Yes. Most students with disabilities will be able to participate. We even have “off-road" wheelchairs if needed. We are not responsible for transferring students with wheelchairs into canoes, so a trained chaperone will need to accompany the student(s) at all times.
We have a certified health aide on the property, and the instructional staff is trained in first aid, CPR, and AED. We also have a nurse station equipped with anything you may need while here.
Yes, many of our indoor facilities are air-conditioned, including our cabins.
Yes! We have a private room where you can go to take care of this need.
Parents are not able to come onto the camp property with the field trips to "check it out". Please ask them not to follow the buses. However, they are welcome to attend any of our community events with the whole family, or they may schedule a tour before their child's field trip. Please have them contact us for more information.
We consider rain a beautiful part of being outdoors! We will not go indoors unless it becomes unsafe for us to be outside. We also enjoy the occasional cold weather, but we do have indoor activities if the weather becomes intolerable. We do encourage you to be prepared to stay outside for all weather.
Outdoor environments like ours will expose visitors to the potential for bug bites. We avoid walking in tall grasses but we cannot completely avoid all exposure. Feel free to bring bug spray as well as sunscreen to protect yourself.
If you feel the need to create a permission slip to include authorization for bug spray application in the event mosquitoes are really bad, it will be up to the individual school. It is really weather-dependent if they are a problem (cold and/or windy weather usually means no mosquito problem).
We can make accommodations as necessary. This decision is up to each individual campus.
