We have a minimum of two adult male spots.
We have one teen leader for every 12 campers that sign up. Typically, we can take 2-3 teen females and 1-2 teen males.
Remaining spots are based on our spots, bed space, and teen leaders. We have assumed we will have about 22 female campers and 15 male campers.
