Counselors and students are assigned to specific rooms based on their family groups for the week.

A counselor will be in every room/cabin.

Will my student need extra money during camp?
Everything needed during the week of camp (lodging, meals, etc.) has been covered in your camp cost. However, there is a Snack Shop located on the grounds of the conference center that your child may want to visit occasionally during their free time. There will also be additional t-shirts and souvenirs for them to buy if they should choose to. Students are responsible for the care of their personal money during the week.
