THE FOLLOWING CAMP CHANGES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED: Due to the rising cost of running a summer camp, the following changes have been made as an alternative to raising the cost of the camp fee: * Laundry Service will no longer be provided during the camping session. Campers must bring an ample supply of clothing for the entire stay. Visually Impaired Adults will still be able to use the laundry facility to wash their own clothing during their 11 day stay. * Clothing will only be washed in the event of an "accident." * Please send all campers with a mesh laundry bag labeled with their complete name written in black permanent marker. *Bath towels will no longer be provided. Campers must bring their own supply of bath towels and wash cloths for the session. We're sorry for any inconvenience and we hope you will understand.
