We want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to come see us at camp! We do understand that it is a long drive for a short day (and for some, just a few days before 1st month campers go home) but we have heard that the visit is worthwhile. We are so proud of our beautiful setting and our amazing staff. We hope you enjoy every minute of your camp experience!

Please be patient with our parking process. We do not promise to be fast, but we do promise to be fair and safe.
Our gates open at approximately 11:00 a.m. and we hope to have everyone parked before noon. Please follow the directions of our camp greeters and parking staff.
Once your car is parked, we ask that it remain that way until you wish to leave camp. To preserve the safety of your children and our visitors, cars are not to be driven anywhere around camp. You may notice that some areas are blocked off with chains, picnic tables, canoes, or garbage cans – please do not try to cross these lines as they demarcate “No Driving Zones” at camp.
Campers are excited to see their families! If you have any difficulty finding your camper amidst the excitement, please come to the office where you will be connected with them.
Colour and Comic campers can be collected just outside the building called the Omni. Zodiac campers can be collected just outside the building called the Warehouse. Seekers will be in Agora, and our CITs will be in the new CL.
Every summer, the camp office is inundated with packages sent up to campers. This is a reminder that we ask families NOT to send packages to campers.
The only exception to this rule is in the case of birthdays–parents may send a package to be given to their camper on their birthday, and should be labelled clearly as such.
We understand the desire to want to bring things for your child on Visitor’s Day, and spoil them with items they may miss while away at camp! Nonetheless, we respectfully ask that you continue to follow our Food and Package Policy.
Here are a couple of reminders:
PLEASE NOTE: Products containing peanuts in the ingredients, bottled water of any kind, and cases of pop are strictly banned and will be confiscated.
Due to the number of campers that ask to show off their skills at ski, a random selection of campers is made. A schedule is created and posted in the dining hall, at ski, and the cork boards by the office. Everyone is invited to come watch the skiing, but only those on the list should ask to ski.
