Yes, but it depends! Campers must be entering the same grade or within one grade apart. We ask that each family fill out the “Friend Request” area during registration. We will always do our best to accommodate friend requests, but can not guarantee campers will always be placed in groups with their friends.

If it rains in the middle of the day we will make a judgment call in real time and notify parents if pick up will be from FunFit HQ. If the weather becomes dangerous (according to NYS guidelines) we will close early or cancel camp for that day.
