Cabin assignments are made on the basis of grade. It might seem logical to try to guarantee a happy camp experience by requesting a specific cabin mate for your child. Experienced Camp Directors universally agree that these requests frequently create more problems than they solve. In addition, our camps do not schedule daily activities or dining hall assignments by cabin, therefore campers from different cabins have many opportunities to spend time together at camp. With that in mind, cabin mate requests may be submitted, but are not encouraged.
- Campers may request one cabin mate, when both campers are in the same grade and the request comes from both families.
- Cabin mate requests are not guaranteed as many factors go into cabin placement decisions.
- Cabin assignments are revealed when the campers arrive at the island.
- Requests may be emailed with the subject line Cabin Mate Request to:
