Camp Check-in/out Day

SUNDAY CHECK-IN
Residential campers check-in will be on Sundays with a schedule to allow for staggered arrival of campers by age group:

• Senior Line campers (grades 9th and up) will check in between 2pm-3pm
• Upper Mid Line campers (grades 6th through 8th) will check in between 3pm-4pm
• Lower Mid Line campers (grades 1st through 5th) will check in between 4pm-5pm

Please do not arrive prior to your check-in time, as our staff is preparing for your arrival up to the time of 2pm. If you arrive in South Hero early you can always stop at Seb’s snack shop or Allenholm Farms for a creemee or other tasty treats! Families who are unable to arrive during their camper’s designated check-in time must contact Camp Hochelaga prior to check-in day to make alternate arrival plans. If families are checking in multiple campers in different age groups, they should arrive during the earliest designated check-in time.

Check-in for 2023 will be slightly different from our recent summers. A staff member will be at the corner of Hochelaga Road and Larrow Lane to meet you. Please do not drive into camp without checking in with the greeter first and please do not block the gate entrance. Upon arriving at Camp Hochelaga, families will remain in their vehicles and to follow signs along the drive to the check-in stations including medical check-in, head lice check, and paperwork confirmation. After completing this portion of the check-in process ALL FAMILIES will be directed to Senior Field where they can park while they help move their camper’s items to their cabin. Members of the Camp Hochelaga staff will be there every step of the way to support the check-in process, answer questions, and provide support when saying goodbye. Please prepare your camper in advance for this process and remember we are happy to provide a facility tour for you and your family before our camp season begins.
