What are Parties?
These are camp wide activities that happen at night and are just for fun! Sometimes the party is in a game show format and sometimes it is a recreation based activity. The setting may be indoors or outside. The last night’s party is a chance to see what the performance track times have been working on all week- we call it the Variety Show!
What happens at Hang Time?
At Hang Time, we want you to hang out with your kids, and we want to hang out with your kids, too! There are always hang time options planned so there is never a dull moment! Most locations have a rec center and/or snack bar so be sure to bring some extra cash for snacks. Of course, the Camp Store is open and there are staff all over campus to hang out and get to know your kids.
What will accommodations be like?
This depends on the location your group will be attending. The majority of locations are 2–4 bedroom dorm rooms with shared bathrooms or bath on the hall.

What do I need to bring to registration at camp?
The Group Leader Information has a Registration Checklist with instructions, but one important change for this year is that you need to bring one notarized copy (turned in to CentriKid) and one photo-copy (kept by the group leader) of the Participant Form for each person coming to camp.
