smoother.

Beds are pre-assigned, so there is no advantage in coming early! Our entrance will be locked until 4:00. The purpose of this policy is not to inconvenience our camper families, but to assure that we are 100% ready for your children! Like the cast in a big theater production, our staff needs every minute prior to "curtain time" to prepare, so please do not arrive early.

We ask parents to leave by 6:00 PM so campers can begin their camp experience. Also, please have any medication on hand to be given to our nurses during check-in.

Closing Day

Closing Ceremony officially begins at 8:30 a.m. The gates open at 7:45 a.m. to allow traffic flow on FM 1431. For your convenience, we will be serving refreshments on the parking lot side of the soccer field starting at 7:45 a.m., but we suggest that you not arrive prior to 8:10 a.m. unless you are a ‘patient waiter’!

To kick-off this year’s closing, we will conduct a formal flag ceremony on the soccer field at 8:30 a.m. sharp. Following the flag ceremony, we will serve breakfast and have a few brief ceremonies with your camper. We hope that you will be present; in the past, it has become a well-loved event with our families.

In order to keep the closing events running smoothly, we ask that you absolutely not cross the soccer field to see your child until the flag ceremony is over and hear our director give the announcement "Campers, you may now greet your families!" It is a special moment worth waiting for!

You will receive a closing packet including camper awards and evaluations and your Camper’s Photos at their cabin ceremony. You’ll want to be sure to check out the Camp Store on your way out, where you can choose to spend the balance of your camper's Oasis account. Just in case though, be sure to bring extra money to stock up on our new and exciting CBS Gear!

NOTE: Be aware of the Closing Day pick-up time and be prompt!!! No family has ever intended to miss the Closing Day, but it has happened. It is tough for a child to watch other campers with their families and then realize that his/her family is not there. For this reason, it is important that you ARRIVE BY 8:30 AM ON THE LAST SATURDAY OF THE TERM. We do not provide buses for the return trip home as we have found that children prefer to have a parent present for the Closing Day ceremonies.
