Jack Camp is right around the corner and here is the information you will need to be prepared:
What to Expect:
On the first day you will arrive at the SFA where the staff will be waiting to help you park or get dropped off and help you with your bags. There will be ample parking. Note: There is no reason you will need your car, so if you can have your parent’s or friend drop you off that would be one less thing to worry about.
A table will be set up in the Commuter Parking Lot for registration where you will be assigned a bus and given further instructions
Drop Off and Pick-Up:
Registration will be from 8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. (PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 10:30 A M THE BUSSES WILL LEAVE YOU). You will receive your camp information, cabin assignment, and get a chance to meet some of your camp counselors that can answer many of your questions. If you are dropped off please arrange for your ride to pick you up at NOON on the last day.
