Bunking Policy
- At Windham-Tolland 4-H Camp we believe
your child will have the best camping experience bunking with
7 new friends. For this reason, we strongly prefer them to
bunk with new friends. However, if you feel it necessary for
him or her to bunk with a friend of
the same age, please list
only one
friend's name and age. Both friends
must request each other. Priority given to those who request
early.
