Cell phones are asked to be kept away at all times, unless you are on Leadership Team. We suggest bringing a watch to keep time and provide paper schedules if you need one. If you’d like to take photos bring a polaroid or digital camera.

Otherwise, the expectation is that your cell phones stay in your bag during the week.

Counselor staff who complete staff training and commit to counseling at least 1 week will receive a camp name at the end of staff training.

Support staff who are serving their third year will receive a camp name at the end of staff training.

If you need financial assistance, we recommend fundraising.

Prior to camp we will send you a balance reminder, if you have one.

You can bring cash, a check made out to Camas Meadows at check in OR you can pay online here before arriving or while checking in.

If you are unable to pay the balance we encourage you to fundraise for your staff fee with your staff letters. If after sending your letters you still need financial assistance, please let us know.

Yes! We encourage families to write encouraging letters or send care packages.

Tell your friends and family to write you or send goodies!

Please do not include any items with peanuts or tree nuts.

There are two ways to get letters or packages:

1. Parents may drop off packages or letters when you check in. Make sure all letters or packages are labeled with your name.

2. Mail your letter or package via USPS. They should be sent a week in advance to reach camp in time. The mailing address is: “YOUR NAME”

If you are on our support crew or Leadership team you are required to have a food handlers permit. It is optional for all other staff.
