What should my camper wear?
Campers should wear comfortable clothing in which they can paint, move, and play.
Masks are optional during camp, both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Do campers bring their own lunch/snacks?
Campers have a supervised lunch period each day. Full-day campers should bring a lunch, drink, and two snacks.
Campers are not allowed to share food and allergy alerts are always taken into account.
Does my camper’s age matter?
Camps are for students ages 6-16. Students should be the appropriate age for the camp during the week in which they are participating.
We believe participating in the age-appropriate camp is important because:
The age ranges are broad already
The quality of camps remains higher if we stay true to the ages
Participating campers are closer to the same age socially
