ARRIVAL (Drop-off)

Drop-off at Camp Celo is from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. You will be assigned a one hour arrival window during that time frame.

Adventure Camp Drop-off is in the morning between 10 - 11 a.m.

You will need these things at check-in when you to arrive:

1. A healthy camper, free of fever above 100.4 for at least the last 24 hours
2. Your child’s medications in a zip-lock bag to hand to our medical staff
3. Your child’s self-addressed and stamped envelopes for letter writing

Families bringing siblings may arrive at either camper’s time window.

We will check each camper’s head for lice upon arrival. Please start checking your child a few weeks before camp. If any nits are seen at check-in, we will ask the parent to take the child home or to a treatment facility until the camper can return free of nits.

Please do not bring a child to camp who has been exposed to any contagious illness. If it is necessary to consult a doctor for an illness or injury while at camp, the family will be billed.

We will serve a snack shortly after the campers arrive and their first meal will be served at 6:00 p.m.
