Camp FAQs

Is 6th-grade camp mandatory? 

6th-grade camp is optional. However, it is our belief that the 6th-grade camp offers a great opportunity for students to develop new skills, gain new knowledge and independence, and build upon their classroom experiences in a unique and challenging environment.


How was the cost of the camp program determined? 

Your child’s camp fee covers their room & board at Camp Michindoh, plus transportation (buses & box truck) and the chaperone costs (HS Students & HPI staff).


What activities are planned for the students during their stay at Camp Michindoh? 

A wide variety of classes and activities are planned to accomplish the educational and recreational goals set for our students. This will include inside and outdoor activities.


How are PHS students selected to be cabin leaders? 

PHS students go through a rigorous selection process to be selected for cabin leaders. This includes meeting certain expectations and gathering letters of recommendation.


Why do we not use parent volunteers for cabin leaders? 

Younger students look up to our HS students. Additionally, camp gives our HS students an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and give back to their community. 


Is Camp Michindoh a Christian-based camp? 

Yes. Their organization is comparable to the YMCA. When hosting schools, there are no religious components in their programming. However, students are asked to give a blessing or have a moment of silence at each meal.

Yes. However, families will need to complete the medication form for Camp Michindoh.

Are students permitted to wear open-toe shoes like flip-flops and crocs?

How are students placed in cabins and cabin groups?
Teachers survey the students and then take that information to create the cabin groups. Additionally, students are assigned cabins based on their birth sex/gender. 

When will students find out who is in their cabin?
Students are informed of their cabin mates when they arrive at Camp Michindoh. 

Do parents and guardians receive updates about camp?
We send out an email when students arrive and depart from camp. Additionally, teams will post pictures in a designated Schoology folder. 

Can students bring sunscreen and bug repellent?
We recommend students bring their own sunscreen and bug repellent with them to camp.

Are students able to take a personal water bottle?
