Checking In
Check-in begins at YMCA Camp Mason (23 Birch Ridge Rd, Hardwick Township, NJ) on Monday, August 24th between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. If students are traveling with their group, your school/community advisor is the point of contact regarding transportation times. Upon arrival, you/your child will be greeted by our staff members, who will be ready to guide you through the registration process.
Please do not arrive earlier than 10:00am, as the entrance to camp will be closed until registration begins.
Health & Wellness
It is essential that if your child is sick with a fever, experiences vomiting or diarrhea, or symptoms of Covid-19 within 48 hours prior to the start of the conference, that they do not attend. While we want everyone to have the chance to participate, we also need to ensure the overall health and wellness of our camp population. Thank you for your understanding!
Phone Use
Between our busy days at camp and a poor cell reception, students may not have the time or ability to text/call/video chat with you. If you need to get in contact with your child or LMTI staff during the week, please call the Camp Mason office at 908-362-8217.
Medications
We will have a Registered Nurse present for the duration of the conference to administer any medications (both prescribed and over the counter medications) to participants.
All medications, including prescription and non prescription vitamins, must be in their original, labeled bottles with clear dosage information. If there is a change in dosage from the time of your application, please contact Kira at KChontow@pipnj.org.
Conference Conclusion & Departure
The conference will conclude on Friday with an award ceremony to celebrate work done by students throughout the year. Parents and guardians are invited to attend the festivities, also referred to as Friends and Family Day, beginning at 2:00pm and concluding at 3:00pm. After the award ceremony concludes, students are able to collect their luggage and head home.
