Food allergies or concerns should be reported to the Camp Director before camp starts. Students will be provided with a snack and may bring extra food from home if they desire. All food should remain in building B’s Student Center.

In the case of an emergency regarding all participants at camp, we will send a Group Me notification with details (see below to join). Should any individual emergencies arise, a member of the staff will contact the parents or guardians of that student using the contact information provided on the liability waiver. Any daily medications will be the student's responsibility to administer.
