6. What if my child must arrive late or leave early?

We understand that a camp participant may be required to leave for circumstances related to illness or family emergency. In the case that a participant considered to be a minor must leave the camp, a parent or guardian must notify the camp office at (903) 468-8124. The counseling staff will then be notified, and we will provide assistance to the student in making arrangements for departure.

Please make travel arrangements so that your child arrives on the first day and leaves at the close of the camp on Saturday.
