  • Buses will be sanitized each morning after arriving at camp and each evening after returning to camp with a hospital grade disinfectant designated to kill SAR-CO-V2.

What advice do you have for parents looking for a camp for their child(ren)?

Camp should be a place where both the parents and campers trust the staff, feel safe, and can have fun. Camp is a great place for campers to be themselves, feel included and develop independence. Not every camp is for every camper, as a Camp Director I welcome parents to reach out and ask as many questions they need to in order to find the right fit for their child for the summer.
