SESSION 2

A Note from Your Camp Director

Welcome of Session 2 of Junior Camp! Our Junior team is extremely excited to meet our campers and their families. We have an engaging and active summer planned with your future 2nd and 3rd graders that we know they are going to love! I have provided a few friendly reminders to help prepare for the summer and highly recommend reviewing our orientation video posted on our website to clarify any questions regarding camp. If you have not done so, please finish your Epact forms as soon as possible. You received an email to the address that you registered with. You will not be allowed to attend camp until we have your emergency information.
