Bunk mate info
Campers are assigned cabins by gender, age and grade level. Cabins are intentionally mixed with new and returning campers. Campers may request to be with another camper. This can be done while filling out your application. Groups of more than 3 campers requesting to be with each other may be split into groups and placed in different cabins. Please try to limit your request to only one other cabin partner. We will do our best to accommodate.
