ranger with kids in stream
 

Campers will sleep in a cabin with 3 other campers and 2 Camp Counselors. Each camper will be provided a sleeping bag, bag liner, pillow, and pillow case to use while at camp. Each camper will have a locker for hanging and storing clothing, a shelf and a mirror.

Campers ARE NOT allowed to have any mobile devices at camp. This includes cell phones, iPads, tablets, e-readers, iPods, etc. Campers may be permitted to use the camp phone as needed. Parents may also contact the Camp Director as needed (you will be able to contact the Camp Director or Deputy Director 24 hrs/day).
