The Salmon Lake Highway Reconstruction project is currently underway. This is a huge undertaking for the stretch of Highway 83 along Salmon Lake, which will widen the road, smooth out curves, and add retaining walls.

Construction is ongoing on both sides of our landing gate. It will affect EVERYONE traveling to camp for pick-up regardless of where families or parents are traveling from. While our staff is working closely with the Kiewit crew to find a time saving solution for our camp families, we know that delays are inevitable. With this in mind, we ask that you plan ahead and include an additional 30 minutes into your travel time when coming for pick-up. Fortunately, Sunday check-in will be unaffected.

We know this is a major inconvenience for our families and we appreciate your patience as we navigate this difficult situation.

YOUNG CAMPERS & HOMESICKNESS
Here are a few helpful tips if you feel your camper may experience homesickness while away at camp. Please remember, counselors are well-trained in the area of homesickness!

• Pack together and talk about camp as you pack.
• Make sure this will not be the first time your camper has stayed away from home overnight. Arrange for a sleepover at least once before the camp week.
• Let your camper know it is okay to miss home, but that does not mean they cannot or will not still have fun.
• Write your camper often. It is best to mail a letter or postcard the day before your camper leaves, and another on the day they leave for camp.
• When writing to your camper, do not make reference to how lonely you feel without your camper.
• Reassure your camper that you will be there to pick them up on the last day of camp.
• Make your goodbyes at drop off short and sweet, encourage your camper to get involved with any of the fun activities taking place during drop off.
