What's New
This month we're introducing some updates to our website.
As a prospective parent still deciding, or you've already registered and want to know more. We're here to help!!
Today we're introducing "Welcome to Camp," a new home to help you learn more about Camp Abby.
Tour Video
The pandemic prevented us from having an open house this year; therefore, some of you may not have been to our camp and been able to go on a tour with one of our staff. Our tour video will introduce you to our Directors, and then they will take you on a short virtual tour of the camp property.
Packing List
If you've never sent your child to camp, or it's been a few years. You might not be sure what to pack? That's why we have a packing list available for you to view and download.
It's important to note our packing list has been updated due to COVID-19.
Glossary (New)
At Camp Abby, like many camps, we have our lingo and different names for places around camp. That's why we've created a glossary of words and phrases your child will hear when they come to camp.
Schedule (New)
We've added a sample of our daily schedule at camp to help give you a better sense of day-to-day activities.
What's Changing
Our current information page will remain home to registration information, including dates, pick-up/drop-off times, rates, and any other information you may need to know. As always, if you have any questions, please contact us.
Video of the Month
This month to go along with our introduction of “Welcome to Camp.” We wanted to share a Morning Watch video from last summer’s virtual camp.
