Upon arrival, please park in Blithewold’s main parking lot and check-in your child inside the Carriage House. Please pick-up your child in the Carriage House at the end of the day.
Please provide lunch, snacks, and drinks (other than water), as well as sunscreen and insect repellent. We will be spending time both inside and outside. We suggest you equip your child with extra layers, comfortable footwear, and waterproof clothing. An extra pair of shoes is recommended.
Required Forms:
Your child will not be able to attend camp without our receipt of two important forms:
-Health History

Within a few weeks of your registration, you will receive a confirmation letter and these forms in the mail. You can also download these forms by clicking on the links above. As parent or guardian, please complete these forms and bring them with you to Blithewold by the start date of camp.
We hope that your child will enjoy more than one camp session with us this summer! However, please be aware that our cancellation policy is in effect. There is a $25 administrative fee for all cancellations after registration is submitted.
