My 6-Year-Old Son’s First Sleepaway Camp Experience

Off he went — my first born — to sleepaway camp. And even though I’m a camp director myself, I now saw it all through a camp parent’s eyes. And it’s not easy!

Updated electronics policy

What’s awesome about camp? Getting away from it all — especially from the endless bustle of the online world. That’s why our no electronics policy is so important and why it includes no digital cameras or video cameras.

All-camp No Package Policy 2016

Last year we introduced no packages for Mini Camp and this year the policy extends to all-camp. We’ve got good reasons why and we think parents will agree — and be relieved — to not send packages.

The Alleghany Rattler: Greetings from the leprechaun
