Our very talented teachers and counselors are ready to make your child’s summer experience fun and memorable. To help you get started on the right foot, we have included a list of items your child will need for the first day of camp. · · · · · · · · ·

Please bring your child to camp every day wearing a bathing suit and a layer of sunscreen already applied. Your child should wear clothes over his or her swim suit. Please send in a bag with fresh underwear. The wet bathing suit will be put into the bag at the end of swim and sent home daily.

We suggest placing an icepack in his/her lunch box to keep items cool. If you have purchased a lunch from the camp, it will be delivered to our area. We are looking forward to meeting you and your child at your car door every morning. Please do not get out of your car while dropping off or picking up in the Quad. You are also welcome to park your car in the main parking lot and walk with your child to the Leas Hall entrance. Should you have any further questions please feel free to call or email. We are excited about the projects we will do and all the new friends we will make!
