Permit and counselors

The permit, the counselors and the hall

Every group has a counselor in the room at all times, and the exits, the stage and pickup each have a routine.

Day camp permit · PA Permit # 000000

Pickup at the side door
An adult on your list signs your camper in and out at the side door of the hall, and we ask for ID until we know you. Guests at the Friday showcase sign in at the front door and sit in the folding chairs; they don't go backstage.
Fire exits
On Monday morning every group walks the exits with a counselor. We practice leaving the hall once a week, so campers know where to go and who to follow.
On the stage
Campers are on the stage only with a counselor in the room, and the steps at either side are marked. Props are soft or blunt, and a swordfight is a dance with foam.
Water and breaks
Water is on a table at the side of the hall all day. On a pleasant day we take the snack break on the lawn in the shade, and on a hot or wet day it stays in the fellowship room.
Allergies and illness
Tell us about allergies and medicine at registration, and we ask what we need privately. A camper with a fever stays home, and if a camper feels ill at camp, we call you and a counselor stays with them until you arrive.
Counselors in the room
Every group has a counselor in the room at all times, and a counselor in training is never counted in the ratio.
