We need their help.
They get to do all of the interesting and fun activities and the camp counselors do all of the work.
They don’t have to worry about big discipline problems – Chaparral teachers will handle that for them.
It will insure that you get to be with your group of friends.
It’s a free trip to Catalina when it’s warm!

19. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I be able to choose my group?
A: Children of chaperones will be selecting their groups. An attempt will be made to keep other groups together and fit them into the chaperone groups, but there is a limit of 10 per group, so groups may be broken up. You will always be kept with at least one friend from your list.

20. Q: Can I choose which camp I will be going to?
A: No. Other than size (Toyon Bay will have over 200 students and Fox Landing only 100) the camps offer similar accommodations and activities.
