Getting them ready for camp...

Planning is key!

There are lots of things to plan for when you're getting ready for camp as well as questions that you may have. Here are some of the most common things parents want to know:

Who's Going to Watch my Kids?

• Standardized Counselor to Camper Ratios are maintained at all of our camps; Primary through Middle School Campers are under the supervision of at least two counselors/staff at all times of the day, high school campers do have some freedom but are still under supervision.

• Ratios are:

  • Primary (grades K-2) – 2:10 (2 counselors for a group of 10 campers)

  • Elementary (grades 3-5) – 2:14

  • Middle School (grades 6-8) – 2:16

  • High School (grades 9-13) – 2:20

What Should I Pack?

• Sleeping Bag/Bedding, Pillow, Modest & Weather-Appropriate Clothing, Clothes for being outside at night (i.e. jeans and long-sleeve shirt), Rain Gear, Tennis Shoes, Flip Flops for Showers, Toiletries, Towels (shower and beach), one-piece Swimsuit, Sunscreen, Bug Repellant, Flashlight, Bible, Pen & Paper, Money for merchandise, snacks, etc.

What Things aren't Allowed at Camp?

• Do Not Bring: alcohol, tobacco, drugs, weapons of any kind, fireworks, explosives of any kind, or pets.

Can we Check in Late or Leave Early if it's Absolutely Necessary?

• There are no part-time registrations. The Spiritual Director must approve any instances of late arrival or early departure. We discourage late arrival and early departure for the benefit of the camper. The success of a camping experience is dependent upon full-time participation. In the event of an early departure or late arrival no fee refund/pro-rating will be provided. In the event of any late arrival or early departure, transportation is the financial and physical responsibility of the camper’s family.

Can I Request a Roommate for my Camper?

• We try our best to honor all roommate requests; however, we cannot guarantee requests. The volunteer leadership team makes cabin assignments for Primary, Elementary, and Middle School camps. When a camper wishes to room with another camper(s), all campers must list each other as a roommate request on the registration form. Requests grouping more than 3 campers will not be carried out fully and a judgment call by the volunteer leader will decide who to pair together.
