Handbook
family handbook
We are excited that you have chosen to (re)join our camp family. This handbook will help you prepare for camp. It’s updated each year; families of new and returning campers are encouraged to read it carefully.
There are many ways that we try to strengthen the Akeela community. We create an environment that encourages kindness, friendship, participation and acceptance – and we send clear and congruent messages to our campers and their families. To accomplish our goals, we need the support of both campers and their parents. The easiest and most important way that you, as parents and guardians, can help to foster the Akeela community is by adhering to our rules and policies and ensuring that your camper understands them as well.
We thank you in advance for your assistance.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time with questions or concerns.
Yours in camping,
Debbie and Eric Sasson, Camp Directors
