FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Thank you for your interest in the hottest camp in town! To prepare for the best summer you've ever had, we have put together this information to ensure that the camp will be both FUN and successful. Please review this information with your child before camp so that everyone is ready for a great summer.

Drop-Off & Pick-Up
Drop-off time is between 7:30am and 8:30am. The main gate will be open for camper check-in during this time. Group activities begin at 8:30am so please be on time so you don't miss any of the FUN!

Pick-up will be from 4:00pm - 6:00pm. To assure the safety of our campers we will require a driver's license for identification to release your camper to individuals you have authorized on your registration form. Using a two-way radio, your arrival is announced. Your child will meet the authorized driver at the designated drop off/pick up area.

Lost & Found
Campers are responsible for their belongings. Our recreation leaders will do their best to ensure that campers keep up with clothing, shoes and gear. Please check with the staff member at pick-up if your camper has lost something. Items are donated to local charities after one week.

Swim Test
Each camper is required to take a swim test on Monday. They are required to swim approximately 50 meters to determine the water safety skills of all campers. Successful completion allows the camper to swim in the deep end of the swimming area, if not they are restricted to the shallow area. We provide a variety of water toys and games to keep every camper active!


Discipline
Our goal is to have every camper share in the positive experiences our camp has to offer. Please review the following expectations with your child. Campers with behavior that put themselves or others in danger are warned, then disciplined, and finally asked to leave camp.

Team Building
Our camp prides itself on team building! Remember the word team stands for:
Together
Everyone
Achieves
