If there have been any changes in your child’s medication since you completed their medical forms, please inform us upon your arrival to camp.

Telephone Calls
Camp staff will not take messages for campers, unless it is an emergency. In case of serious discipline problems, parents or guardians will be notified to pick up their child. The camp phone number is (864) 546-1567
Transportation
Camp Luv-A-Lung DOES NOT provide transportation. It is the Parent’s/Guardian’s responsibility to provide transportation to and from camp. If someone other than a parent/guardian will be picking up your child, please leave their name upon check-in. They will be required to show a photo I.D. in order to leave with your child. This is for the safety and security of your child.
