The week culminates with a highly anticipated party, lunch, water slide, and games. Campers are expected to bring lunch most days, and a snack is provided.

It is mandatory for all parents of campers to volunteer their time throughout the week - at least one shift per kid in camp. We also ask for supply donations. We will send out a sign-up genius in May for volunteer slots and supplies needed. If a family has not signed up by a week prior to the beginning of camp, then the family will be assigned slots. Parent volunteers are crucial to the camp's success and SAFETY.
