Parents who drive their daughters to Red Pine should plan to arrive at camp between 9 am and 12 pm on Opening Day. Please park in the fields by the tennis courts. There you will be greeted by a member of the staff and taken to the office for check-in and to meet Executive Director, Connie Scholfield. All girls must then check-in with the nurses in the Infirmary. Parents and siblings are invited to join all campers for a buffet style lunch at the Lodge. Your daughter’s luggage will be taken to her assigned cabin and her bunk will be made by one of her counselors while you enjoy lunch together. We do ask that after lunch, you say cheerful good-byes and leave by 2 pm. The girls will be involved in activities that afternoon.
