FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes.

Most camps are ages 5 – 12; some are 5 – 17; but check with your camp to see the required age groups.

(Some Sleepaway camps, for example, are 7 – 17)

We start by hiring highly qualified, carefully selected staff members that have experience of working with children. And with 30 years of running camps, we know how to encourage and guide campers when issues arise.

Most of our camps import the field trips to them. Horses, Fire Engines, Foam Parties, laser Tag, Petting Zoos, etc all take a field trip to the host site. But check with your individual camp to find their policy.

While every camp will vary, typically a parent will drop off their camper between 8 am and 9 am. During that time, campers have a choice of activities to keep them busy until all campers are present. Between 9 am and 11 am, Campers usually rotate between the host facility attractions and outside activities that are imported into the camp. At 11 am we typically have lunch.

After lunch we rotate again between host site attractions, STEAM curriculum, and activities tied to the Theme for that week. At 2:45 children return to the room and prepare their backpacks and such for 3 pm pickup. From 3 pm to 5:30 pm the campers staying for extended care have a variety of activities to keep them busy until Parents arrive.

Camps create leaders, thinkers, communicators, problem-solvers, and potential. They build safe and nurturing communities for children and fill them with competent and caring role models. They open doors for children to grow, learn, and discover more about the world and how they fit in it. They also open children’s eyes to new experiences, new places, new people, and new perspectives.

The American Camp Association reported that 74% of youth campers tried new things they were previously afraid of doing. And 70% of parents thought their children were more self-confident after attending a camp.

Camps teach children to value themselves, others, and their environments. They also foster team building, communication, and critical thinking skills. From cleaning their hands to  cleaning the oceans, the scope of a summer camp reaches far beyond the here and now. Camps create strong, well-rounded, and socially capable citizens for the next generation.

Since 1993 – 30 years and counting.

How active we are, with tons of activities, experienced Teachers and Counselors, safety first, affordability, and how fun they are!

We know things happen. And we do our best to be fair to you. Often with notice we will provide a full refund, and without reasonable notice we will offer credit for a future camp. Please understand, however, that securing a spot in our camps is like a hotel room or airline seat.

Without reasonable notice we may not be able to replace your spot with another camper. Check with your specific camp to see what their cancellation policy is.

Of course your child will beg you to bring them. And some parents feel like they want their child to have a phone to communicate with them. We cannot ban electronics for this reason, but the child is 100% responsible for them and we encourage Parents not to let a child bring electronics.

Our camps are active and one of the things we are trying to accomplish is to un-plug from technology (unless it’s a Technology Camp). You can always talk directly to the Director of the Camp if you want to check in or talk to your child.

Yes. But call the Director of the Camp to arrange this. Based on their confidence and age separation we will place them where they will have the best experience.
