Camp Departure Policy

At River Pointe Camp, we want to ensure a smooth and organized departure process for all campers and staff. Departures will take place promptly at **9:30 AM** on the final day of camp. To facilitate an orderly exit, we require all dorms to be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before campers and groups are allowed to leave. All check-outs will be conducted with the **Head Counselors**, who will oversee the process to ensure all cleaning and departure protocols are followed.
