Each camper must follow the daily program and will not be excused except in case of sickness, and if sick you will be in the care of a competent doctor and nurse. No boy or girl will be allowed to leave campgrounds or go in the water at any time other than directed by schedule and accompanied by Directors of Camp. Absolute discipline will be a feature of our camp and that makes a safe, happy, successful encampment.
