Cabin Groups
~5 and 6-year-olds
~7 and 8-year-olds
~9 and 10-year-olds
In order to enhance the camp experience, campers are thoughtfully grouped into one of three cabin groups based on their age and grade. Each cabin group is led by two (2) dedicated counselors who stay with the same group throughout the entire week. These counselors play a key role in ensuring the smooth and secure transition of their cabin group between different activity rotations.
If your camper would like to be in the same cabin group as a friend or sibling registered for the same week, please complete the “Buddy Form” when registering via CampBrain. This form allows you to list up to three (3) names of other campers to be considered for the same cabin group placement. Buddy pairings must be in alignment with another requests and are not guaranteed (i.e. if you submit a camper’s name on your “Buddy Form,” but that camper does not submit your camper’s name on their “Buddy Form,” the request will not be honored). Should camper behavior be of concern, groups may be adjusted after the first day of camp.
