Your Child’s Cabin Mate Preference, if any:
- We honor ONE AND ONLY ONE cabin mate request (ie a pair of campers)
- The campers must be registered for the same camp and week.
- The request must be reciprocal/mutual. Each camper must list the other camper in the registration to comply. For example, Jane requests Judy and Judy requests Jane.
- WE DO NOT GROUP campers.
- NO CHANGES are made at the time of Check-In,
- We are unable to "confirm" cabin mate requests due to privacy. Camper families should communicate directly with each other regading confirmation.
Why we do not allow groups:
There is much research that indicates that providing children opportunities to meet new people and finding ways to understand and connect with each other is highly valuable to their overall growth. Our staff have training in ways to help kids get to know each other and create mutual experiences throughout the week. Additionally, we have observed that groups which include several campers who already know each other often lead to campers feeling excluded or isolated. We strive to ensure that no camper is in a group where there are only friend pairs, but we cannot guarantee it,
What we ask of parents:
Please do not attempt to group in the registration as we have multiple groups of the same age group for some weeks and there is no guarantee this will work. We suggest you invite a friend if there is an odd number so that you comply with the pair policy.
Discuss this with your child prior to their camp week. Confusion and disappointment at check-in can be avoided if parents help choose their child's one cabin mate and make sure it is reciprocal. Please call if you do not clearly understand this policy.
