Food: all children should bring their own peanut free lunch and 2 snacks. We will have morning and afternoon snack times.

No. We are trying to keep our camps as safe and affordable as possible, so families are asked to bring their own peanut free lunches and 2 healthy snacks.
Our carefully selected staff is sensitive to the needs of the individual camper. All full time staff are screened and oriented by our experienced leadership during orientation week. Also, all staff are certified in CPR and first Aid. Most staff are experienced in working with children. We aim to have a 5:1 child to staff ratio or better. All volunteers and staff must pass our application process including an interview and a criminal background check. Only staff who are trained and certified are allowed to run the rock climbing wall. Your child’s safety is our top priority.
