What if my child gets sick or injured?

All staff are trained in first aid. If a child gets sick or injured, we will contact the parent immediately.

Can I drop my child off late or pick them up early?

We strongly encourage drop-off and pickup at designated times for a smooth experience. If necessary, please notify us in advance.

What happens in bad weather?

We monitor weather conditions daily. If severe weather is expected, we will adjust plans and inform parents.

Can my child bring a phone?

No, we want kids to be fully engaged in the adventure! In case of emergencies, staff will have phones. If your child has a phone we will keep it with staff while they are in camp.
