• Pearce Williams has a no-phone policy during camp sessions to encourage face-to-face interaction and outdoor activities.

• Campers are prohibited from bringing electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, tablets, gaming systems), but if necessary, these items must be approved by Camp Director.

• ​ALL medications must be in their original containers and handed in to the Camp Medic upon arrival.

• Upon arrival, we conduct head lice checks for all campers as a precautionary measure. We recommend that parents check their child’s head for lice prior to arrival to ensure a smooth check-in process and help maintain a lice-free camp environment.

• Parents are strongly encouraged not to send their child to camp if they are feeling unwell or showing symptoms of illness, as this helps prevent the spread of sickness and ensures a healthy environment for all campers and staff.

• See our "Health & Safety" page for further details.
