Parent Info

2024 Parent Planner Info Booklet coming soon!

New! We are using a new app (Bunk1) to help parents view camper photos during their session and also send messages or "bunk notes." Information on how to set up your app access is available in your CampInTouch account Forms & Documents section close to the start of the summer season. We'll also hand out a flyer on how to set up Bunk1 access at camper check-in. Some features on the app will still be under construction but will be ready by the time camp rolls around!

Join us at New Camper Orientation!

Come out to Camp Kern for a day of family fun! Tours of camp, refreshments and summer camp food samples, and the entire camp to yourself are yours to enjoy. Bring the whole family for this free Sunday afternoon at camp. Summer Camp counselors will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, and to lead tours. No reservations required, just show up on the day! Formerly "open houses," these events have been redesigned and are now orientations geared toward registered first-time campers.
