Safety routines
Water days
Monday and Wednesday are water days. Every camper in the water wears a life jacket, a lifeguard watches from the deck, and a counselor is beside each camper who wants one.
Support planned with you
Before the first day we talk with your family by phone and write down what helps your camper. Counselors read the plan each morning.
A quiet hour
After lunch the lights go low. Campers choose a book, music with headphones, drawing or a rest, in the shade or in the quiet room.
Sun, shade and heat
Every stop has shade and water. The busiest blocks are in the cooler morning, and on a very hot day activities move indoors and we text families.
Medicine and allergies
Tell us at registration, and we ask what we need privately. Staff trained in medication keep it and give it, and a camper who feels ill stays with a counselor until you arrive.
Sign-in and pickup
An adult on your list signs your camper in and out at the front path, and we ask for ID until we know you.
