Drop Off/Pick-up: Campers should be dropped off and picked up in a timely manner. If you will be late or need to leave early, please let staff know. Students will need to be signed out when they leave, so please have the parent/guardian come into the Welcome Center to sign the child out.
What to bring to camp: You can bring a backpack with you to camp. We recommend bringing a water bottle, sun screen, bug spray, and wearing casual clothes and shoes (preferably closed-toed shoes) that allow for adventure (running around, doing crafts, etc). We encourage you to dress as part of history as well!
Lunch/Snacks: Campers enrolled in full day camps should bring a lunch. Lunch bags will be kept safe until lunch time. We also encourage you to bring a snack, as we will take breaks in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon each day.
Snacks are not provided, though there may be opportunities to taste and create food from the historic kitchens and gardens. Campers will be allowed to bring a small snack of their choosing, but please note that we do not have the capacity to refrigerate snack items. Please mark any food or other allergies on the registration form so that all campers can be provided the best experience.
