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
Make sure your luggage is labeled with your first and last name.
This should be a large label, such as a strip of tape.
Students should report to the white top (community room if
weather is inclement) by 7:45 AM with your luggage and
backpack.
As students enter, they will drop their luggage off at their cabin.
Be sure to get a cabin label from your chaperone.
Students will then report to the gym (with their backpack) until
a 5th grade teacher picks them up.
When the bell rings, all parents will be asked to leave except for
chaperones.
We will load busses beginning at 8:20 and leave at 8:30.
