Post-Camp Services
At the end of each session, one of the child’s cabin counselors will write a report summarizing the child’s experience at camp. The report provides insights on such areas as interaction with peers and counselors, participation in programs, adjustment with the separation from home, problems or other relevant details. A copy of this report will be sent to the parent or guardian of the child. Upon consent of the guardian, the referring agency will also receive a copy of that report.
