Dear Adventure Camp Parents:

RE: Schedule for Adventure Camp week of July 11-15, 2011

We’re delighted that your child will be participating in our Adventure Camp. Wayne Wheeler, a high school teacher from Hamilton, will once again chaperone the group. Wayne is a terrific leader and an experienced advanced swimmer for water activities. He is also a certified educator with the State of NJ, certified in CPR and First Aid, and possesses a CDL driver’s license. Campers enjoy this travel camp because of the small group and the ability to vote on alternative destinations.

The information listed below will help you prepare for your camper’s adventure. Please be aware that the schedule is tentative and may be revised if there are weather related concerns. One alternative choice for when the weather is rocky is Rock Climbing, so please complete a release form. To obtain a copy of the form, visit our website at www.mccc.edu/campcollege. Select Camp Forms, Letters to Parents and Liability Release Agreement. Please print and return the release form with your camper.

The scheduled check-in time is 8:15am; Return time is 4pm unless otherwise noted, but please be patient if we run into traffic delays.
