A Rundown of Parent's Day!


A rundown of Parent's Day, 
with a few tips to make it the best day ever!



The front gate opens at 9:45 to begin parking, as you enter you'll receive a copy of our newsletter. No worries about being early...Parent's Day starts at 10:30. If you are going to be much later than that, please let us know so we can make sure your camper knows you are on your way.

Everyone parks on the soccer field where you'll grab your camper luggage from Bob (if it's not being sent home via other means). If you had planned to send luggage home by a different means but you want to take it with you, just let Bob and the boys know and we will get it for you from the bunk-line.

You'll hang out on the Track until 10:20, then make your way to the Hockey area. At 10:30 am, Andrea and Scott will address all visitors then officially open Parent's Day for all! At this time, many families do the "Southwoods Split" - one to the cabins and one to the waterfront to sign up for ski. You have the opportunity to sign-up for a Ski ride - grab a slot and enjoy going out on beautiful Paradox Lake and watch your camper show-off their new skills!



Bunk Locations:

Girls Cabins on Lower Bunkline:
 Owls Head, Giant, Algonquin, Cascade, Marcy
Boys Cabins on Lower Bunkline: Santanoni, Hurricane, Gothics, Saddleback
Girls Cabins Around Flagpole: Skylight, Wolfden
Boys Cabins Around Flagpole: Cliff, Panther, Grey Peak, Macomb, Nyestrong




Restrooms - you will find two behind the office and port-a-johns all over camp. Also, Dad feel free to use guy cabins and Mom, female cabins. Changing houses at the beach are labeled by gender as well. 

After reuniting with your camper(s), go PLAY! Have fun, let them show you their favorite activities - things they’ve learned or gotten better at! Try the batting cage at Baseball, test your agility in Fencing, take to the Archery range or Tennis court, enjoy camp!!! The amazing Waterfront is a must stop for ski, sail, kayak, canoe, or the new paddle boards!

ALL visitors under 16 MUST take a quick Skill Check at the waterfront before swimming.

Lunch will begin at 12:00 and run until about 1:30pm. A buffet of deliciousness will be available in the dining hall and seating will be under the tent in the grove!

IMPORTANT LOCATIONS!
- Andrea and Scott will generally be around the office/grove/dining hall area.
- Wall of Pics: check out the fantastic pics from the summer and take any that you want!
- Tribal plaques and Camp Play videos will be found in the Southwoods Playhouse


REMINDERS!

- Parents of Upper Seniors should stop in the office to enroll in the Super Senior program, as spaces are already very limited for the August 2015 Super Senior trip!
- Any controlled medications need to be picked up from the Safe Haven before you depart!
- If for some reason your child brought a cell phone or internet device, the parent will have to claim that in the office.

- Stop by the Arts and Crafts building to collect projects to take home.
- Don't forget to take home your wet swim clothes.

 


We'll see you Thursday!!
