A camper’s family medical insurance will serve as "primary" coverage. However, if family insurance is not available or adequate for a specific incident, the following camp coverage will apply:

Accident – $5,000 limit.

Sickness – no coverage. (Unless the camp is deemed responsible due to food born illness, etc.)

Note: All accidents or sickness must be reported immediately and treated prior to the end of the camp session to receive consideration for benefits.

All medications (including over-the-counter) must be in the original bottle, properly labeled with the camper’s name/doctor’s instructions and turned in at check-in.

Parents, please be sure to claim all unused medications at the end of the session. If the medication(s) is not already secured in the camper’s luggage, they may be reclaimed from the first aid room or camp office.

Special Note: The gate to the main camp will be open no later than 3:00 p.m. for sessions that begin on a Sunday.

DAY CAMPERS: Check-in time will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the gymnasium located in the Campbell Complex. (Campers will remain in the gym for further instructions.) Parents are not permitted to remain at the camp during the Day Camp session "just to help out" unless you are a designated faculty member. Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

WILDERNESS CAMPERS: Check-in will be from at 3:30-5:00 p.m. at the lake, or chapel porch at main campus if it is raining. Upon checking in you will go immediately to the wilderness campsite for instructions.

After you have moved into your room and made your bed, go immediately to the gymnasium located in the Campbell Complex to check-in.

Late Arrivals: If you are unable to be at the camp by 5:00 p.m. please contact us as soon as possible. After 5:00 p.m. we will be at the main building (Stuckey’s Lodge.)

Swimming: Weather permitting, the life guard will be on duty for swimming from 3:45-4:45 p.m. You may swim only after having made your bunk and checked in.

Evening Meal: The evening meal on opening day for dorm/wilderness campers will be served at approximately 5:15 p.m.

Visitors: Visitors are welcome during summer activities. However, due to "homesickness" visits should be kept to a minimum during Ice Breaker & Junior camps. All visitors must check-in at the office immediately upon arrival. Also, please remember that campers will be on a schedule and should not be interrupted. All are asked to depart prior to campfire.

Visitor Meals: (Dorm Camp) If you plan to visit during meal time, please call ahead and ask if we can accommodate reservations. During full weeks of camp our dining facilities are stretched to the limit and we have a maximum capacity by law.
