There are cookouts and many special events which highlight the summer. All Camp programmes such as tournaments and theme days are carefully planned to include the interests of every Camper.

SUPERVISION
The ratio of total counsellor staff to Campers is one to three with very few exceptions, the minimum age for counsellors is eighteen. Most are former Campers and many are university students or graduates. No junior counsellors are employed.

SECTIONS & CABIN MATE REQUESTS
Section is determined by age and cabin grouping. Sections elect their own leaders and plan many of their own evening programmes and special events. The Camp reserves the right to make final decisions regarding section and cabin placements. Friendships, compatibility age, grade in school, height, general -maturity and the new Campers are considered in planning congenial groupings. Cabin request forms are sent out early in the new year. Campers wishing to request one friend must: (1) Obtain the consent of the proposed cabin mate and (2) he sure that they are the same age and/or grade in school. While every effort is made to honour mutual requests, parents are reminded that learning to live with new friends is an important part of a Camp experience. The Camp will only consider one cabin request. Cabin placement is entirely at the discretion of the Director. Late cabin -requests cannot be honoured.
