How will you communicate important camp information with parents?

Most camp communication is done through the Procare app. Parents must download the app to get real-time messages to the campground regarding their child. Parents will be contacted via phone in the case of serious or emergency situations regarding your child. We will send out weekly newsletters with important information pertaining to your child’s week including field trip information, swim schedules, and more.

Do campers swim every day?

Each camper will have a swim schedule they will follow each week.  The schedule will remain consistent for the summer. Please refer to the weekly newsletter for your child’s group swim days/times. The days campers attend field trips, they will not swim.
