Overnights

For the Owl Section and CITs

Owl Overnight

After a snack, having an extra free swim and games, campers will have a cookout. After dinner, the campers participate in the famous Counselor Hunt, then cook s’mores over a campfire. The we head to bed, sleeping out on the lawn in the tents!

In the morning, campers enjoy a homemade pancake breakfast and an optional morning swim before the rest of the campers arrive and we start the Friday camp day.

The Overnights are on the Thursday of the 2nd and 5th weeks of camp!

As we are a day camp that operates mostly outdoors, there is not sufficient indoor space to accommodate all of our Owl campers and staff if there is severe weather. If severe weather is predicted during the night (ie. thunder and lighting, heavy rain), we will cancel the overnight portion and dismissal will be at 8:15pm.

CIT Overnight

The CIT Overnight schedule is similar the one outlined above, but with some special activities geared to only our CITs – the CIT overnights will be held the Thursday of the 2nd and 5th weeks of camp.

Overnight Weather Policy

Our camp offers memorable overnight experiences for campers; however, as a primarily outdoor program, we are limited in our ability to provide indoor sleeping accommodations during severe weather.

Severe Weather Forecast

If severe weather is predicted overnight (such as thunder, lightning, or heavy rain), we will proceed with the afternoon and evening portion of the event, but cancel the overnight stay. In this case, camper pickup will be scheduled for 8:15pm. Families will be notified of any changes via email by 12:30pm on the day of the overnight.

Changing Conditions

We closely monitor the weather and aim to make the most informed decision possible based on available forecasts. However, weather can shift unexpectedly. There is a chance we may proceed with the overnight as planned at 12:30pm, but need to end the night early due to a sudden change in conditions.

Backup Pickup Plan

In light of this, we ask all families to have a backup pickup plan in place. Please keep your phone accessible for texts and emails, and ensure a parent or authorized adult is available on-call in case an early pickup becomes necessary. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we prioritize camper safety while creating a fun and memorable experience.
