Buddy Requests & Camp Groups

What if my child has a friend going to camp? Will they be in the same group?

If your child has a friend they would like to be grouped with, you may submit a buddy request. To request a buddy you must enter a full name (first and last) when registering for camp or by logging back into your ACTIVE account. We do our best to honor all buddy requests. 

Buddy requests must be made at least 2 weeks prior to the first day of the session your camper will be attending. Matched buddy requests have a greater likelihood of being accomodated. Please limit buddy requests to two.

We cannot guarantee buddy pairings even given timely notice. Groups are based on age, regardless of requests made.

How do I know which group my child will be in?

Groups are a maximum of 10 campers with two leaders, plus one specialist for rock climbing, kayaking, and the ropes course at Bolton Adventure Center. Each group  is broken up into ages, with Group 1 as the youngest campers in camp and Group 5 as the oldest group in camp.

Because groupings are determined by the overall registration population, we are unable to tell you groupings until the roster is finalized, typically mid-week prior to a session. You will receive an email from the camp management one week ahead of the session you are registered for with your child's group and a schedule of activities for the week.
