This year's theme is: D
Campers will be actively participating in events from early morning to very late into the evening (past 11:00 PM)
Cell phones -- Ceta Canyon has no cell phone service. Please do not send a phone with your child.
There is a gift shop. We do not necessarily have time built in for campers to go to the gift shop, but some may choose to during mealtime or free time. If you choose to send money with your camper, please know that it is their responsibility to keep up with their money!
There is a vending machine at the dance if you would like to send quarters.
Please have a discussion with your child about being involved in all activities. The more involved they are in the activities, the more they will take away from Leader Lab.
All campers are expected to observe the designated curfew and lights-out times.
Campers will be placed in color groups that are directed by two high school counselors. These counselors are selected through an application process. They are fully trained prior to campers' arrival.
Agents will also be there providing supervision during camp. This year, Sierra will be attending for Lynn County!
Please consider what you allow your child to bring. There is almost no free time during camp, so there is no need to bring game systems, iPads, etc. They are busy from sunup to well past sundown!
You are responsible for your transportation to and from Ceta Canyon. Kaci is planning to take a load up and pick up, but it is first come first served. Sierra possibly will have room--but you need to contact her.
