All campers need to check in at the registration tables in the parking lot behind the kids building. Here we will check you in and assign baggage tags. The next station will collect any and all medication (so we can turn it into the camp nurse when we arrive). Every child will have a lice check before they get on the bus as well. Then all luggage will be dropped off to be loaded. When you have completed these tasks campers will be instructed where to stand in line to depart. When every child is checked in and loaded on their specific bus, we will then head to camp.
