A Don Lee Lunch is $9.00 per person. Lunch will include fried chicken, mac and cheese or mashed potatoes, green beans, a roll, desert and a drink. If you are eating a Don Lee Lunch, report to the Dining Hall immediately following your last morning activity

What To Bring: Face coverings are optional. We will be outside for most of the day so please dress appropriately for the weather. Bring a water bottle, sunscreen, sunglasses, snacks and lunch if you choose to bring your own.

Our Camp Store will be open from 2:00pm - 4:00pm. We have snacks, drinks, a variety of clothing items and souvenirs. Cash and credit cards accepted.

COVID-19 Policies:

  • Face coverings such as masks, buffs and bandanas are optional. 
  • Students will be asked to wash their hands before and after each activity
  • We ask that everyone eat their lunch outside. We will have pop-up tents set up near the dining hall for your family to eat their lunch. (If weather does not permit this, families will eat inside the dining hall)
  • We have changed from open activity to a schedule style operation for large groups consisting of more than one family group to help with social distancing and cleaning of materials between activities
