Two more days! Camp is finally here and we just want to remind you of a few things. This blog post is for all camp families this summer, not just those arriving on Saturday, June 25th.
All buses leave our bus locations at 1pm sharp! Please be sure to give yourself enough time to get to the buses by 12:30pm, especially those of you going to our Queens bus stop. It is inevitable that there is always traffic heading to our Queens bus so leave extra early in order to make it there on time.
Don’t forget to pack your child lunch for the bus ride to camp. For campers who are flying to Newark, it’s a good idea to send them with extra money for snacks that they’d like to purchase upon arrival at the airport.
Cell phones are strictly prohibited at camp! Any child caught with a cell phone will be sent home from camp for a 3-day suspension. Only campers flying here via airplane may travel with a cell phone. We will collect your flying camper’s phone after your child calls home to let you know that he/she arrived at Newark safely. Additionally, non-functioning iPhones are not allowed to be used as music players, even with the SIM card removed.
The bunks are all finalized and campers will receive their bunk numbers on their bus ride to camp. We can no longer accept new bunk requests for the 1st session. We try to honor all bunk requests to the best of our abilities.
