  • To receive a cabin assignment on Check-In, your camper must have the following completed and uploaded to your online account:
    • Health History Form
    • Physician’s Examination form, with a copy of your health and prescription insurance card
      (Note: both front and back of card must be copied)
    • Activity form
    • Letter to My Cabin Leader form
    • Payment in full
  • Campers should arrive between Noon and 2 PM
  • Lunch will not be served on Check-In day, so please be sure to eat before arriving at Camp.
  • Cabin assignments will be given out starting at Noon on Check-In day. Please DO NOT arrive early: our staff will not be ready for you, and your wait time will only increase.
  • Parking is on the Athletic Field, where you will meet our staff.
  • Swim tests, camp tours as a cabin-group, and other activities for all campers will begin at 2:00 PM. All parents should leave Camp at this time, so their children can begin making new friends.
  • Anyone with missing health forms will need to meet with the nursing staff in the Infirmary, before they can receive their cabin assignment.
  • If you have any medications (prescription and over-the-counter), proceed to the Pavilion with your child and their medications for a quick check-in with the nurses regarding dosage. If there is a long line, you may check in at the Health Check Area first. All medications must be in their original containers, with instructions printed on the bottle.
  • Campers who have no medications can proceed directly to the Health Check Area with a parent, for a quick general health and head lice check. Once your camper is cleared at the Health Check Area, he/she will receive a pass to move into their cabin.
  • Visit the Camp Store, open on Check-In days.
  • Please NO DOGS at check-in.
  • Park your car on the Athletic field at the front of Camp.
  • Sign out your child at his/her cabin.
  • Pick up any unused medication at Dining Hall Front Porch.
  • At your camper’s cabin, please check shelves, under beds, the outside clothesline, and any clothes hung up, to make sure you have everything. 
  • Check all lost and found locations (bath houses, cabins, and the fence near the main gate).
  • Due to the overwhelming amount of Lost & Found, we do not have enough staff to sort through belongings left behind. All Lost & Found is donated to charity at the end of each session.
  • Camp vehicles will transport trunks and bags back to the athletic field. You will find your child’s gear located at the corresponding cabin post. Pay special attention to laundry bags & pillowcases. These are items that seem to be left behind most frequently.
  • Visit the Camp Store, open on Check-Out days.
  • Please NO DOGS at check-out.
  • Upon your arrival between 11 AM – Noon, you will be greeted by the entrance road and directed where to park your vehicle on the athletic field. Families are asked to mark their camper’s name and cabin number on each item of luggage (cabin assignments are posted at 11 AM). There will be numbered posts, according to cabin number, placed on the perimeter of the parking lot.
  • Staff will help you unload any suitcases, trunks or duffel bags and bring to the appropriate cabin number. Unload the rest of your child’s light gear and carry it with you. The trunks/bags placed on the athletic field are marked and will be delivered to the proper cabin.
  • If your child has any medications (prescription and over-the-counter) proceed to the Pavilion to see the nurses and review dosage information.
  • Campers who have no medications can proceed directly to the Health Check Area with a parent, so that we can conduct a general health and head lice check. Once your camper is cleared at the Health Check Area, he/she will be given a pass to move into the cabin.
  • Families should be leaving Camp by Noon to allow their children time and space to start making new friends and get together with their counselors before camper lunch at 12:30PM.
  • If you have any questions or concerns on Check-In or Check-Out, the Camp Directors are available to speak to you and can be found in Main Camp.
