Campers
Will be assigned to a cabin with other children close to their age.
What are the minimum Camper qualifications?
-
A person who is entering Kindergarten through 10th grade in the next Fall school-year.
- A person who is willing to sign and agree to the guidelines for campers listed on the Kids Camp Registration form.
Note: We love to have campers attend with their parent or grandparent or legal guardian whether they are younger than the required age or are just not comfortable being assigned to a cabin by themselves. In these cases, they should still be registered as a camper, and the adult who will attend camp with them should register as a Support Worker. We understand that parents may not be comfortable sending their young children to camp by themselves, and we try our best to make accommodations for these cases. Please contact Daniel Healy (314) 696-3306 if you have more questions about this.
