Summer Experience Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren’t mobile phones allowed at DAY camps?

We have phones at each of our camps. If there is an emergency and you need to communicate with your child, please call or text us and we will connect you. We do not allow mobile phones at camp to give kids a time to explore the real world around them, build relationships with others, practice patience, and use valuable leadership skills. Mobile phones and other electronics are a big distraction for everyone and disrupt daily camp life.

How will camp staff communicate with families during the summer?

We will send out email inviting parents to join ClassDOJO a closed and secure platform for education, post on Facebook and instagram. In the case of residential camps, parents will be invited to join a WhatsApp group.

Are your staff trained and background checked?

Yes! We do several hours of training with both new and returning staff each summer. All of our staff are background checked each year, nearly all the staff at camp are teachers from the school.

What shoes should my child wear to camp?

Please send your child in close-toed athletic shoes or sandals that have an ankle strap that can get wet or dirty. No crocs or flip flops except when using the swimming pool.

What should my child bring to camp?

Please dress for the weather and wear clothes that can get dirty! Everyone should have sunscreen and water each day, we will provide limitless supplies of water and a reusable water bottle, no child is to bring glass to the school.

Can my child attend half days or partial weeks?

We do not pro-rate days or weeks. Registration is based on the full week regardless of how many hours your child attends.

Do you have a special diet for children with allergies and intolerances?

Yes, our menus are designed to take into consideration all of out campers that may have an allergy. On the signup/inscription form its important to list ALL allergies please.
