Early Arrival: Thursday, May 21 starting at noon
While staff (those with scholarships) are expected to come Thursday and help set up, all other campers who wish to arrive early are also expected to assist with setting up the camp. Contact Camp Manager Aziza Riely (azizaozarkcamp@gmail.com) to arrange for early arrival.

If you would like to arrive early but not participate in camp setup, you may do so for a fee of $50 per adult.

Early Registration Deadline May 8
Receiving your registration form with fees paid by the Early Registration Deadline of Friday, May 8 will allow us to save money in bulk food purchases, thereby keeping your camp fees affordable.

We also pay the State Park a daily rate for each camper. Accurate registration information helps us keep the cost of camp affordable for us all.

Importance of Accurate Headcounts
Keep in mind that giving us your arrival and departure days and times on your registration form helps us plan for headcounts at meals. If there are changes in your arrival or departure times that will affect meal counts, please tell the registration staff! This is important during camp too if you leave before Tuesday morning.
