Policies
Visiting Camp: You may visit Camp any day except June 27, July 22, August 11 or August 12, 2011. Please don’t come to visit during lunch (12 noon – 1 pm). Visitors must come to the Camp Office to sign in and get an visitor’s badge. They must know the security password for the child they are visiting.
Signing Out Campers: No one may ever take a camper out of camp without signing that child out at the Camp Office. Any adult picking up a camper must know the security password that was given to us at the time of the child’s registration. Password changes can only be made in writing.
Medical Forms: The New Jersey State Youth Camp Safety Act and the American Camp Association require every camper to have a medical form signed by a physician. Medical forms are due to camp by June 1. Your child does not need a doctor’s exam just for this purpose. The doctor can fill out our form based on any physical any time after June 1, 2010. A parent’s signature is also required on the medical form; we must have your written permission to treat your child if he or she is sick or injured at Camp.
Tipping: Tipping counselors is permitted but not required. Some families give their children’s group and bus counselors letters to thank them for their work over the summer.
Camper Absences: There are no refunds if a camper misses time from Camp due to illness or injury.
Birthdays during Camp: Since many campers have all types of food allergies, we do not allow any food from home to be given to other campers. For birthdays we suggest you send in some simple (non-edible) favors for the group.
Deposits and Refunds: A $500 deposit is required for each camper at the time of registration. A second deposit of $1000 is due on March 1. Final balance is due on May 1. At the time of registration, $200 becomes non-refundable. After March 1, all deposits are non-refundable. In case of drop-outs after May 1 or reductions in weeks during the camp season, all tuition payments are non-refundable. We will gladly arrange a personalized payment plan with you if you are paying by credit card; all payments need to be made by the first day of the month the camper attends camp.
