Important Dates & Events Coming!

We all have lots going on this semester, and we’re excited about the team that’s coming together for this summer! We want to build some solid staff momentum ahead of time, so we plan to hold two Google Meet video calls:
one on February 6th
and one on April 24th.

More details to come, but pencil it in for around 8pm EST both of those nights, and we’ll look forward to seeing you then!

Completing and submitting forms will also become important in the months ahead. Your physician’s exam form is now available…so go ahead and schedule that doctor’s appointment! Other forms will become available soon in WorkBright and in your CampInTouch account. Stay tuned!

Father son weekend camp in north carolina.jpg?ixlib=rails 2.1
Want to join us for one of the 4 Father/Son Weekends this summer?

New Father/Son Weekend in 2025!

For the past several years, we’ve had a couple Father/Son Weekends before camp, with a third after camp…followed by Family Camp. This summer we actually have three Father/Son Weekends in May, with a new fourth and final Father/Son Weekend in August!

We’ll lean on veteran staff to fill most of the needed positions for the first two weekends, and the other two will be a combination of returning and new staff. We’d love to hear from all of you…especially veteran staff who haven’t been in regular contact with us so far this off-season.

Fill Out The Interest Form:

If you think you could join us May 9-11, 16-18 or 23-25…or even possibly Aug 22-24 (and we haven’t already discussed it with you), please fill out this brief Weekend Event Interest Form, and we’ll be in touch!
