FAQs
Who should attend these weekends?
The weekend is open to Prospective Campers in Grades 1-5.
What will my Prospective Camper eat?
Prospective Campers will enjoy 4 classic camp meals over the weekend, likely Grilled Cheese, Chicken Tenders, French Toast Sticks, and Pizza! There are always allergy-friendly options available.
Each meal also has alternatives for more selective eaters, such as a salad bar, sandwich bar, pasta, etc.
What should we pack?
We will send you a full packing list in the weeks leading up to the weekend!
We provide clean linens (sheets, pillow, blanket, towels, and washcloth) for all Prospective Campers, but if they have a favorite pillow and blanket or like a very large bath towel – might be a good idea to throw them in the car for the weekend.
