Visitation and Travel To and From Camp

Policy may be altered depending on the health of our camp community.

  • Arrival Day Sunday June 29th and Sunday July 21st: All parents/guardians will be permitted to visit your camper’s unit and meet staff upon camper drop off. Specific opening day procedures will be shared prior to the start of the session.
  • We do not offer visits for single session 3 week campers during the session
  • Saturday July 20th: Full season campers may have a visit with parents/guardians. Parents of Full Season campers may plan a visit on Saturday July 20th, anytime 9:00am to 5:00pm. Please email and let the Wyonegonic office know if you are planning to visit and your anticipated timing. You are welcome to enjoy leisure time at camp, including a buffet lunch at 12:30pm. No activities for parents will be scheduled or staffed. You may sign your camper out for a local visit outside of Wyonegonic as well. All campers must return (and parents must depart) by 5:00pm. Wyonegonic will plan programming and activities for those campers that will not have a parent visiting.
  • Friday Evening August 10th: Families and alumnae are invited to our outdoor closing Candlenight Ceremony – weather permitting.
  • Departure Day Saturday July 20th and Saturday August 11th: All parents/guardians will be permitted to visit your camper’s unit upon camper pick up.

Travel To and From Camp

Be sure to read the 2024 Wyonegonic Transportation Resource document found in your Parent Login before you complete the required Transportation Form. It will provide detailed information on your camper’s travel options. Arriving or departing on alternative days is not accepted without prior Camp Admin approval. Drop off and pick up by auto is the preferred method for transportation to and from camp.

The Camp Office must know in advance how your camper is traveling to and from camp, even if you plan on driving.
