Parents can visit any day. Give us a call beforehand, if at all possible, so that we will be able to bring you to wherever your child’s group is when you arrive.
Do you allow campers or staff to use cell phones or other digital media devices during camp?
No. We want our campers to connect with new friends, with the natural world, with themselves, and we would like to minimize obstacles that could get in the way of these things happening.

No. But we always encourage and support campers in trying new things.
