Meal Info
Lunches and afternoon snacks are provided for all students. Breakfasts and dinners are
provided for sleepover campers only.
Night Events
All campers are welcome and encouraged to take part in evening activities regardless of
day camp or sleepover status. We do ask that parents of day campers be as responsible for
their own child's transportation as possible – we appreciate the help!
Camp Cup
Every camper gets one red solo cup for the week of camp – put your name on it and make
sure it never leaves your sight! Remember, if you lose it, you have to walk to the mailbox
and wait for your parents to come get you. If you need it washed, deliver it to Miss Missy
and she will take care of it.
Curfew
Please be in bed at a reasonable hour. A reasonable hour is when camp adults tell you it's
time to go to bed. Please remember that this camp takes place during weekdays and we like
to respect our neighbors' need to wake up for work. If you're planning on jamming late,
rock on, just keep it inside.
