- Please Do
- Plan visits for Sunday afternoon (no classes that afternoon and not a lot going on, a good time to go out of camp), although any day is fine to visit after the first week of camp.
- Make sure your daughter is back in camp by 8:30 p.m.
- Keep your visit short.
- Please Don’t
- Visit frequently… you can be a distraction from your daughter’s camp experience.
- Bring boyfriends… talk about a distraction!
- Encourage relatives to visit… have them write letters instead.
- Visit the first or last week of camp. (Yes, this means we do not recommend visits during Junior camp or August camp.)
- Have your daughter spend the night with you out of camp — so disruptive to the cabin.
Being away from your child can be hard, and she is sure to miss you! However, visiting often at camp can cause many disruptions in her acclimation into the camp environment. Because of this, we discourage any visitors at the Junior and August sessions, due to the shortness in length. At June and Main camp, we allow visitors, but only during the middle of camp (after the first week before the last week)… visits are not necessary! Taking your camper out of the camp environment will often be a distraction to her time at camp. Below are some guidelines for visiting at the June and Main camp sessions, if you do plan to visit.
Please sign a permission form if a camper is allowed to leave camp with someone other than you. We let campers leave camp one time in June or Main camp with someone other than their parents or grandparents, assuming the parents give specific permission for the camper to do so. We do not allow campers to leave camp with anyone under 30 years of age driving. If you are taking campers in your car other than your daughter, you must provide seat belts for every occupant of the vehicle.
It is not necessary to visit your camper—many girls do not have guests. No overnight visits are allowed.
