To help parents prepare for the summer, we will also be hosting a virtual Parent Information Session:
Parent Zoom Information Session
Sunday, June 14
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Join at: campgan.org/virtual
The Parent Zoom is your chance to learn about the ins and outs of your child’s day at camp, what our staff training looks like and about all the incredible offerings your child will experience this summer. The link for the Zoom Information Recording can be found HERE.
If you are unable to come to the open house, you should plan to take care of all the above on your child/ren’s first day of camp.
As a reminder:
- No camper will be allowed in camp without a health form.
- If your child carries an EPI pen, please provide one to be left at camp. You must verbally and in writing detail all their allergies. A camp allergy form must be filled out at the open house or on your child’s first day of camp. Forms will be available at the front desk.
- Additionally, if your child receives any support or medication for help with behavior management, please let us know. All information will be kept confidential. This will allow us to best serve your child and peers.
