Last Minute Camping Details




Some final details from our camp coordinator:
  • The Pool will be closed this weekend due to the expectation of cooler temperatures.  No need to bring towels or bathing suits.
  • The First Aid station will be located at the "Chatham House" also known as Troop House.  It will be staffed by a Registered Nurse and a Certified EMT.
  • Our girls will be participating in stream exploration.  They will get wet to their knees.  Please pack a pair of water shoes or old shoes that can get WET!!  If you pack rain boots, know the water may go above the boot line and your girl will need a new pair of socks.
  • Campers should pack one backpack and one plastic trash bag with their sleeping bags/pillow/stuffed animal in it.  Wear layers.  Rain coats or ponchos only; NO UMBRELLAS! 
  • Please bring reusable water bottles with you, especially for between meal times.
  • No additional food should be brought to camp unless you had contacted the coordinator with a food allergy or intolerance problem.  If this is an issue for you, please let me know.  Extra food attracts animals and bugs, and is discouraged.
  • Beverages are available during meal times. (Iced tea, lemonade, juices, water and milk.)
  • Girls must always have a buddy and/or an adult to go with them to the bathroom or anywhere else.  No girl will ever go alone.
  • Please bring a flashlight, so you can see when walking to and from night time activities.  I have a nightlight for the cabin.
  • Overnight campers may use your assigned cabin bathrooms after checking in on Saturday, Day campers may use the bathrooms at the troop house.
  • No open toe shoes, flip-flops, crocs or sandals are allowed at camp.
  • The trading Post will be open at various times during the weekend, and all girls will be allotted time to go.  If you choose to send money, generally approximately $5.00 would be a suitable amount, with the least expensive item being $1.00 and the most expensive item being $28.00 for a hoodie sweatshirt. 
  • If you send money with your child, please place it in a Ziploc baggie with their name on it and let the troop leader know, so that nothing gets lost. 
  • The cabins have bathrooms with flushable toilets and sinks.  There are electric outlets in each cabin.

CHECK-OUT INFORMATION

  • Day Campers Check Out starts at 6:45 p.m. at the Dining Pavilion.  Day Campers are encouraged to join us for the 7:00 pm Campfire & S'mores and participate in the 8:30 pm skits in the Pavilion.  All Day Campers must be off property before Quiet Hours Start at 10:00 p.m.
  • Breakfast is at 8:15am on Sunday.
