The group will settle in at the Day Camp building (co-ed) on mattresses to rest up for another eventful day and will then join the day camp activities as usual after breakfast the next morning and lunch on Friday.

Day Camp will be held in our NEWLY RENOVATED Day Camp Building, across the street from main camp!
