We are looking forward to having your son or daughter at camp this summer and we want to make sure you feel prepared when you get here. Here is some information for you – if you have other questions please phone the office or email and we would be happy to help you out.
We will be sending out an email prior to your camp week for additional info regarding check-in and closing day.
All weeks (except Home School and Family Camp) have an Arrival Time of 5:00-6:30pm on the first day of camp with a welcome bbq at 5:00.
On the last day of those weeks there will be a Closing Rally at 10:00 am which parents are encouraged to attend. You will need to sign your child out with the cabin leader before leaving.
Day Camp takes place in a 9am-5pm hour format, with options to take part of the first evening and last morning.

Health Matters
- A Health Form will be available on your campbrain account. Parents are responsible to complete this form prior to arriving at camp to help our first aid attendant best look after your camper. If it's not filled out upon arrival, you will be required to fill it out at check in.
- All campers bringing medications or with allergies will need to see the nurse on opening day to turn medications in. All medications need to be provided in blister packs from pharmacy or original bottles with labels from pharmacy and left with the first aid attendant. Those without medications and allergies will be able to skip this station.
- We do have basic over-the-counter medications on-site please see the nurse if you have any questions.
- Emergency Inhalers and EpiPen's can be kept by campers after notifying the nurse that your child has this item.

Check-in Day
Once you arrive at camp, you will take the road that continues on your right. Follow the road to the parking lot -- there will be signs indictating where check-in is taking place.
At check-in you will be greeted by our MLBC team and will find out what cabin your child is staying in and will be able to meet their leaders for the week. There are also stations to drop off medication and talk to the first aider for the week, pick up and pre-ordered clothing, and pay any remaining fees you might be owing. Our leaders are glad to help carry any luggage you might have!
