Camper Check-In at Sibling Camp
We know that the first day of camp can be both exciting and nerve-racking. To help prepare you and your camper, this post will go over what to expect on the first day of camp.
But First, A Few Reminders…
Camp dates: August 5-10 at Berkshire Lake Camp in Hinsdale, MA
If you are driving to camp: check-in is from 1:00-2:00PM at Berkshire Lake Camp (pick-up is at 10:00AM on Saturday, August 10th at the same location).
If your child is taking the bus to camp: check-in is at 9:00AM at Memorial School in Medfield, MA (pick-up is at 12:30PM on Saturday, August 10th at the same location).
Please be sure to fill out the Transportation Form in the Parent Portal to let us know how your child will be arriving to camp.
Please be sure to update your child's Health History form with any medications they will be bringing to camp. This form can be accessed through the Parent Portal. Check-in will go much faster if you update this ahead of time.
What to expect at Day 1 drop-off:
Please do not get out of your vehicle when you arrive!
We will be providing rapid antigen tests upon arrival (whether that is to the bus site or to the campsite). .A Camp Casco volunteer will greet you at your car and provide you with a rapid antigen test.
A Camp Casco medical volunteer will meet you at your vehicle while we await the covid test results, and will go over your child's health records. We will confirm any medications your child is bringing, allergies, dietary restrictions, and general care notes.
Once they have been checked in by a Medical Volunteer, and their covid test comes back negative, they may exit the vehicle and join their fellow campers!
If your child is taking the bus, volunteers will provide entertainment for the campers leading up to bus departure. If your child is fully checked in, you do not need to stay until the bus departs.
Please note that we will not be doing daily rapid antigen tests. We will be testing once at drop-off, and as necessary throughout the week.
