Check In & Check Out

Everyone is excited for the first day of resident camp. Every effort is taken to make the check-in process as efficient as possible. However, several steps must be taken to ensure that your camper has a healthy and fun camp and safe experience. There will be forms that need to be filled out before arriving to resident camp. These will be emailed out after the registration deadline for your girl’s camp session. *Please refer to your confirmation packet for the most updated details, which will be emailed after the go-getter deadline for your camp session.

Arrival

We ask that all campers and staff members arrive to camp healthy and well! We will continue this year with the drive-thru experience and include staggered check-in times for different age levels. Check in will be a drive-thru experience where campers will be driven through stations for health screening and luggage drop-off before saying a quick goodbye in the car and hopping out to join in on the fun!

There will be an opportunity to meet the Camp Director at our Family Information Sessions, see page 2 for more information.

You can expedite the check in process by making sure your camper has her backpack with her Fab Five items listed on page 14 and the items listed below. • Wearing socks and closed-toe shoes • Complete the digital Health History and

Medication forms prior to traveling to camp.

This includes documenting any medication instructions. • Bring all medications in original containers in a

Ziplock bag. • Letters with camper’s name and the day of the week they should receive it. See more about communications with your camper on pg. 9 • Trading Post money (cash or Cookie Credit) The last stop will be meeting your camper’s Unit Leader where you can ask any last-minute questions or share any relevant information. You will receive a detailed confirmation packet with the address and phone number of the camp.

Departure

Special Arrangements

When you arrive for pick-up, staff will be there to guide you to the parking lot to park. You will be directed to the closing ceremony location. Similar to our check-in process this year, additional health and safety practices have been implemented for the safety of campers, families, and staff. You will receive your camper’s end of session pack, containing their badge report card, camp patch, any trading post money, and other pertinent information. The person picking up each camper will be required to show a photo ID. No campers will be released to unauthorized person or persons without a photo ID. You will be advised as to where you can pick up your camper’s belongings, please drive cautiously and follow traffic guidelines while exiting camp. On time pick-up eases your camper’s nerves during the anticipation of going home. If you are running late, please call the camp office, so we can let your camper know you are on your way and keep her busy until you arrive.

See Healthy and Safe Camp on page 10.

Your camper’s program activities begin immediately, and we don’t want her missing out on this valuable time to get to know her fellow campers and settle into camp life. Campers who must arrive late, depart early, or leave during a session are asked to make this request to the Camp Director prior to the camp session. Requests can be made by emailing info@girlscoutsmoheartland.org or calling 877-312-4764.
