PHONE CALLS, MAIL, AND VISITORS
Campers love receiving mail and we encourage them to send cards & letters to their family & friends. We process incoming and outgoing mail daily. Mail received after the close of camp will be returned (except postcards). Phone calls to and from campers are not permitted, except in the case of illness or emergency. Parents and/or guardians are strongly encouraged not to visit, as this is a distraction for campers and sometimes triggers homesickness. Parents or guardians who must visit camp, should inform the camp director of the need to come to the camp site with as much lead-time as possible. This is a closed campus…Friends and other visitors are not permitted during camp sessions at any time. For our final performance and art gallery at the end of the week, however, we welcome the whole community to enjoy the show!

PARKING INSTRUCTIONS
Due to fire safety codes, family vehicles cannot be parked on the Sly Park campus unless the vehicle has a handicap parking permit or special parking arrangements have been made (these MUST be approved by the camp director prior to camp). Parking attendants will be on duty to STRICTLY ENFORCE the “no parking” policy. We fully understand that this is not an ideal situation and appreciate your patience and understanding that Sugarloaf Camp does not have other options for parking at this time. Shuttle buses from Sierra Ridge School will be available to transport families to the Sly Park campus for the performances.
Busses will leave from the Sierra Ridge School parking lot (driving directions enclosed) between 8:15am and 9:30am to take the school bus shuttle to the Sly Park campus (schedules for the shuttle will be available when you register on the first day of camp). We encourage you to come early. After the performance, the driver for your family should return via the shuttle to your vehicle and drive back to the Sly Park campus to pick up campers and gear.

VISUAL ARTS
We want you to learn as much as possible from your week at camp and to use what you have learned after you leave. To this end, we make sure that ample, good quality art materials are on hand, but all students will need to bring the following essential supplies to camp:
Additionally, bring any other drawing medium you particularly like, whether that is pastels, marking pens, or prismacolor pencils. Students wishing to draw a lot in color should bring ample supplies of that medium.
TEXTILE ARTS
I hope you are excited and ready to join us for the fourth year of our major! As I shop for supplies and plan for our class, I wanted to give you some important Information.
BAND
Bring your own instrument! It is in your own best interest to come to camp with an instrument that is in good working condition. Those using school instruments must make their own arrangements with the school instructor. Reed players need to bring at least FIVE REEDS. Brass players should bring valve oil or slide grease. Percussionists need to bring their own sticks and snare drum (if available).

Please bring a personal recording device for rehearsal use and appropriate clothes for the final performance. Examples are t-shirt or blouse without writing or logos (Sugarloaf t-shirt is acceptable), dress, skirts, pants.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Cameras
Check your camera over to see that it is functioning properly and make sure that batteries are fully charged. If you have a flash, bring it along and be sure to have fresh batteries in the flash. Bring any other accessories or lenses you have so you can learn how to use them! Black & white film can be hard to track down these days, so we will sell film for Photo I at camp for only $3 per roll.
THEATER
Auditions for Theater majors will be held the first day of each camp session, immediately after you register and drop off your belongings in your cabin or tent. Report to the gym for your audition. You will need your prepared monologue at this time.
VIDEO
Video students can bring a video camera but it is not required. Make sure that batteries are charged; bring back-up batteries, charging and computer connector cords and video media (tapes). You may also want to bring a pen or pencil and a journal to write down your ideas. You will be contacted closer to camp with further details.
DANCE
Dance students should bring comfortable, form fitting clothing; Jazz pants or sweat pants/shorts and a t-shirt or leotard is fine. No short-shorts or jeans please! Jazz, or ballet shoes. No sneakers. To aid students in writing down choreography, bring a spiral notebook and a pencil or pen. For the performance, students should bring black jazz pants and a plain black t-shirt.

Our day begins at 6:30am, with lights out at 10:00pm and is filled with a variety of instruction, recreational activities, free time, meals, and evening programs.
YOUR LIVING GROUP
You will be assigned to a living group with approximately eleven other campers, around the same age and/or grade as you but from various areas of study. An adult counselor will remain with you at meals, organized events, and overnight. Your counselor is there to help you have a fun and rewarding camp experience. Counselors are usually former campers, so you can ask them questions, get help with talent night ideas, and more. You will also get a chance to make new friends, be part of a team, and participate in living group activities (including competition for the prized Golden Broom!).
The oldest boys= living groups (B1 and B2) will again be housed in tents at the top of the hill in Tent City. Each tent will have an army-style cot for each camper and space for personal belongings. There are restrooms and shower facilities in the gym down the hill from this living area. If you are assigned to one of these living groups, you will be notified prior to camp.
MEALS
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided in the cafeteria each day with fresh fruit and water available to you throughout the day. A limited amount of snacks and drinks are for sale at the Sugarloaf Student Store during afternoon recreational time. Assemblies just before meal times offer organized games, distribution of inner-camp mail and US mail, and entertainment. Right after lunch, the whole camp takes a break for what we call F.O.B., (Flat on back) This is quiet time to take a nap, write letters to other campers, friends, and family, or talk quietly with your cabin group. After your final class for the day, a small, nutritious snack is provided just before the evening program for an extra treat!
INSTRUCTION
Each day includes two classes in your major. The first class begins just after breakfast and cabin cleanup. After a break, you move to your elective class just before lunch. After dinner, you will have one more session in your major class.
ACTIVITIES
Each afternoon, you will have over three hours of recreation and leisure time with plenty of organized activities. You can choose to get involved with group activities or use the time for your own individual interests. Each night after class, we offer an evening program for campers, counselors, and staff with singing, a night hike, and talent showcases where campers and staff perform on stage. Through songs, skits, and readings, groups and individuals have the opportunity to share and explore their interests in artistic expression outside of the class setting.
SUGGESTIONS TO HELP YOU ENJOY CAMP
The Sugarloaf Student Store will have a variety of snacks and drinks available for purchase during recreation time. The Student Store will also provide postcards, stamps, batteries and some sundries for purchase. The store supplies film for Photography students and will not supply film for other campers. Campers are not required to bring money to camp. If you would like to buy items from the Student Store during the week, you are encouraged to bring no more than $20.00 cash to camp. Items will cost $.50 to $1.00 per item and will be available only during recreation time.
A special themed silk-screen (ink to fabric) that is unique for each week will be offered to imprint on a shirt, sweatshirt, pillowcase, etc. for $1.00 per item (all money raised benefits camp scholarships!). This fun activity is a great way to commemorate your camp year. Each year the screens are different and special to your camp experience. Some Sugarloaf staff members have silk-screens dating back 20 or more years!

Please plan on bringing clothing to handle rain and potential cold weather. While July weather is most often hot, (above 100 degrees) many years have seen last-minute rain and we want all campers to be prepared. Make sure that you are aware of current weather conditions and adjust clothing appropriately 24 hours prior to camp.
