LABEL...LABEL...LABEL...EVERYTHING!

Things have a tendency to get left at the lake or in the bathrooms during changing time.  It is much easier to locate the owner with everything either labeled or tagged with your camper's name.  Any clothes left at Camp and unclaimed by September will be given to a worthy charity. Pine Ridge is not responsible for lost or stolen articles.

THINGS TO LEAVE AT HOME

Gameboys, i-pods, cell phones, mp3 players, radios, and gum.
