We will only release children to the authorized adults listed on the registration paperwork. Please ensure that all designated pick-up individuals are prepared to show their ID.
Disciplinary Action
We believe in fostering a positive and supportive camp environment. However, if a camper repeatedly violates camp rules or engages in behavior that is disruptive to the camp community, we may ask the camper to leave the camp. In this case, no refund will be provided.
