Please call the INFO-Line or sign up on our website to receive cancellations or adjustments to

the schedule.

Also, we are protecting and caring for someone’s most precious commodity, their children.

Please respect these rules and understand why we cannot have "outsiders" entering our

playgrounds and facilities. Please check with your child’s camp director regarding the pick-up

of your child by someone other than yourself. There are procedures in place at every camp and
