The safety of your child is our main priority.

We have a health officer on site 24/7. They are trained to distribute medications, treatments of minor bumps and scratches, and trained to handle any serious emergencies.

All of our staff and volunteers are background checked and interviewed. We take care in selecting and training our staff and volunteers so that every child is safe.

Whenever we are near or using the waterfront area certified lifeguards are on duty. Our lifeguards are supervised by our waterfront director who has specific training in managing of the waterfront and lifeguards.

Campers may request up to one cabin partner. We cannot guarantee more than one partner due to cabin sizes, staffing, and the distribution of ages that sign up.

Both cabin partners must write each others name down.

Both campers must be the same gender and within two grades. Please note that the older camper will be placed with the younger camper.
