CHECK IN IS BETWEEN 1PM AND 2PM. We need you to arrive during this window, not before or after to ensure that the rest of our day is on schedule. If you are arriving later for some reason, please email jmartin@stmaryhudson to let her know when to expect you

medications
Once you have checked in, if you are dropping off any medication, you will be directed over to the Nurse to drop off your meds.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Only bring enough medication to last the entire time at camp. Meds MUST be kept in their original packaging/bottle that identifies the prescribing physician (if prescription drug), the name of the medication, the dosage, and the frequency of administration. Be away that ALL medications MUST be kept locked in the nurse's station.
Turn in all labeled meds in their original container to the nurse. Loose pills are not accepted. Read more med guidelines.
If you would like to bring mail for your camper to read throughout the week, please have it labeled with their first and last name and their grade on the outside of EACH envelope. If you would like a specific card delivered on a certain day of the week, please indicate that on the outside also, otherwise our mail deliverers will split them up over the week.
There will be a mailbox in the Brown Narthex for letters at St. Mary starting on May 1st, until Wednesday after 9am Mass.
Your campers can send letters home to you over the week! Please send them with all the necessities (help them address the envelopes before they go please! Including stamps!)
*letters only please, no gifts, treats or snacks will be delivered to campers in order to keep things equal!
Dropping off your camper at Camp Celebrate can be a little overwhelming, especially for first-time parents. There’s the mixed emotions about dropping off your camper, plus all the work of getting packed and loaded up, and then that sneaking feeling like you forgot to do something important. We’ve got your back! This in-depth guide covers everything you need to know to have a smooth and enjoyable drop-off experience!
Here is a list of what to bring (and what not to bring) with you to Camp for the week as well as some pro-tips to new campers.

CELEBRATELIFE WEBSITE
YOU WON'T MISS A MOMENT
Being apart from your child can be difficult, even if you know they’re having a blast while away at camp. But with Camp Celebrate's CelebrateLife website portal, you won’t have to wait for the end of the week to hear about your camper’s experience! You’ll get a front row seat with photos, daily highlight videos, digital mail, and more! CELEBRATELIFE ONLY BECOMES ACTIVE ONCE AT CAMP
closing day
pick up- friday 2:00pm
A week at camp goes by sooner than you know it, but that doesn’t mean the fun is over yet! Before you leave, we want to celebrate your child’s week of camp by inviting you to join us for closing Mass, a message from the Directors, and an awards ceremony. This will be on the main field/tent. Parking space will be limited (since we are using the space for Mass that we normally use for parking). You won’t want to miss this!
FYI we are packing in the fun right until the last few minutes of your arrival. Plan for your campers to be tired, dirty and probably hungry for another meal! Packing an extra towel/blanket to put down on your car seats on the way home is not a bad idea.
