A security pass is given to the parent by the team leader during check-in. Please stop by the Welcome Center and drop off the security pass and provide the name and phone number of the authorized adult who will be picking up your child. This adult must present a photo ID to the Welcome Center in order to receive your child’s security pass which they then present to your child’s Team Leader.

Campers bring their own bagged lunches and eat with their team. Each team has a picnic cooler for storing their lunches. We recommend that lunches be packed in disposable plastic bags. Condensation from water bottles causes paper bags to break. Water is available to the campers throughout the day.
Campers should wear their bathing suit under their KidsFest shirt to camp and bring a towel and a change of clothes. Items should be packed in a drawstring type bag. No large backpacks please! PLEASE LABEL ALL PERSONAL ITEMS INCLUDING TEAM #.
