Cost for treatment of injuries and/or hospitalization is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. We will have your insurance information from your online registration.

- When you go through the check-in process, make certain that you stop at the Athletic Trainers table and discuss your child’s medication.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RESIDENT AND COMMUTER?
• A resident camper sleeps in the dorms with us at night and a commuter camper leaves after the final session each day to sleep off campus with family or friends.
WHAT IS PROVIDED IN THE DORM ROOMS?
• Two beds, two desks, two chairs, a blanket, a pillow, a dresser, and a sink. The showers and bathroom are down the hall, and you should bring appropriate clothes and shoes to go back and forth. NO towels are provided.
WHAT SHOULD CAMPERS BRING TO CAMP?
• All campers should bring a reusable water bottle, snacks, and extra cash (for camp store). Overnight campers should bring shower towels, toiletries, and any additional bedding (sheets, pillow, blanket) they prefer.
HOW ARE DORM ROOMMATES ASSIGNED?
• When you fill out your online registration, there is a place to request a roommate. If two campers request each other and the applications are submitted more than two weeks before the camp start date, it will happen. If the roommate request is left blank, we will assign a roommate attending the same camp and near the same age. If you request a roommate late, we will do our best to accommodate but cannot guarantee it will happen.
