FAQs

What does my child need to bring to camp?

Each camper should bring the following:

a healthy snack (packed in something the birds/squirrels can't get into)
lunch if staying full day
come wearing sunscreen
weather appropriate clothing
athletic shoes
water bottle (clearly labeled with camper's name)
mask

How are campers divided into groups?

Groups are created by age: 4/5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12/13. Groups may be changed based on enrollment. For example, if there is a high number of 13-year olds, they may break off into their own group. If you have campers within these age categories that wish to be in the same group, please indicate on your application and be sure you register together. If you child is on the cusp of an age range, the Director and staff will help determine the most beneficial/safe group for your child.

Can my child and their friend be in the same group?

If they are in the same age group as indicated above then, yes. That does not mean they will always be on the same team. Staff members are instructed to not stack teams in an effort to create equitable play.

Can my child choose the activities they want to participate in?

No. We pride ourselves on not being a single sport camp. We believe in providing kids with a variety of activities. Campers will stay and rotate with their group every 30 minutes according to a schedule, which changes daily. If a game/activity is popular it will fall into the schedule often. If your child is not particularly fond of an activity it is very likely the next one will be one of their favorites.

Are the camp lunches free?

Yes, they are free to those staying a full day. If you child is not enrolled for a full day and would like to stay on a camp lunch day then you can pay $20 to stay for the afternoon. Camp lunches are offered every Friday and the menu will be posted on the board at check-in on Monday.

Are you peanut free?

All food/drink provided by the camp is peanut free. We speak with the families who have peanut issues about the severity and then create a plan (i.e. peanut free table, hand washing, peanut free camp, etc.).

What do you do on really, really hot days?

We find many ways to beat the heat. We provide cool water to drink, spray bottles, water play activities, cold watermelon breaks, and rotate groups from outside play to inside air conditioned game rooms. Most of the summer is fairly mild but we are always prepared for those hot, hot days!

Will my child be tired?

Yes they will and you're welcome!

Can I add or change weeks?

You may add weeks at anytime, if there is room in your child's age group. We can also accommodate small changes to weeks (i.e. changing Week 2 to Week 4).

We will do our best to work with very minor changes to your schedule once camp begins. Please understand once groups and weeks are filled we may not be able to make adjustments.

Is there early drop off or aftercare?

Unfortunately not this year.

Can unused days be applied to next summer?

No they can't. However, unused days can be transferred to another family member or another attending camper you may know.
