How are cabins decided?
 Each student will complete a card with the names of
three friends that he/she would like to bunk with at
camp.
 This will be completed during science class.
 Each student is guaranteed one friend from the list,
however; we try to accommodate as many friends as
possible.
 Cabins will be announced the morning of Nov. 2
before we leave for camp.
 Chaperone children will be in a cabin with their
parents unless they are the opposite gender. For
instance, the mom of a boy will be in charge of a
cabin of girls, but her cabin with be grouped with her
son during the day.
Monday, Nov. 2

This should be a large label, such as a strip of tape.
 Students should report to the white top (community room if

 As students enter, they will drop their luggage off at their cabin.
Be sure to get a cabin label from your chaperone.
