Will campers be separated?

We will be splitting campers into two age groups: 7-11 year-olds and 12-16 year-olds so that they will be given activities to match their interests and abilities.

Can my children who are 2 years apart be in the same camp group?

We make every effort to honor requests, but cannot guarantee them.
Camp is an awesome place to meet new friends and do some self discovery.
Campers in the 7-11 years of age group follow a different schedule than the campers in the 12-16 years of age group.
Siblings in these different age groups will not be in the same group due to their different activity schedules.
