• You may contact us via email or phone with any questions or concerns. Please note, all communication will be replied to within one camp day, during camp hours.
• We are not responsible for campers lost items, please ensure they are labeled and you discuss keeping track of personal belongings with your child. Counselors will aid but should not be expected to keep track of all campers belongings. We do have a lost & found located under the pavilion.
• Please ensure you have notifications on for your ‘REMIND’ app and email. This is where you will receive camp updates. Any big updates due to weather-related location changes or an adjustment in ETA coming back from a trip will also be posted on Facebook and our website.

Trips

• In general, camp groups may split up into smaller groups at places like Quassy
