Rain or Shine!

The health and safety of our campers, staff and volunteers is our highest priority. Keeping that in mind, we will hold camp in the rain unless there is thunder/lightning. We also will hold camp in the smoke until it reaches unhealthy levels. Please review the following information for further details.

You will receive an early morning email from the camp director if camp is cancelled. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer make-up days.

Thunder and Lightning

In the case of thunder and lightning, we will ask you to come pick up your camper. You will receive a text from Ultracamp if this occurs. Please check your phone regularly in the case of potential weather.  

Smoke

hroughout the week we will be keeping a close eye on the air quality, and will have back-up plans for each day based on conditions.

If your camper has any respiratory or heart conditions, please consult with your family health care provider.
