Camper
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the cabins like?
Residential (overnight) campers live in cabins in groups of 6 or 7, divided
by age and sex. The boys and girls take up residence on opposite ends of the
camp, though they share the waterfront and program areas. Each cabin has 2
counselors or 1 counselor with a junior counselor. Day campers are in groups
of 7 or 8 and are assigned one counselor. Day campers have bunk space for changing
and resting.
Can I be in a cabin with my friend?
Your registration sheet includes the option to request a cabin-mate. We make
every effort to honor these requests.
Can I bring my cell phone?
No. Please leave cell phones and other personal electronics at home.
What if I get sick?
Registered nurses are on 24-hour duty at the camp
infirmary. There is also a pediatrician's office is adjacent to
the campground with pediatric care available at all times.
Do I need spending money at camp?
Money is deposited in the camp store for each camper; a suggested
amount is $15-$20 per week. This is primarily used for
snacks and toiletries. Sometimes
extra treats are purchased and deducted from store account. Campers
also will have some spending money when going on off campus trips.
