All items will be returned on the last day of their child’s scheduled camp or program.
What does my child need to bring to camp? In addition to bringing a water bottle, we suggest participants bring a small backpack to hold all of their belongings. Hawk Ridge Campers are to bring an extra change of clothes, a towel, a bottle
of sunscreen, and a swimsuit to camp. Participants attending an athletic workshop, or camp will need to bring necessary items associated with that particular sport. All participants and campers are required to bring a water bottle with them to camp or their program each day.

Detailed information will be provided in an email a few days prior to your child’s scheduled offering start date. Please be sure to check your email address that is listed on your account.
