The rest of the week: drive into the parking lot and make a loop to drop your camper off to the counselors on the grassed area. Please have sun block and bug spray on your camper prior to drop off. Please do not park your car. We have much to cover each day and need to have campers dropped off efficiently so we can start our program! After drop off is complete, around 8:45 We will be putting up 2 white saw horses at our entrance to camp (these will be removed at 12:20 for pick up) This is to maintain a safe environment for the kids and to eliminate anyone who is “NOT” part of our camp program from coming onto the property while we are focusing our time on your children- which is our main priority!
