There will be no calling today. Campers will be assigned to their new bunks before lunch and will have some time to settle in. Each parent will receive an email this evening with his son’s bunk list and class list, including counselors and teachers. Please take note of the bunk number. Once you have the new list, you can check our website for the calling schedule. Campers are not forced to call, but are given the opportunity to do so.
