We are scheduled to load up at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, July 4th, for the return trip home. Please meet the bus at the Riverstone parking lot at 12:45 p.m. (The bus will not stop for lunch.) **Everything must be labeled and fit in one suitcase!**
Check in Procedure For Bus Riders:
-
All check-in will be done at Riverstone Church prior to boarding the buses.
-
Make sure EVERYTHING you bring has a name tag: ** One Suitcase, one sleeping bag and one pillow**

Students will mark all their belongings with tape that they will write their names on at the check in table.

Report all medical conditions or issues with the nurse at RiverStone during check-in. This will give us a chance to meet you and discuss any questions we may have. We can only accept medications in a pharmacy produced and labeled bottle. In addition, sending only the number of meds your camper will need administered for the week is very helpful.
