6. Who gets to chaperone? Any parents or grandparents who are interested in chaperoning need to return the chaperone form by April 8, 2016. We will need about 8-10 moms and 8-10 dads (possibly more). Background checks must be cleared by the first week of school (between July 1- August 12) or a chaperone will be replaced. We have two to four chaperones per cabin unless we are short on numbers. If we have more chaperones than needed, chaperones are chosen by a random draw. If we have more chaperones than needed, we will ask the next two drawn to be on stand-by.

7. How can I pay? We will accept exact cash, check (with Driver’s license #), or on-line payments.
