Security Pass
A security pass is issued to each camper parent at check-in with cabin assignments. This pass must be presented to your camper’s counselor at check out in order for your camper to be released. By giving this pass to someone else, you are authorizing him/her to pick up your child. Parents without a security pass must report to the health lodge with identification to be positively identified before picking up their camper at their cabin.
