Can I visit the camp before it starts?
Absolutely, we’d be delighted to show you around. You can request a tour by filling out our visit form, and we kindly ask that you schedule your visit at least 24 hours in advance so we can prepare to welcome you properly.

camp hours?
Camp runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Carline starts at 8:45 AM.
Can I pick up my child before or after 4:00 PM?
You’re welcome to pick up your child any time before 4:00 PM. If pickup happens after 4:15 PM, a late fee of $1 per minute will apply. This helps us ensure smooth transitions and proper supervision.
Do you offer extended care? What does it cost?
Yes, we offer extended care from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM for families who need a little extra flexibility. The weekly cost for extended hours is $60.

We do offer transportation, but only in areas where we have at least four sign-ups. If you're interested, please request a quote. Additional charges apply, and we’ll confirm availability based on your location.
What should my child bring to camp?
Campers should arrive wearing their camp T-shirt and bring two labeled gallon-sized ziplock bags:
Bag 1 – Clothing

Camp T-shirt
-
Shorts
-
Underwear
-
Socks
-
Water shoes
-
Rain boots and coat (if needed)

Towel (for water days)
On water days, campers may arrive in swimsuits with their camp T-shirt and shorts over them. Please label everything with your child’s name.
What comes in the welcome kit?
Each camper receives a welcome kit that includes:
-
A cotton camp T-shirt
-
A backpack
-
A water bottle
-
A reusable cooling towel
​
Please note: Welcome Kits are available only for Summer Camp sessions.
​
Welcome kits are distributed either before camp begins or on the first Monday of the session. We’re unable to provide kits outside of these designated times.
Do you offer daily drop-in options?
How often do field trips happen, and are there extra costs?
Summer campers enjoy one exciting field trip each week. To keep the experience fresh and fun, we reveal the destination the day before the trip.
​
There is no extra charge for the field trip itself, it’s included in your camp tuition. However, campers are required to bring spending money for refreshments or small purchases during the outing. Campers are responsible for managing their own money, and we encourage families to prepare their child accordingly.
​
We’ll send an email at least one day before the trip with reminders about attire and anything else your child may need to bring. Our goal is to make sure every camper is ready for a safe and memorable adventure.
Yes, we offer daily drop-in options for Spring and Winter camps. Summer camp, however, requires full-week registration.
Are your staff members trained?
My child is new to camp. Will they be safe, and will I get updates?
Yes, every staff member is CPR-certified and receives extensive training before camp begins. We take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment for every child.
We understand how important it is to feel confident when your child is in our care. Safety, joy, and growth are our top priorities.
​
Here’s our communication promise:
-
We notify parents when we leave and return from field trips
-
We contact you directly if there’s a concern about your child
-
We do not send live updates during the day so our staff can stay fully focused on the campers
All counselors are trained in age-appropriate group management and CPR. If anything arises that needs your attention, we’ll reach out right away.
​
We encourage questions and welcome your involvement. At the same time, we ask for your trust as we help your child build independence and confidence. If they come home smiling and excited to return, that’s the best sign we’re doing things right.
Are meals and snacks provided?
Campers may bring lunch and two snacks from home. We also offer a catered lunch option from a trusted local restaurant, which includes two snacks. Lunch can be purchased either during registration or weekly through our camp store. If you're purchasing weekly, our fixed menu is posted every Friday for the upcoming week—orders can be placed directly through the store.
​
All catered lunches are nut-free. If your child has other allergies, please let us know in advance. While we cannot offer menu substitutions, we’ll review the ingredients and let you know if accommodations are possible—or if sending lunch from home would be safer.
​
For snacks, you may purchase a weekly snack plan or send $1 to $3 with your child to buy snacks at camp.
​
My kid has nut-allergy, are your meals nut-free?
​
We are nut-free Camp and we do not allow any nut, nut by-products, or candy in the Camp.
