If you’re unsure what equipment is needed for your child’s sport, our team is happy to help.

Medical devices required for daily participation are permitted and should be communicated to camp staff in advance so we can support your child appropriately.

In the event of illness, campers are moved to a supervised rest area. If they need to go home, parents are contacted. Please keep children home if they are sick to support a healthy camp environment.
