The cost to register for one half week of Residential Camp is $265, which includes a $50 refundable security deposit. If there's more damage than usual wear and tear to your camper's equipment by the end of the session, you'll get the deposit back minus any repair costs.

There are a number of things you, the parent will want to do to prepare for your camper's session:

1. Submit registration, fees, a recent photo of your camper, and a copy of the front and back of your camper's insurance card.

2. Write some letters to your camper (optional, but highly recommended). You can mail these in during camp, or save on postage by dropping them off with our staff at check-in. (In your letters, please do not tell your camper that you miss them, but rather, emphasize how proud you are of them.)

3. Pack for camp using the packing lists below. We do not require campers to bring anything beyond common household items, but please review the list well in advance to make sure you have everything needed.

4. Review our check-in/check-out procedures, below.

5. With your camper, review our behavioral guidelines and discipline policy, below.

Campers are not permitted, under any circumstances, to bring:

• Pants, sweaters, or socks made primarily of synthetic materials (due to working around fires)

• Firearms or fireworks

• Food, candy, drinks, or alcohol

• Prescription drugs that are not in the original packaging with the camper's name on the label or over the counter medications that have not been approved by a legal guardian (all medications must be handed over to Camp Flintlock staff at check-in)

• Tobacco products of any kind

• Any and all electronic items (i.e. electronic games, radios, iPods, cell phones, etc.) with the exception of cameras

• Aerosols of any kind (if someone brings aerosol bug/body/hair spray, there will be an attempt to build a flamethrower)

Campers are permitted to bring the following items:

• Period-appropriate bladed tools such as knives or tomahawks (with a parent's permission)

• Their own colonial-style clothing

• Any period-appropriate instruments such as the fife, drum, violin, viola, tin whistle, jaw harp, dulcimer, or bagpipes (Camp Flintlock can ensure a safe place for these instruments)

Certain items will be collected and held by Camp Flintlock staff at check-in:

• Medications: Camp Flintlock will hold all medications and dispense them at the designated times. Please ensure that any prescription medications are packaged in their original container with the prescription label attached.

• Camper Money: Campers are encouraged to bring $30-$100 to spend in the Camp Flintlock Store. Staff will hold this money and keep track of how much your camper spends. Any money remaining in their account by the end of camp session will be returned to the camper's guardian.

• Musical Instruments: Campers are encouraged to bring any period-appropriate instruments such as the fife, drum, violin, viola, tin whistle, jaw harp, dulcimer, or bagpipes. However, to ensure the safety of these items, staff will collect them at check-in and store them in a safe, dry place until the appropriate time(s) for playing music.
