FAQs
Where will students sleep?
In comfortable cabin-style lodging at Lakeside. They are nice enough to keep your kids comfortable, but not so nice that they'll forget about home.
Are all meals included?
Yes. Meals are provided either by the camp or the conference. Students may bring extra snacks.
What if my student takes medication?
Bring medicine with you (in a Ziplock bag, with clear instructions) when you check your student in. Any questions? Reach out to Nate:
