I want to be prepared.
We cannot wait to welcome our campers to ALC! We ask that you carefully read the parent handbook and save it for future reference so that you and your camper(s) feel ready and excited for the upcoming summer adventure.
CampInTouch is your online parent portal that has everything you will need to get ready for camp. Here you will be able to update your contact info, manage payments, find the Parent Handbook and other important documents, and access all your camp forms. If you have any trouble logging in, give the ALC office a call (207-785-2400) and we will be happy to help.
