QUESTIONS ASKED BY KIDS:

If I have friends at Camp, will I be in the same group with them?
If your mom or dad specified a best friend you wanted to be in a group with, we will make every effort to put you with that friend. However, if you applied late and your friend already signed up in a group that is now full, you would not be placed in the same group as your friend. However, if another group is still open we could move you both to that group.

How will I know where to go?
Each of our 4 groups come together 10 minutes prior to the start of the first workshop in the morning. You will stay with your group and your counselor throughout the day so you never have to worry about what workshop is next or where to go! Your counselor is in charge of that.

What happens if I have to go to the bathroom during a workshop?
You can go to the bathroom or get a drink of water whenever you need to, just ask your counselor to take you. Don't worry about where the bathrooms or water fountains are because your counselor knows that. When you are done, your counselor will take you back to your workshop.

What happens during breaks between workshops?
There are two 20 minute breaks between workshops 1 & 2 and again between workshops 3 & 4. These allow the teachers to prepare for the next group and gives you time to have a quick snack if you brought one. Your counselor will supervise you. If you forget where your cubby is (which is probably where you put your snack) just ask them!

What happens during lunch?
Lunch is 1 hour long and happens between the second and third workshop of the day. For the first 20-25 minutes, everyone will eat lunch. You also get a cold juice. Then, once you are finished with lunch, you can just relax and talk with friends, play on the grass field, the large playstructure, the swings, visit our game table or just hang out with your counselor.
