Attendance policy: In fairness to everyone, please plan to attend all 6 days of camp. If a camper is sick, please keep them home and let us know so that we can keep attendance records.

Expectations: We want everyone to have a wonderful time and will do all in our power to make that so. We keep a small staff to camper ratio so that each camper can have individual attention and support.

In case serious behavioral issues apply, the Camp Director will contact the camper’s parents or guardians to work out a plan. PRH reserves the right to ask campers who have been disruptive, bullied others, or created a dangerous environment not to return.

What is provided: Lunch and snacks. Chromebook laptops and digital point-and-shoot cameras. Photo paper and framing supplies.

Cost: Arts enrichment programs including Teens in CTRL are free!
