Who fly to camp will be picked up and returned to the airport in Milwaukee. Please talk with the Camp Director about best arrival and departure times before making airline reservations. Do send the camper's flight itinerary to karen@kodamidwest.org. Someone will pick up and drop off campers.
The camp does not provide transportation from your hometown; however, the camp may help parents arrange car pools, if requested.
Laundry facilities are available at the camp, only in case of emergency. Be sure to pack enough clothes for the length of the session. Parents should discuss with children how to take care of their clothes.
Mail is given out before dinner each day. Write your camper often, but do not mail letters after MONDAY of the last week he/she is leaving. Campers are encouraged to write home often.
Traditional clothing and attire is appropriate at camp. Please do not pack nice clothes, except for one outfit. Also, pack one set of dark clothes for one game.
The camp is a place where children can be free to have a good time in an un-regimented atmosphere and enjoy many activities with others. We do not expect any discipline problems; however, if a camper’s behavior creates a situation which is detrimental to the other campers, the staff, or the camp program or property, the parents will be notified to pick that camper up immediately. No offensive language or behavior, no pranks, no bullying or intimidation of others, no smoking or tobacco use, no weapons, no cell phones or electronic devices, no alcohol, no drugs or inappropriate reading materials are allowed at KODA Camp. (Discuss this with your camper.)
Please do not send OR BRING the following items to camp as they cause distractions: pagers, walkie-talkies, radios, electronics, iPods or MP3 players, boom boxes, game-boys, knives, weapons, lighters, fireworks and any other items in this category. Any child that brings juuls, tobacco or alcohol will be sent home without a refund. For safety/security and camp programming requirements, any item that is deemed questionable or not allowed at camp will be taken up by camp administration (and we cannot be responsible for their safekeeping, storage and return to you).
Please give the cellphone to the counselor when registering. They will be returned to the children on the last day of the week.
To get to the camp, you must be on County CS, NOT the King Road that GPS might tell you. CS runs between Hwy 51 and Hwy 22 north of Hwy 60. Sometimes GPS DOES NOT work.
