We are a Summer Day Camp! The day revolves around activities scheduled
(9 am to 3 pm), and children may not be readily available to leave in
the middle of the day as they may be on a different part of the camp
property. It is also more difficult to get a child to their group after
9 am. They are to bring their own lunch; we ask that you do not send
microwavable foods as we have 70+ people and only one microwave. There
are no "rooms" - your child's place is with his or her counselor participating
in numerous different activities all week. We find that our youngest campers who have finished 5K have a better camp experience!
We really
are an outdoor camp.
This means that campers will experience God's creation in a real way
- direct contact. Yes, the more unpleasant side of nature (yucky bugs,
ticks, poison ivy) as well as the pleasant side (deer, turtles, mud
puddles, etc.) exist in the woods as it does anywhere in the country.
The counselors are trained to avoid the unpleasant things and take appropriate
steps to protect the camper. We spray our property for ticks; however,
it is impossible to spray all 17 acres. We check campers for ticks after
every event in the woods, and encourage a good bath or shower every
evening. We encourage you to spray your children every morning or to
send bug spray or lotion with them.
We enforce
our general camp rules.
Our first concern is the safety of your child(ren). Most often, we find
kids barefoot. this may work in the backyard, but with thorns, rocks,
and other man-made objects around, it is not safe. We ask that children
wear closed-toe shoes (tennis or athletic shoes work well) all day,
and that they have a pair of water shoes (anything closed-toe that can
get wet and muddy), as well as a change of clothes every day. It is
very disappointing to the campers not to go creek walking because they
do not have the right clothes with them.
We do
not have a drop-in rate.
The fullness and variety and enjoyment of our program is dependent on
the children being here five days a week. Even if the child is here
less than a week, the week's fee will be charged. We do everything that
we advertise in the course of a week, weather permitting. We don't want
your children to miss part of the fun of what is planned for them. |
