This day is both exciting and challenging for parents and children.

Arrival times are based on the first letter in your camper's last name:

• A-G arrival time between 9:00AM-10:00AM(EDT)

• H-O arrival time between 10:00AM-11:00AM(EDT)

• P-Z arrival time between 11:00AM-12:00PM(EDT)

Our staff will greet you at the entrance to Eagle’s Nest and direct you to park your car and then check-in. After you’ve completed this process, you and your child will walk to the cabin to meet the counselors and begin the transition. Parents and guardians are invited to spend a brief period of time at the cabin meeting the counselors and seeing the cabin. Please use this time to establish the transition of care to the counselors and hug your child goodbye. We'll whisk them away for a Health Hut and lice screening while you head back to your car. If you feel that this transition will be difficult, please make a “goodbye” plan with your child before coming to camp and stick with that plan! We can help.
