These people will need to be listed on your registration form and they must bring picture identification with them when they come. Please refer to the camp website, for policies regarding someone not listed.

PARKING AT THE CAMP
As all campers are now going to be brought in by car, we suggest parking outside the camp lot and or carpooling whenever possible. If you do come into the lot, please follow the traffic pattern along with any staff that may be directing you.
Only take 1 spot and do not stay longer than necessary in order to provide space for the next family. Do not park in front of the door or even double park as you wait for someone to come out. It’s very dangerous and can cause a lot of extra traffic backup.
Parking is available right outside the lot to either side and is legal. There is also parking available on the blocks near the camp. DO NOT block anyone’s driveway, even for a second
