Money
For the entire camp season, your son should not bring more than $50.00. He will only need $15.00 (lunch money for the trip up and back, and money for an extra ice cream when his group goes out).

Food&Health
Please note that no food or snacks should be sent up during the camp season.
Please let us know in advance of any needs (inhalants, pills, or any medication) that your son has.


Phone-calls policy
You may call your son twice a week only, for no more than 5 minutes at the following times:
8:00-9:00 a.m. 1:00-1:55 p.m. 6:00-7:00 p.m.

This policy is in place because there are 65 people at camp and business calls need to be received. The students will be allowed to make one 5 minute call per week.

Calling Cards will be provided by the camp this year.
