Camper Units

Units are not just age groups but small communities arranged by the camper’s grade entering this fall.

Units compete each week for the Spirit Cup by chanting, showing their camp spirit, and overall activity around camp. Please note that we are not offering day camp for ages 3 & 4 that are not entering Kindergarten, our local day camps do offer this age group for more information click HERE

We understand that campers often come with a friend they would like to be with. We strongly believe that camp is an opportunity to meet new people. As such, we limit requests to one per camper. There is a space on the registration form to make your request or you can contact the camp office. Requests will only be honored for campers within one year of each other in age. Both campers must also mutually request to be in the same group.
