Frequently Asked Questions

*What does camp cost?

Camp is $125 and includes a camp t-shirt, snacks, and all camp activities.

*Will I need any extra money?

No. The $125 covers everything you will need during the week. You are encouraged to leave extra money at home so that it does not get lost or stolen.

*How old do I have to be to come to camp?

You have to be age 6-12 to register for camp. You should be able to give yourself a shower.

*Why should I register early?

The main reason to register early is because you will get to choose your Excel activity. The Excel activities can only hold 12 children per class due to the complex nature of some of them. It also helps us know how to plan if you register early. It will also speed up your registration process on Sunday afternoon when camp starts.

*What is Excel?

Excel refers to the 3:30-5:00 PM timeslot of camp. During this time, children third grade and up get to select their activity from the following: Archery, Newspaper, Pine Box Derby, Puppets, Rocket Building, and Woodworking. Children younger than third grade will enjoy activities planned just for them.
