ready:
-
- All luggage packed by camper–each camper’s belongings will go to their specific cabin.
- All medications in original container and ready to be turned in to the nurse.
You’ll then accompany your camper through the check-in stations:
-
- Receiving luggage tags (bits of duct tape) to stick on your luggage. The counselors will bring all luggage to the cabins where it will be waiting for the camper later. The tape denotes which cabin. We do the heavy lifting 🙂
- Screening with the medical volunteer. The nurse will collect any medicines you have brought and review your health form.
At this point it is time for hugs and kisses goodbye!
-
- Short goodbyes are best to show your children the confidence and trust you have in them being at camp and to help them focus on the fun that lies ahead.
Departure
All sessions conclude at 8:30am after breakfast. Campers must be picked up no later than 11:00 am.
At departure each camper will receive their copy of the all camp photo.
-
- Long-standing camp tradition is for campers to sign the back of each other’s photos.
- New tradition is lots of selfies.
Camper luggage will be sorted by cabins in the parking lot.
-
- After collecting all your camper’s luggage, be sure to check out with their cabin counselor.
