Weekend of August 30th – Sept 1st 2019

A: We will have an East Valley Van and a West Valley Van this year. Both will be departing at 2:00pm on Friday. The East Valley van is departing from the Lee’s Chandler campus on Alma School & Galveston in the Waterfall Plaza:

610 N. Alma School Rd. #32
Chandler, AZ 85224

The West Valley van is departing from the Lee’s West Phoenix campus on Thomas & 35th Avenue in the Carlton Business Park:

Please arrive at least 20 minutes before departure (1:40pm)

A: Our region is required to pre-pay the campgrounds for all of our prospective campers ahead of time. Because of this, camp deposits are not refundable at any time. Within the 1-month time frame before camp (after August 1st) there will be no refunds available for any other money you may have paid toward your balance. This money is; however, transferable to another student, or can be put toward our next camp in 2020. If for some reason you are unable to make it to camp, you need to call the Lee’s main office (480) 831-1111 and let us know directly so that we are not worried when you do not show up.

A: 9 years old, or at the parent & instructor’s agreed upon discretion.

A: Yes! Families that kick together, stick together! The campgrounds have both cabins and dorms, so for families that would like to ‘bunk’ together, this can be arranged; however, it is first come first served. In the case that we run out of cabins, we would then house you by age/gender (girls with girls, boys with boys, adults with adults etc). There is a section on the registration form that you can leave your request on for us to see when it comes time to make cabin arrangements. This is done within the week of camp.

A: A little bit of everything. Click HERE for a suggested packing list.

A: Camp Shadow Pines’ kitchen offers gluten-free and vegetarian options at every meal, and you are welcome to bring any food/snacks you’d like to keep on hand. We usually receive the menu from the cooks within the week of camp and will email it out to you.

A: There will be medical staff available in case of emergencies or for medication supervision. Our medic (Dr. Rodriguez) will have a list of all medications needing to be administered to campers, reactions, disabilities or restrictions, as well as any other notes you have left us on your registration form. He does also have access to a refrigerator for any medication that needs to be kept cold.

A: When all campers arrive, we will have grouped them into squads. Each squad has a squad leader. There are also instructors teaching each class/session and Camp Shadow Pines staff on-site as well overseeing operations. Each dorm also has an assigned leader that does dorm checks.

A: Dorms are heated buildings with rooms that have 2 bunk beds per room. There are typically 3 to 8 people in a room. All men will be in one building and all women will be in another attached building. There are private stall showers in the heated building and ample hot water. Families with small children will be placed in a separate “family” cabin with parents and their children. We encourage older children to share the boys or girls dorm with their same age friends to feel more independent. Dorms are assigned within the week of camp, so if you have a preference for bunkmates, please list it on your registration.

A: You will actually pick your classes when you arrive at camp. We will email out an agenda within the week of camp (typically is sent on Monday or Tuesday that week) to the email address provided in your registration. This way you can make somewhat of an outline for packing purposes. Most children, though, will want to take whatever classes their friends are taking when they get there and end up changing their minds frequently over the course of the weekend, so there is no need to notify us of your class choices.
