AT CAMP

Add a description about this category

Can we bring our priest / religious to camp?

Absolutely! We welcome and highly encourage it! Priests attend camp for free. All other clergy/seminarians serving as chaperones must pay the full camp price. *We cannot guarantee separate housing for seminarians.

Can my chaperones bring their young children to camp?

We value families and love to see them on our campus. If room is available we can accommodate non-camper children in camper housing. Your group must have enough chaperones staying with your teens and your group leader must approve. Additional housing is not included in the camp price. The cost is $50/ child. Once a child has reached the age of campers, they are not allowed to attend as part of a family, they must attend as campers or not at all.

I have food allergies, can you accommodate these?

We try our best to accommodate food allergies. It is imperative that you inform the camp as far in advance as possible. It is recommended that the person bring supplemental snacks for themselves.

What happens if a camper gets homesick?

For those campers who experience homesickness, in most cases it quickly passes as the camper becomes busy with activities and making new camp friends. However, sometimes homesickness does not pass or a child may not be ready to attend a full week of overnight summer camp.

What happens if a child goes home mid-week.

While campers should come to camp with the intention of spending the entire week, should your child experience homesickness, an illness, or any of similar situations, please be assured that we will contact you and we’ll discuss a plan on how to best respond to the situation at hand. Please note that refunds will not be available for campers who leave early. Our camp staff and all accommodations for your camper have already been expensed in expectation of your camper’s arrival at camp.
