Session 4
A Note from Your Camp Director
Welcome of Session 4 of Senior Camp! Our Senior team is extremely excited to meet our campers and their families. We have an engaging and active summer planned with your future 4th and 5th 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 on our website to clarify any questions regarding camp. If you have not done so, please finish your Campdoc forms as soon as possible. You will not be allowed to attend camp until we have your emergency information.
