While we do everything we can to support and encourage our youngest campers, some children may not yet be ready for the structure and safety expectations of a group setting. In rare cases, if a child is unable to participate safely or appropriately after supportive interventions, Summer at St. Margaret’s may determine that unenrollment is necessary to ensure the well-being of the child and the larger camp community.
