Important information about field trips: For registered campers, field trip fee is included in regular camp tuition. Siblings and parents of registered campers are permitted on field trips. The cost for each additional family member to attend is $50. Field trip fees cover transportation, admission, T-shirt, and in some cases guided tours. Half-Day campers who wish to go on any field trip must report to camp at the stipulated departure time for the trip. Field trips are usually all day. Half day campers who sign up for a trip must plan to spend the entire day, usually 9AM to 4PM, on the trip. Parents will be advised of early departures and estimated arrival times for every field trip. Campers must be picked up at the camp location from which they departed for the field trip.
