What to Bring

ocoeelogo

How many chapels are there at camp?


answer...   


Do I need to bring any spending money to camp?

We have a camp store which is open daily for snacks, camp shirts, hats, and novelty items. All money is deposited in the camp store during check-in and deducted from their account as it is spent. Campers do not need money in the cabins.

** Hiking Boots
(required for all Explorer sessions and recommended for all campers ages 12 and up)

There is a camp-out possibility during each one-week session. Your child will need a sleeping bag or old blanket. All campers in the two-week session, Explorer, Adventure and CIT camps will camp out.

Be sure boots are broken in before you come to camp. No new boots! T-shirts and hats with symbols or writing which exhibit a lack of good taste or disrespect are prohibited. This includes graphics such as beer logos, offensive rock and roll logos, illegal substances or inappropriate behavior. Two-piece bathing suits will not be allowed.

Radios, CD players, cell phones, beepers, fireworks, sheath knives, chewing gum, food and electronic games are not allowed in camp. Gum and food are a health problem because they attract insects and rodents into the cabin areas. Please don't send them.
