Overnight Camp Opening and Closing DAYS

Dropoff SUNDAY ~ Pick up SATURDAY

 What an exciting day!  The opening and closing of camp are some of the most special days of all.  On the first day parents will be able to meet their child's counselors, help them make their bunk, settle them in, and see where their child will be spending the next week. On closing day, campers and parents reunite, and campers get to talk about all they have learned.  We will have a brief ceremony on this day.
