What else?
There will be no food provided or served as part of these camps. Therefore we require all parents and guardians to provide camp participants with a game plan for lunch and snacks! We strongly recommend that parents pack a lunch, a water bottle, and several snacks to have on hand during breaks throughout the day. Alternatively, if you provide your child with money, there are some cafes and restaurants on campus that students can purchase food and drink items from during their lunch break.
