Parental pick up To ensure your child’s safety, only the camper’s parent/guardian may pick him/her up at the end of camp or for an early departure. If you desire a friend or relative to give your child a ride, Camp Li-Wa must receive a letter – signed by the camper’s parent/guardian – stating the name of the adult who is authorized to pick up the child and when the child should be released into his/her care. You may fax this info to us at 457-1325 if not turned in personally. Every visitor must check-in at the office and all campers leaving the premises during camp time will need to be signed out at the office. We understand that sometimes children will need to be picked up for sporting or other events in the evening. We ask that you return your child by 9:30 p.m. to the Program Director/Counselor because the office will be closed. If you miss the 9:30 p.m. deadline we ask that the child spend the night at home and return to camp at 9:00 a.m. to the lower dining hall for breakfast.

Office Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. year round.
