Spending Money — Canteen cards can be purchased at registration for snacks and drinks. Cards will be available to purchase on the first day of camp. Approximately $15.00 to $20.00 should be sufficient for the canteen. There will be spending limits each time the Canteen is open.

Campers are kindly requested not to bring cell phones, as they can be distracting and constantly tempt campers to use and check them. However, please rest assured that we prioritize the well-being of your camper, and in case of any emergency, we will promptly notify you. All cell phones will be collected and securely stored in the office throughout the camper's stay, and can be retrieved upon departure.
In the event of an emergency, campers are permitted to use the office phones. Our dedicated directors will personally reach out to parents/guardians in situations involving emergencies, homesickness, health concerns, or disciplinary issues. If you need to pass on a message to your camper, kindly contact our office, and our staff will gladly assist you in relaying the message.
