Cabin Assignments

 

Campers are placed in cabins based on gender identity listed on the registration form, age, grade, cabinmate requests or if they selected the all gender cabin option. 

 

Cabinmate Requests

We will do our best to fulfill cabinmate requests. To guarantee a request, campers must list each other, be of similar age, and attend the same camp. During registration you can list your first choice cabinmate request and then list any other additional requests or information. You are also able to update cabin-mate request information at anytime leading up to camp. Large groups of cabinmate requests can be difficult to accommodate. Please see our registration page for tips for large groups.

​

Switching Cabins

A variety of reasons may result in us or a camper to believe a cabin switch is necessary. It could be due to medical accommodations, cabinmate requests, cabin dynamics or the cabin that they were assigned to does not fit their gender or preference. Should the situation arise we would be in contact with caregivers to come to a decision.

​

Non-Disclosure of Cabinmate's Identities 
In keeping with our values of safety and respect, we will honor each individual’s right to privacy. Families will not be notified of the legal names, medical histories, gender identity, or any other personal information about a child’s cabinmates or counselors before, during or after the camp session.  

 

All Gender Cabin Information

​

We work hard to affirm campers for who they are when it comes to family background, racial identity, religious beliefs, gender identity, and more. In order to offer a gender-identity affirming experience for all campers, we would like to offer a cabin for campers for all gender identities and allies so they can be with other supportive campers and staff. We hope that by creating an all gender cabin option, campers will be able to fully be themselves in a safe and inclusive space.

FAQ

-How do I register for the all gender cabin? While entering the lottery there is a question that asks preference for the all gender cabin. The options are 'No-I am not interested', 'Yes and my top preference is to be in an all gender cabin over my session preferences' and 'Yes but only if it is offered during my preferred camp session.' This will allow the administrative team to know where your camper would like to be assigned. Once a spot has been offered, there is a form while registering that will ask cabinmate requests and interest in the all gender cabin. 
- I’m not familiar with the term non-binary gender identity or gender expansiveness. What is all this about? According to www.genderspectrum.org, gender-expansive is an umbrella term used for individuals that broaden their own culture’s commonly held definitions of gender, including expectations for its expression, identities, roles, and/or other perceived gender norms. Gender-expansive individuals include those with transgender and non-binary identities, as well as those whose gender in some way is seen to be stretching society’s notions of gender.
- Is this definitely happening? It is subject to interest. In past summers, we have only had enough interest to offer the cabin during some Teen Weeks. If we don’t have enough campers enroll to fill a cabin, we will be in touch with interested families to make a plan.
- How will my camper change in this cabin? There will be private changing spaces in the cabin for campers to change in. We are working to have these changing stations in every cabin so that no matter where campers are assigned there is a changing space for them to use if they would like.
- What if my camper says they want to be in the All Gegnder cabin once they arrive at camp? It is up to you as a caregiver to decide which cabin assignment is right for your camper. Should your camper ask to switch we will be in contact with you.
- My child is interested in this cabin option, but I don’t want their experience at camp to be ALL about gender. This cabin will simply be a “home base” at camp, and all campers will participate in the normal program at camp. We hope this space will allow them a chance to have some conversations about gender if they want to, but more importantly to just be themselves and enjoy the regular parts of the camp experience.
