What is your lost and found policy?

At camp there is always something that is lost or found. To try and reduce the chances of losing something please follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Please label all clothing and articles
  2. Campers are responsible for the safekeeping of their belongings
  3. ALL lost and found items will remain at the camp until August 31; after this date, unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity.
