Telephone Calls
We seek the counsel of parents whenever a camper is ill, abnormally homesick, or whenever something extraordinary occurs; therefore, please do not be alarmed if you receive a call from us. Be sure to indicate, in the space provided on each form (Health, Camper Application), how we may reach you during the camping season.
CALLS TO YOUR CAMPER SHOULD BE MADE ONLY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
Telephone calls to and from your camper are a real management problem for us. Since the Camp has only one main telephone line, it is important to keep the line clear for the business operation of the Camp and emergencies. Parents calling the Camp line for any other reason than a EMERGENCY will be refused to speak to the camper. Campers are not allowed to make phone calls. Only with the directors discretion will a camper be allowed to make a phone call home in extreme cases.
Visiting Camp
AT NO TIMES WILL VISITORS BE PERMITTED. The only period you can visit the camp is on Sundays when you are picking up or dropping off your camper.
Snack Shop
A camp store is maintained to provide campers with limited refreshments, chap stick, snacks, etc... Parents should leave a sum of money on deposit for their camper’s use. We recommend $15.00 to $20.00 per camper. Unspent funds are refunded upon camper's departure. Money will be collected by camper's counselor.
