Clubbers and Bridgers: These programs begin on Monday, June 23, 2025. Camp check-in is from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm.
Camper arrival on June 27 (1st and full sessions) or July 22 (2nd session): Camp check-in is from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Sign up for your preferred arrival time slot in the Arrival Plans step of your camper’s online paperwork. You will receive an email with your camper’s assigned arrival time and check-in tent in mid-May. Upon arrival, you will be directed to your check-in tent.
- Health Checks: A camp nurse will greet you to conduct a brief health check and collect any medications.
- Meet Your Counselor! Your camper’s tent/cabin counselor will also be present to introduce themselves. We invite you to stay and chat for a few minutes, but we ask that you remain in the check-in area.
- Luggage: Once unloaded, your camper’s belongings will be tagged. A camp truck will collect luggage throughout the day and deliver it to each camper’s tent/cabin.
- Rental Packages: If your camper signed up for a uniform or trunk & bedding rental, the package will be waiting for them in their tent or cabin.
- Quick Good-byes! We expect drop-off to take about 15 minutes. There will be porta-potties set up for families to use on their way out.
- Camp Tours for New Families: New families (and those who have not seen their child’s camp before) are invited to attend a brief tour after dropping off their camper. Tours will include all the main buildings on campus but will not include the units where campers and counselors live. If interested in a tour, please sign up ahead of time in the Arrival Plans step of your camper’s online paperwork.
- Gathering at the Small Barn: We hope you will join Vanessa Mendillo Riegler, Executive Director of the Aloha Foundation, and other camp parents after you drop off your camper for a relaxed gathering in the “small barn” at the north end of Lake Morey. Stop by after drop-off and stay for 10 minutes, an hour, or as long as your schedule permits! There will be postcards for writing the first message to your camper, as well as light refreshments to enjoy before you get back on the road. The small barn is about ¼ mile from Lanakila at 3183 Lake Morey Road, just around the corner from the Aloha Foundation Office.
