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 much 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 Lela 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. If you're planning on jamming past midnight, don't.
Recording The Camp Album
Groups will be chosen on the first day of camp. Each group will, with the help of the
instructors, work out and rehearse a super cool song (you can write a song, sing, play
other instruments – whatever you want!) to record on the last day of the camp for the
Camp Album. On the day of the recording, Sam will be in charge of herding people in and
out of the “studio” so just do what she says and no one gets hurt. Each group will get two
passes on their song so it will go rather quickly. Before and after your recording time, the
other instructors will be leading jams, answering questions, and selling their incredible
recordings and instructional materials up in the Great Room. Don't miss that!
