Do you do laundry?
Laundry is done once a week, every week.

Does my child need extra money?
We recommend sending in spending money for your child to use on trips or for purchases at the camp store (Toiletries, sunscreen, batteries, etc). This money will be kept in an account for your child and any unused funds will be returned at the end of the summer.

Does she really need all that stuff on the packing list?
The packing list is a guideline to help you prepare for camp. We do laundry once a week so you do not need to pack enough clothing to last an entire summer. Please leave your fancy, expensive clothes at home. For some reason, they never seem to agree with camp life, food fights, camp outs, or any of the other wild and crazy activities we organize.

Are there any extra fees in addition to the regular camp tuition? Tuition covers all the costs of camp, regularly scheduled trips, linens, towels, 3 meals daily, canteen, and all regular camp activities. We do offer optional trips for our older campers that have extra fees, and we also recommend creating a spending money account for personal money for your child.
