- Sun screen (We’ll have extra if you need it)
- Snack- due to food allergies there will be no sharing.
- Lunch – the crows at our outdoor camps are really good at taking lunches. Make sure you have food in closed containers so that those pesky birds cannot open and take it away!
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT IS RAINING?
Knock on wood, it has rarely rained on our camps, but in the case that it does, we do have a plan! We will be watching the forecast closely and if it is just sprinkling, we will take cover by the play structure. If it looks like we will be getting a downpour, we’ll have camp at our studio located at 3524 NE 95th Street, in the same building as Christopher Robin and One Life Community Church. We will email you if camp will be held at our studio. If you do not receive an email from us, the camp will be held at View Ridge Park.
