The first and last days of camp can be a crazy time for families and friends of Camp Cross campers.  From ensuring that all the week’s necessities have been packed to making sure you know where you’re supposed to be and when, it can be a lot to handle when the time gets tight.

So this page aims to give you some of the basic information you’ll need in order to have a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience at Camp Cross.
