Drop-off & pick-up will be in the game room each day. For your child’s safety, parents/ guardians are required to sign their child in at the beginning of each day and sign them out at the end of the day. This is a great opportunity to check in with counselors about what is happening for the day and also double checking that everything went smoothly during the day. Please allow an extra 10 or 15 minutes on the first day, to complete a Camper Registration Form.
