All campers should bring a water bottle and sunscreen to camp each day. More specific information regarding additional is listed in each camp description. You will also receive an email with reminders the week before your camp begins. Raider Days and Walkabout campers should also bring a towel and bathing suit each day.

Please be sure that you have completed all required health forms before the start of camp. Keep an eye out for an informational email that you will receive the week before your camp. Check the email and be sure that you have all necessary items for camp.

Snack and lunch are provided for full-day campers. We provide a variety of healthy lunch options from the dining hall each day as well as an afternoon snack.

We have a registered nurse on-campus throughout the day to take care of any illnesses, bumps, or bruises. For overnight camps, one of our nurses is on-call 24/7.

• Our pool is fully staffed with certified lifeguards, and we maintain proper lifeguard to swimmer ratios.  Counselors are also available to assist campers outside of the pool.

• On the first day of each week of camp, campers will be given the option to take a swim test.  To be able to swim without a flotation device, campers will need to swim 25 meters unassisted.  A second test includes treading water for 1 minute to allow campers to swim in the diving well.  Campers that do not pass the swim test can enjoy the zero-entry area in the pool as well as the shallow end just off the steps.  Campers can also wear a flotation device to swim in the pool.

• If a camper has a fecal accident in the pool that results in pool closure, there will be a $120 charge to the account.

We follow all local, state, and federal guidelines including those from the Center of Disease Control (CDC) and the American Camp Association (ACA). Because of the constantly changing nature of these guidelines, we will continue to update our protocol and procedures as needed. Please visit our COVID Info section for additional details.
