Do we sleep over
at camp?
During our day camp sessions, we offer an optional Thursday
night overnight experience. Campers and staff enjoy a night in
our platform tents, featuring special all-camp activities and a
rowdy campfire. Note that
transportation is not provided on Thursday afternoons or
Friday mornings for those campers who do not spend the night.
