Lost & Found
Jameson Camp does not accept responsiblity for lost or stolen property. Please communicate with your camper the importance of keeping irreplacable or valuable possessions at home. We recommend labeling everything your child brings to ensure lost items can be returned if they are found.
At times, lost items may be found and turned in to camp staff. A lost and found will be set up outside near the camper pickup line. We ask that campers and grownups thoroughly check the lost and found at pick up.
Each week after the last camper is picked up, lost and found items will be donated or discarded depending on their condition.
