Campers should always indicate a ‘buddy’ on their forms in case we can not place your troop together. Troop leaders / parents will be notified ASAP if there are not enough volunteers to form units and place your camper(s). In this case, your fees will be refunded. Refund policy for those who drop is on our website. Complete information for the week of camp will be sent out via mail in mid to late June and posted on our website
