Medication packaging will be mailed to you directly at least one week prior to the first weekend, and you will be able to pick up additional medication packaging supplies for the remaining weekends at the first Sunday pickup. If you have any questions, please call our office or email a director.
The Weekenders cost includes meals, snacks, activities, field trips, project supplies and staff supervision. Your participant will also receive a special Weekenders gift the first Weekend in the series (i.e. a Weekenders hoodie, duffel bag, etc.).

The Grove
The Grove is a secluded tent site in the woods off the path between Main Camp and Crescent. This site has two heavy-duty canvas "cabin tents" with rain fly and additional ground space for tent pitching. The area is complete with a fire pit, outdoor cooking area, and nearby drinking water. Sturdy bunk-bed cots may be rented or feel free to bring a sleeping mat of your own!
Tent Pitching
For the more adventurous groups and guests, you are welcome to pitch a tent for your accommodation. If you don’t own one you can always rent one from us - we have everything from two-person pup tents to 14-person home-away-from-home tents! As you can imagine, the pitching spots are almost unlimited. Access to a campfire circle for cooking and indoor bathroom facilities can be arranged for tent campers. (Per town ordinance, RVs are not allowed).
