Opening Day occurs on Sundays. Senior campers arrive at 11am, and all other campers arrive in waves between 2–3pm. Parents remain in their cars while leadership greets campers, collects medications, letters, and birthday packages, and escorts campers to their cabins. Cabin assignments are provided unless accounts are incomplete. Campers should bring a water bottle, and sunscreen in a lightweight backpack on drop off.

Gates open at 9:15am with a Closing Ceremony at 10am. Luggage is laid out by cabin before the ceremony. Afterward, parents pick up campers, speak with counselors, collect remaining luggage, and depart by 11am. The camp store will be open.

Campers love to use their trunk as chairs or tables in their cabin. Campers typically use a trunk or footlocker no taller than 13.5 inches to fit under the bunk, along with a duffel bag. Recommended models include the Companion Footlocker (#1102) and Happy Camper (#1104) from EverythingSummerCamp.com, where Camp Champions families can receive a discount. They can also be purchased at Academy or other online retailers.
