(For bedding information, please see “What to Bring” section above.)

As part of your registration fee, all of your meals while at camp will be provided by the camp’s kitchen staff. Your student may bring snacks for the car ride or to keep in the cabins for between meals.
*There is a place on the sign up form to specify allergies and other needs concerning food.
WHAT ABOUT MY STUDENT’S MEDICINES?
The group leader(s) will need to take responsibility for the administration of any medicines to your student(s). We will take care of any needs you may have. Please contact Nate Diamond before the trip so arrangements can be made. (216) 562-9232 // nate@velocitycleveland.org
