Policies & Expectations
We provide a morning and afternoon snack. Families are responsible for packing a healthy lunch each day. We often travel with our lunches so please make sure to include an ice pack if needed. No candy or sweets please!
We anticipate an 8:30-9:00 departure for our morning adventures each day so please make sure your child is prepared to strike off shortly after arrival. This includes having sunscreen and bug spray already applied and hydration packs and/or bottles filled.
If your child will need to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, please make sure to pack it in a re-sealable bag and ensure it is labeled clearly.
Toys and screens of any kind from home should stay at home. We have more than enough to keep children engaged while at camp. We also want to minimize any difficulties among children, toys from home often spark unnecessary controversies and take away from our focus on relationships and our natural environment.
Your child should have an extra set of clothes, including underwear and socks. We recommend sending a wet/dry bag of clothes and any wet clothes can be sent back home in the same bag. Children should have at least one set of swim clothes as well.
Children are able to independently start, stop, slow down, and maintain control of their bikes.
All gear for the day should fit into a bag that is manageable for the child to independently carry moderate distances.
All gear, clothing, and shoes should be clearly labeled with the child's name
Families are expected to sign up with Procare and utilize the tool to maintain communication
