Teen Camp E-News Session 10

SESSION 10

A Note from Your Camp Director

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Session 10—our final week of Summer Day Camp! It's hard to believe how quickly the summer has flown by. Over the past several weeks, we've made new friends, learned new skills, and created countless memories together. As we wrap up an amazing camp season, we're excited to fill this final session with even more laughter, adventure, creativity, and fun. Let's celebrate all we've accomplished and make this last week our best one yet!

We hope you find this newsletter helpful, as it will give you in detail what lies ahead for the session of camp. Teen Camp is located at Main Beach, 300 Lakeshore Dr., Crystal Lake. Drop-off for campers is between 8:30-8:50 am and pick up at 3:30 pm. Drop off will always be at the boat launch or in the current senior camp lane by the flower pot close to the street light in the beach parking lot when seniors campers are not at the beach. The pickup location will be listed under each day below. When you drop off/pick up you will stay in your car. A counselor will come up to you to sign in/out your camper. Campers will not be able to attend camp if they are exhibiting any symptoms of illness. Supplies needed for each day are a bathing suit, towel, sunscreen, reusable water bottle, and a peanut free lunch or money to buy one from the concession stand. A completely disposable lunch may be needed on some trips.
