Camp Store
Campers entering Grades 2 and up will visit the Camp Store. Here, they can indulge in purchasing camp merchandise, snacks, and refreshing beverages. The Camp Store is cashless- campers purchase items using their Camp Store funds allocated through their CampBrain account.
We also have an online Camp Store for camp merch- you can order in advance, and we'll deliver while your camper is in camp, or you can pick up at the camp office. This is a great option for your Lower Camp or Exploration camper!
Dressing for the Weather
The Camp Health Office is staffed with nurses and health assistants. You can reach them through our Camp Office at 978-774-1427 or campnurse@stjohnsprep.org with any questions you have. A few reminders:
- Campers' medications should not go in backpacks, but should be dropped off at camp at the Medical Drop Off Table at the Family Drop Off location on Monday mornings starting at 8:45 am.
- Medications for campers who ride the bus need to be signed in with the Summer at St. John's Counselors riding the bus on Monday morning.
- Please see our Family Handbook for details on medications and when you should keep your camper home from camp.
- Please make sure that your camper's medical forms are all up to date and uploaded in our parent portal.
