First Day of Camp: Sunday, June 15, 2025

​

Location: Diamond Arrow, 15742 N Bloomfield Rd, Nevada City, CA 95959- cell service is minimal. We suggested your print out the attached directions or write them down, while easy to find maps isnt always reliable with the cell towers!

• Registration opens at 9:30 AM. Please arrive between 9:30 and noon to get checked, meet the health director, receive your cabin assignment and lanyard, and settle in.

• Grades 8–12 choir and all orchestra campers may have short musical interviews during check-in or first rehearsal.

• Counselors will be ready with icebreaker games and your camp t-shirt. It’s a great chance to connect with new and returning campers.

• Bring a picnic lunch for your family or a bag lunch and a snack for your camper. The first official camp meal will be dinner.

• Parents, please plan to leave no later than 12:30 PM so campers can jump into their first rehearsals, orientation, and the all-camp photo.

Important reminder: pets are not allowed on-site. Diamond Arrow does not permit animals for any reason.

​

Additional Camp Reminders

• No cash needed. Tuition includes all activities and snacks

• Sweatshirts are available at registration for $40, while supplies last. If you pre-ordered, yours will be ready for pickup at registration. 

• All medications (including vitamins) must be turned in at registration in a labeled Ziplock with clear instructions.

• EVERY CAMPER will meet with our Health Director, Dwight, and assistant Melissa. Please, if your camper has had a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea within the past 48 hours, please wait until they are fully recovered before coming to camp — it's always better to arrive a little late than risk spreading illness to others. We're in close quarters all week, so let's look out for one another and keep our camp community healthy and safe.

• TALENT NIGHT: Due to no cell phones at camp, if you have an audio file needed for a talent night act, please email the name/file to us asap so we can make sure our DJ/Sound Master Mike has everything he needs for you!

• You may drop off letters and care packages at registration or mail them. Please do not send items with peanuts, we are a nut-free camp!
