                          On rare occasions, we may need to change the start time or lo-
                          cation of a camp. We contact registered participants by email
                          as soon as possible to notify of parents of the camp change.

                          TIPS FOR ALL CAMPS:
                          Wear loose, comfortable clothing and tennis shoes (no san-
                          dals) each day. To ensure proper hydration, bring a water bot-
                          tle to camp each day with the camper’s name on it. Please ap-
                          ply sunscreen 30 minutes before arriving at any outdoor camp.
