Mini Camp – Parent Registration

Parents Camp at Mini Camp- June 15th -17th 

We are inviting any parent of a mini camper to Parents Camp. This event will run concurrently with the Mini Camp for ages 7-9. 

There are a few things you need to know! 

• 1 parent and optional 2nd child (under the age of 4) 

• This is allowing parents to be close and available in the case of emergency 

• This is providing parents with their own camp curriculum and activities while allowing parents to observe meals and large group functions of their children from a distance. 

• There is very limited internet connectivity available. Parents should not expect to “work” remotely for this time. 

• NO ALCOHOL allowed at any time 

• This is NOT allowing parents to attend the camp and camp activities with their campers 

• There will be separate activities and events for the youth and the adults 

• Parents will NOT be allowed in camper cabins at any time after drop-off and before pick-up of the mini camp. This is a liability issue with other campers 

• Parents and campers will NOT bunk in a shared cabin. Campers need to bunk in the bunkhouse with the counselors to truly have a “camp experience”
