What does Camp look like
Food
Serving healthy & well balanced meals that are kid friendly is our goal. The salad bar is always stocked with fresh fruits & vegetables. Our kitchen staff is ready to work with dietary needs & restrictions so kids (& parents) don’t have to worry about food & just have fun.
UMM is a peanut aware environment.

-
Private Bathrooms

Weather Concerns
Severe Weather
In case of severe weather each staff member is trained on the location of fire & tornado shelters. Campers, led by their leader, will go to the tornado shelter when a tornado watch or warning has been issued & will remain there until the watch or warning has been cancelled.
Hot Weather
Campers are required to wear sunscreen every day at camp and are instructed to re-apply every hour. In the case of extreme heat, staff monitor the water intake of campers to be sure they are hydrated.
Schedule adjustments are made to ensure campers are getting adequate shade & air conditioning during especially warm days.
Camper Release Policy
UMM must have a signed authorization for anyone other than the legal guardian/parent to pick up yout camper.
At the end of a camp program, all campers will be checked out to their parent or guardian with a photo ID.
