SESSION 3

 
A Note from Your Camp Director

Welcome of Session 3 of Senior Camp! Our Senior team is extremely excited to meet our campers and their families. We have an engaging and active summer planned with your future 4th and 5th graders that we know they are going to love! I have provided a few friendly reminders to help prepare for the summer. If you have not done so, please finish your Epact forms as soon as possible. You received an email from EPACT with a link. You will not be allowed to attend camp until we have your emergency information.

 If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to call Gina Smak, Senior Camp Director or Kyle Kuffel, Senior Camp Assistant Director at (815) 355-6558 or email gsmak@crystallakeparks.org.
