FIRST TIME CAMPERS

Is my child ready for overnight Camp? Is Camp Varsity right for my child? Please read the list below as it describes expectations of all campers during their time at Camp Varsity. We recommend practicing time away from the home environment before sending your child to overnight camp. Read more about preparing for Camp here.
