Ask for the current packing list. Plan for comfortable play clothes, appropriate shoes, a labeled water bottle, and any day-specific swim or field-trip items. Label personal belongings.
How do awards and points work?
Campers begin at zero Campus Credits. Staff recognize positive choices, participation, and leadership, and can deduct points for behavior concerns. Weekly and summer recognition celebrate growth and effort.

Camper QR badges or wristbands are issued and collected by counselors daily and stored at camp.
Will there be a graduation?
A final-week celebration is planned with personalized camper diplomas and families invited. The exact date, time, and details will be announced.
CAMPER OF THE WEEK
A championship for character.
The Camper of the Week belt makes positive choices something to celebrate. We recognize leadership, a great attitude, helping others, participation, and improvement — alongside a weekly certificate that families can keep.
The belt is a reusable award and must be returned the following week for the next winner. Summer 2027 operates at one camp location on Soutel Drive.
