Early Pickup/ Late Arrival Procedures 

Please make every effort to drop off and pick up at the designated times. It is very disruptive to the rest of the campers in their group and the staff that have to take the time to meet your child(ren) at the Carman Welcome Center. If you need to pick up your child early or your child will be arriving late, you must notify the office via phone at 262-363-4386 (please leave a voicemail if your call is not answered).

Helpful Hints 

  • Apply sunscreen and bug repellent each day before your child comes to camp: For Mini-Tyke campers, sunscreen and insect repellent may only be applied on the written authorization of the parent. 

  • Water shoes or old tennis shoes (no flip flops) Many lakes in this area of Wisconsin have been infested with zebra mussels. We remove many from the shore every summer. However, they multiply quickly. These small clam-like mollusks have a pointed ridge that is sharp and can hurt when stepped on.
