LOST AND FOUND
All personal articles should be plainly marked with your camper’s name. Please order name tapes, a camp stamp, or a marking pen to identify your child’s clothing. A good vendor for some great washable nametags is Label Daddy. Visit LabelDaddy.com and enter CACTUS for 25% off. This company offers high-quality washable name tags. Please mark your camper’s clothing with first and last names.
Many campers have similar or the same clothing and may inadvertently go home with the wrong child. Items with name labels almost always typically make it back to the correct child. We suggest you check your child’s bag each evening to make sure items have not been left at camp and your child brought home only items that belong to them. We are happy to assist in trying to locate lost items. Call, text, or email the camp office to give us details. All items that have accumulated and are not claimed by Labor Day will be donated.
