Leadership:

A Safe Place for Children:

Campers are fully supervised throughout the day.

Camp leaders are trained in First Aid and CPR, have completed a criminal record check and have received a minimum of sixteen hours of training.

Camp Schedules:

For most camps, you will be emailed a schedule including parent information, the Wednesday before the camp begins. Schedules will indicate items your camper should bring to camp each day.

Please note that schedules are subject to change.
