Q: What is the difference in the overnight camp “commuter” vs “residential”?
Residential participants stay in the dorm and will benefit from a full camp experience with interaction of our camp staff and participants in dorms. Residential is preferred for all participants especially those travelling to camp.
Commuters do not stay in dorms and are dropped off for the first session and picked up after the last session of that day. Commuters will be responsible for making overnight accommodations and breakfast. In between sessions commuters will hang out at the dorms with all other campers.
