There is always lots of "heavy lifting" on camp move-in day.

Every Camper is given material to make their very own hand made name tag.

The freindly and efficient Camp registration team helps everyone get checked in and on their way to their new home.

Everyone lends a hand when the truck stops to unload.

This camper will soon be unpacking and making a nest for herself.

The first dinner at Camp is always a lively - and noisy affair, as nearly 100 Campers, Staff and CITs get to know each other.
