Meal Info
Lunches and afternoon snacks are provided for all campers. Breakfasts and dinners are
provided for sleepover campers only. Sunday brunch is for everyone.
Night Events
All campers are welcome and encouraged to take part in evening activities regardless of
day camp or sleepover status.
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.
