Common Questions for Summer Camp

What is the weather like? Our temperature during the summer can get hot during the day. But may get cool at night. We suggest mainly shorts and t-shirts but you will also want to throw in a pair of jeans, a sweatshirt and rain gear.

What if my child has a food allergy or a special diet request? Food allergies are a top concern for our Kitchen Supervisor. We will do everything possible to keep your child safe. We will do our best to accomodate special food requests also, but we may require you to provide alternative meals for your child. If you have a food allergy or request (other than basic vegetarian) please contact us at least 2 weeks prior to your camper arriving.

Does my child need a physical? Yes, all kids who attend camp have to have a physical by a doctor within 24 months of their arrival to camp. If they arrive without a legitimate physical, your camper will be sent home. Please make sure you have this completed!

What if I have medicine to turn in? All medicine must be in the original packages. You will bring any medicine you will want your camper to take in a large ziplock bag labeled with the campers name.

How do I help my child prevent homesickness? Homesickness is a natural feeling when going away from home for the first time and sometimes can be felt by returners on the first day. There are many ways homesickness can be minimized though, to learn more, click here!
