Camp Bank

How does the camp bank work?

At camp check in you will be asked if you want to deposit any money into the camp bank.  This is strongly encouraged if the camper will be purchasing any snacks, pizza, drinks, or camp apparel from the camp store.  The store will not be set up to make cash sales.  Whenever a camper purchases an item from the camp store it will be deducted from their balance.  At the end of camp the balance will be returned to the camper.

How much money should we put in the camp bank?

This really varies.  Campers in the past have put in anywhere from $10 - $100.  If a camper runs out during the week they may deposit more money if possible.  Also, any money that is not spent will be returned to the camper at the end of the session.

General

Will there be a trainer available at camp?

Yes we will have a certified ATC on staff for camp.  They will be at each session and will work hard to communicate with parents in treating injuries that occur at camp.

My son is allergic to Peanuts. Can he have a specialized diet?

Yes.  Our Dining Hall staff can prepare special meals.  Please contact us and we can put you in touch with our dining hall.

Will the pool be open during camp?

Due to construction on the new fitness center, pool, and arena we can not guarantee that the pool will be available in the summer of 2017.

Are parents allowed to attend and observe camp?

Parents may attend any of the sessions that fit into their schedule.  We ask that when observing the camp in Hitchcock Arena that you watch from the track whenever possible.  This will keep the gym floor as clear as possible.
