Camper/Parent Handbook

Please CLICK HERE to read the new Camper/Parent handbook which includes important information about our camp.

Camper Transportation

Families are expected to drop their children off at the camp and pick them up and the end of their session(s). Campers will only be released to family members or individuals indicated in the Enrollment information.

Camper Health Information

The Camp Health Director and other medical staff will care for all minor injuries and illnesses. Should an emergency medical situation occur, parents will be notified immediately and the camper will be taken to West Branch Regional Medical Center in West Branch, MI.

Prescriptions/Medications

Campers/parents must submit all of the child’s medication (prescriptions, over-the-counter medication, aspirin, etc) to the Camp Health Director at registration. No medication is allowed in the cabins.

Water Safety

All campers will be tested by the Waterfront staff and assigned to specific areas according to their abilities. All campers are required to wear life-jackets when boating.

Off-Camp Trips

The authorization for off-camp trips found in the Camper Application must be signed by parents in order for a camper to be taken on one of these activities. All trips are planned and supervised by appropriate adult staff.

Camper Mail

You may email your camper at camp, but please note that it takes longer for mail to arrive up north at camp.  If you mail a letter to your camper, please send it very early in the week.  We ask that you do not send packages to your camper containing food or candy. The camp address is listed on the Contacts page.  The best way to send “mail” to your camper is by using the BunkNotes function to send a one-way email.  Bunknotes are distributed daily at camp.  You will receive more information about BunkNotes in the acceptance email you receive, and in other communication prior to camp..

Phone Calls

Campers will NOT have access to the camp phone to make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls. The Camp Director will communicate with parents as needed. Parents should refrain from calling except for emergencies.

Visits

To camp by camper’s family and/or friends are discouraged. The Camp Director must be contacted for permission prior to anyone coming to the camp during a camp week. Approval is at the sole discretion of the Camp Director.
