substances unless under the prescription of a doctor. Prior to Arrival: On Monday: - Read
& discuss the expectations of behavior (see separate document) with your
camper. - Mark all personal
belongings with your campers name. C.F. will not be responsible for any lost or
damaged belongings. - Be sure that all paperwork and payments are in order. - Plan to enjoy your time
apart from your camper! Every Day: - Have your camper wear plain shoes or sandals of some kind. - Do not wear flipflops, crocs, or sneakers. - Do not wear clothes with a camo print. - Do not wear shorts. - Pack a suitable
lunch, except for Friday. On that day Camp Flintlock (C.F.) will provide a
Colonial meal for the campers. C.F. will also provide snacks & drink each

to bring a prescription medication then be sure to pack it in the original
container. - Pack sunscreen lotion
(if necessary). - Pack spending money
for the C.F. store (optional). Campers may bring cash to spend in the store
during camp hours and/or they may go shopping with their families after they

the fife, drum, violin, viola, tin whistle, jaw harp or bagpipes then we
strongly encourage them to bring their instruments. C.F. can ensure a safe place
