Junior Winter Camp #1

Our part:

We give you a low rate for each camper. Plus, each camper and counselor will receive a free camp T-shirt, a free camp photo (digital), and free access to recreation activities. We provide you with access to Hartland’s online registration system. This easy-to-use system streamlines registering campers, collecting medical forms, sending confirmation notices, and creating rosters (paper forms are also available). We also provide you with a promotional video, posters, bulletin inserts, and flyers to get the word out to your students and parents.

Your Part:
1. You decide how many camper spots you want to reserve and submit your request below.
2. You secure the spots by signing the contract(s) and making a non-refundable deposit of $40 per camper.
3. You send registration, medical forms, etc., to each camper through Hartland’s online registration system.
4. You provide campers with a packing list, dress code, and other pre-camp information (supplied by Hartland).
5. You supply one counselor for every seven campers. There is no charge for the counselors to attend camp.
6. 2 weeks before camp, you give Hartland one check for the balance of the camp fees due, cabin assignment sheets, completed medical forms, and volunteer counselor applications.

DRESS CODE

We have the unique opportunity to create a setting that fosters spiritual, relational, and personal growth.  Your dress can help or hinder that goal, so please be modest.  While this list does not include every imaginable article of clothing or fashion trend, here are some guidelines to help you keep everyone’s best interests in mind.

• Tops end where bottoms begin.  Your midriff belongs behind one or the other.
• Underwear belongs UNDER your other clothes.  Don’t go showing it off.
• Sleepwear is for sleeping in.  Please don’t wear your jammies around camp.
• Yoga pants are for doing yoga in.  Save the tight-fitting pants/shorts for the gym back home, or cover them with a long shirt.
• And as ironic as it may sound, the longer the shorts, the better.  At least fingertip length, please.

That about “covers” it – please do likewise (pun intended).

PARENTS

Hartland is very isolated, and there are no gasoline stations nearby. Make sure you fill up before you come up the mountain. Please take a moment to read our note to parents or find directions to Hartland for more details.

Medical

It is our desire to provide a fun yet safe environment for each camper. In order to accomplish this, a Registered Nurse is on-site and available 24 hours a day to assist with medical emergencies, first-aid, and administration of medications. Please ensure that the medical release form is filled out completely. All campers’ medications must be in their original containers, labeled with name and clear instructions. Multiple medications should then be placed in a clearly labeled zip-lock bag for each individual and turned in to the nurse upon check-in. Learn more about our policies and procedures regarding special dietary needs.
