How many weeks of camp can I come in 2009? Do I have to go home on the
weekends?
You can come for one, two or three
weeks of camp in 2009 in any combination of one and two-week sessions. Here are the different combinations you can consider:
- A one-week session
- Two one-week sessions
- Three one-week sessions
- A two-week session
- A two-week and a one-week session
Please note that a camper can only stay for a maximum of two weeks straight
through. There are no weekend programs offered for campers attending a
one-week session.
What
is the difference between a two-week session and two one-week sessions?
Campers in a two-week session
attend camp for 12 consecutive days. They will have the same cabinmates
and counselors for their entire time at camp. Two-week campers
participate in special weekend day trips and activities but do not go
home on the weekend between their weeks of camp. Campers coming for two
one-week sessions will have different cabinmates and counselors each week, and
they go home on the weekend. They can also attend one-week sessions that
are separated in time by more than a weekend - for instance, weeks 2 and 7.
What will the weekends be like during a two-week session?
Click
here and go to the bottom of the linked page to learn about weekends during a
two-week session.
Is
the daily schedule different for two-week and one-week campers?
Yes and no. The types of
activities offered are the same, but the times at which they are offered are somewhat
different. Click here to view a detailed daily schedule for each type of camp.
Will
pick-up and drop-off times be the same for one-week and two-week campers?
Yes, registration will still be from 4:00 to
5:30 pm on Sundays. On Fridays, there will be a closing ceremony at 4:00 pm that
parents and guardians are encouraged
to attend. Campers will be ready to go home at approximately 4:45 pm.
We kept the times the same so that if you had one child in a one-week
camp and another in the two-week camp, you could drop them off/pick them up at
the same time. Please remember though, that two-week campers will be
on an out-of-camp trip on the Friday afternoon of their first week or the Sunday of their
second week.
How will campers staying for a two-week session do their laundry?
Sandy Hill will contract and
outside wash-and-fold company to do the
campers' laundry for them one time during their stay at camp midway through
the session. Campers will only be able to have clothes and towels
laundered, not bedding. The cost to do the laundry (approximately
$14) will be deducted from their store account.
Will two-week campers be in cabins or lodges in 2009?
We are currently constructing our fourth lodge. This will allow all two-week campers to be in lodges for their entire session. All one-week campers will continue to use the existing cabins.
