Everything You Need to Know
Let the Fun Times Roll
At Camp Marannook, we are dedicated to making sure our campers have the safest, funnest, most exciting camp experience! To this end, we want to make sure that all parents feel comfortable sending their children to our camp. Here, we have assembled a number of questions commonly asked by camper’s parents. Feel free to look through our guide and send us a message if you need to ask another!
Before You Come
Which camp should my child attend? And what grade will they be considered to be in this summer?
Our camps are broken up by age. Check out our Summer Camp page to see which session is right for your camper.
During the summer, campers are considered to be in the grade they are advancing to in the fall. So if a child has just finished 3rd grade, we’ll consider them a 4th grader at summer camp!

This is going to vary a little bit based on when you come. Check out our Dates & Rates for the particulars!
