CHECKLIST TO PACK DAILY:
For safety and security reasons, we ask that campers leave the following items at home:
Afternoon Extended Care is provided for the week at an additional cost of $35.00 ($35.00/Week).
This ensures flexibility for parents while giving campers extra time to enjoy supervised activities in a relaxed environment.
Yes! Families have the flexibility to register for an individual week or multiple weeks based on their schedule. However, space is limited, so we recommend securing your preferred weeks early.
Note that if you only book for a week that there is a chance that your child will LOVE THIS CAMP SO MUCH they’ll want to book another week BUT due to high demand for our camp; its highly likely there may not be a seat available in the week you want to book. So book early!!!
We have a ratio of 16 campers to 2 coaches and or 8 campers to 1 coach.
