PALI CAMP INFORMATION 19WEATHER FORECAST WILL BE POSTED HERE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE TRIP
Camp Store
Students will NOT be going to the actual camp store. If you want to purchase Pali merchandise (sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, etc.) you must buy it BEFORE 4/1/19 online. Simply go to store.paliinstitute.com . You will need to include our school name, arrival date (4/1/19) and their students name when processing the order to guarantee it gets to the correct table when the store delivers the orders at camp. Please do not send money with your student as we will not be going to the store at camp. The most popular items tend to be the sweatshirts and tees.
Inhalers/Epi-pens
Inhalers and Epi-pens that are currently stored at school will NOT be going with us to camp per district policy about overnight trips. You will need to provide inhalers/epi-pens from home. The camp recommends campers self-carry. I will be reaching out individually to all students who indicated inhaler/epi-pen use to make sure this is OK.
Medication
All medication (prescribed and over the counter) MUST be in the original container/package. Please bring meds in the ORIGINAL PACKAGE in a plastic bag with your student’s name on it and instructions. They will be checked in the morning we leave and delivered to the camp nurse when we arrive. She cannot accept medication that is not in the original container/package per camp policy.
Check in and Return Time
Students will check in on the Montana lawn at 7:45am the day we leave. They drop their luggage by the buses (any bus), get their name tag (a way for us to check them in), drop off medication if needed at the medication table, and go to the yard to play. We leave just after 8:30 am. We return Wednesday around 1:30pm. We will send out updates.
Volunteers
We need a few volunteers to help us check in students on Monday morning, April 1st. If you are interested please contact Deanna Sinfield. We also could use saltine crackers and extra trash bags.
