If your child loses an item, it can be found in the lost and found. Once they find it, they can make sure it's 100% theirs by checking their name on it.  - Do ask for help if needed - Treat your fellow campers with the utmost respect and kindness. Remember the golden rule: Treat others the way you would like to be treated. After all, it helps us be better individuals and for a better community.  - Have fun!  Don't: - Do not play on your electronic devices. They should be off and away in your backpacks throughout the day. We are here to have fun! you can tell your family what happened at camp when you get home.
