About The Camp:

Meals and Cleanup: Whispering pines will charge by the plate so re-use your plates and don’t hesitate to go back for seconds if there is food left. We are responsible to help set up and cleanup before and after meals. Please stick around to help our hosts out.

Please be Careful: The snow, sleds, hills and trees can make for a lot of fun, but they can also lead to injuries if we aren’t very careful. (Unfortunately, we have had injuries in the past). All Dads need to carefully supervise the activities and ensure everyone is being as safe as possible.
