Some questions raised by parents in prior years:

• Bed bugs- We did have an incident of bed bugs in the past and camp has replaced beds since then.  The camp works hard to make sure the facilities are clean and healthy for the campers.
• Special diets- The camp does a great job meeting all dietary needs: gluten free, dairy free, vegan, vegetarian, nut free, egg free, beef free, pork free, whatever your child's need may be. It is a school facility sensitive to the needs of ALL kids. It is also a peanut free facility.
• Rain or shine- Yes, we go even if it is raining. Good quality rain gear can make it more fun and enjoyable.
• What if my kid is sick and can't make the bus? No worries. We don't want sick kids on the bus. Just let your child's teacher know and bring your child to camp when he/she is feeling better. (No fever for at least 24 hours) PLEASE DO NOT SEND A SICK KID TO CAMP.
• What if my kid gets sick at camp? We do everything we can to keep kids at camp but sometimes kids do get sick while at camp. If this happens, you will be notified immediately and required to come to camp and pick up your child immediately. We strive to make your child comfortable, but there is no place like home in this situation.
• Camp is expensive, we just can't afford to send our child…We understand. Please talk to your child's teacher directly. Financial assistance is available and we will be happy to help start the process. All assistance requests must be communicated 60 days before the trip.
• Why not go to a cheaper camp? The old adage, "you get what you pay for" comes to mind. Cost is one of the factors we consider, but student safety and educational value are important as well.
• My child takes medication, what is the procedure? No worries, many kids take either prescription or over the counter medications. You will receive a medication form for your child's pediatrician to sign authorizing a teacher or camp staff member to administer the medication. We cannot give any medication, not even a vitamin, without a doctor's order/signature on the form. All medications will need to be submitted to the office, 1 week prior to our trip, in the original package, not expired, for the nurse to organize for our trip.
• My child is nervous about the showers, what is the procedure? Kids will go to the showers with their cabin group at an assigned time. Each child gets a private shower area. They can opt to wear a swimsuit if they will be more comfortable and shower shoes (flip flops) are recommended.
• Departure and return times…We plan to depart SE at 7:45 AM on 04/14/20. Our return time is completely dependent on traffic/weather but we usually return between 2:30 and 3:30. I will contact the office from the road to provide updates on our return time. Please make arrangements to pick up your child immediately upon our return. The teachers will be tired and will want to go home and sleep.
