Your child’s wellbeing is our top priority. Here's how we keep camp safe and supportive:
Campers are supervised by trained high school volunteers
All volunteers are trained in basic safety, inclusion, and child engagement
Adult supervisors will also be active every single day
Emergency contact information and allergy/health details are collected during registration
Daily sign-in/sign-out system to ensure secure drop-offs and pick-ups
We maintain a positive, no-bullying environment where every child is respected and encouraged

All campers must bring their own packed, nut-free lunch and snack each day.
We do have access to microwaves, so feel free to pack a warm lunch if needed — just make sure your child can safely reheat it with some guidance.
Please avoid:
Any food containing peanuts, tree nuts, or nut-based spreads
Items that require refrigeration or may spoil in the summer heat
In addition to packed lunches, we’ll provide small snacks like chips or gummies daily, so campers have something extra to enjoy during breaks.

If your child has any dietary restrictions or allergies, you can indicate them on the registration form so we can ensure their safety and comfort.
