If sprinkles or light rain are expected, wear a raincoat, it is okay to get wet and muddy at outdoor nature camp! If heavy storms are forecast, we reserve the right to hold camp in the Visitor Center or cancel at our discretion.  We will post any weather cancellations on our website and notify parents by 8:30 a.m.

You will be contacted immediately should there be any emergency involving your child or if your child becomes ill during camp.  For this reason, it is important that we have all your emergency contact information at the start of the camp. 

It can get very warm in the sun so wear light colors. If your child is sun sensitive, please bring a hat and sunscreen. If a camper wishes to bring insect repellent, he/she will be responsible for applying and carrying it. We recommend applying insect repellant before you get to the Preserve.  As most activities are outdoors, we do recommend that you check your child for ticks at the end of each day.

Hands-on exploration is likely to leave your child a little dirty so please do not wear new or favorite articles of clothing to camp. Old clothes and sneakers are strongly recommended.  No sandals, flip flops or open-toed shoes please. Lightweight long pants or shorts that come down to the knees will also provide protection from briars and insects. Small backpacks may be brought to carry personal items. Full day campers should also bring a change of clothes and a towel.

Please be sure to send your child with a healthy lunch (full day sessions), snack, and water each day. These should be clearly marked with your child’s name. No refrigerator is available. We encourage campers to “GO GREEN” by packing a lunch that uses reusable containers and water bottles.

If your child requires medication during the time they are in our care, please notify the  Environmental Education Manager, Jenn Bilger, prior to the first day of camp. Our staff is not authorized to handle any medications. If needed, a staff member can verbally assist your child with taking his or her medication.  Please make sure all medication is labeled with your child’s name.

Because the safety of your child(ren) is of the utmost importance, we have implemented a specific policy for drop-off and pick-up. Each child must be checked in camp staff by a parent or designated authorized adult.  Each parent will be asked to sign in his/her child at the beginning of the day and to sign out his/her child at the conclusion of camp.

If you need to have someone that wasn't initally listed as a authroized drop-off/pick-up person, a written note or email must be given to PVNC staff.

All personal belongings should be marked with the child’s name. You may check with the Camp Counselor or Visitor Center for any found items that could not be matched with an owner. After the summer camp session has ended, any unclaimed items will be donated to charity.
