Family policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

Send a swimsuit under clothes, a swim shirt if your camper likes one, a towel, a dry change, a hat with a brim and closed-toe shoes. Sunscreen goes on at home. Everything carries your camper's first name, including any chair, walker or other equipment.

Water days are Monday and Wednesday. Every camper in the water wears a life jacket that we fit in the shed, a lifeguard watches from the deck, and a counselor is beside each camper who wants one. Tell us on the call how your camper feels about the water, and we plan from there.

An adult on your list signs your camper in and out at the front path, and we ask for ID until we know you. Tell us ahead of time when someone new is coming.

A camper with a fever stays home. If a camper feels ill at camp, we call you, and a counselor stays with them until you arrive.

Lunch and snacks come from home, in a cold pack. We don't share food between campers, and we ask on the call about any allergy to plan for it.

Camp closes for severe weather and for the Fourth of July. We text and call families early in the morning, and we say whether a missed day can move to another week.

Campers don't use screens at camp. Phones and tablets stay at home or in the bag, and a camper who uses a device to communicate keeps it with them.
