LIFE AT CAMP
-
Unfortunately, we do not allow visits from families during the week because it interrupts your child’s adjustment to their small groups and their full experience at LID Camp.
-
When you register your child for LID Camp, a camper welcome packet will be mailed to you detailing a list of items and clothing your child is recommended to bring. These generally are enough clothing to last 5 days and 4 nights, a jacket for nights, comfortable closed toe shoes, toiletries and shower supplies, and anything else your child will need to stay comfortable during their time at camp.
-
Our campsite provides three balanced meals daily, including vegetarian options. Please list all dietary restrictions on your child’s registration form.

We always have a health professional on-site to keep our campers safe. Details like health hazards and allergies are constantly monitored. Families will be given the phone number to the landline in case of emergency.
