cabin rules · packing list

Read this twice
before Sunday.

Clear expectations make the week easier on everyone — campers, parents, counsellors. Most of this is common sense; some of it is hard-won from previous summers.

if it helps,
print this page.

We send this to every parent the week of camp. Bringing a printed copy on drop-off Sunday speeds up cabin assignments.

Six rules
we won't bend.

  1. 01

    Stay with your group. Counsellors always know where you are.

  2. 02

    Follow counsellor direction without arguing — questions are welcome after.

  3. 03

    Respect the modest dress code on and off the water.

  4. 04

    Pray on time. We'll always tell you when.

  5. 05

    Speak kindly. Hands stay to yourself.

  6. 06

    Leave the woods and cabins better than you found them.
