GETTING READY FOR CAMP

So your son or daughter is coming to camp this summer! Are you wondering what you need to do in preparation for coming? Well, let's say that the camper in the photo on the left is your son. You'll need to know what kind of shoes to bring and clothes to pack; especially since he might be exploring the Greenbrier river system for crawfish.

We ask that you please print a copy of the required forms from our website and mail them to us. We also ask that you please read throught the Parent Handbook (PDF found below and can be printed in needed).
