Q. Where will my child stay?
We have a variety of rustic cabins to provide an authentic camping experience. The campus is divided into the “Boys Side” and “Girls Side” with each side having a row of cabins and cottages. Your child will have a Cabin Mom who is in charge of their particular cabin and will ensure that the child has prepared for bed, brushed his/her teeth, said bedtime prayers etc.

Upon registration please print out and sign the Medical Release Form which also has instructions on the proper way to send medicine to camp. These details must be followed exactly so that we can properly and legally administer your child’s medication.
