Curious about our Day Camp? We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand what to expect and how to prepare for an amazing adventure. Dive in to find answers about activities, schedules, volunteer opportunities, and more.
Day Camp offers a full day of fun activities without any overnight stays. Our camp directors are certified through the National Camping School, ensuring a top-notch experience.
Day Camp is open to all youth entering 2nd to 5th grade in the fall. For those entering Kindergarten or 1st grade, we have a special separate day camp event tailored just for them.
Campers should bring essentials such as a water bottle, hat, and clothing for various weather conditions and play. Please see the packing list for more details.
Parents and Volunteers: We highly recommend that each camper have an accompanying adult (parent, guardian, grandparent, sibling over 18, etc.) volunteer for at least one day as a Staff Member or two days as a Day Walker. Day Camp is powered by volunteers, and we depend on parents and leaders to ensure we have enough staff for smooth operations and to maintain our 2-deep leadership standard.
Excited about what Day Camp has to offer? Whether you’re looking forward to STEM activities, games, or simply making new friends, we’re here to help you take the next step. Don’t miss out on the fun—reach out to us with any questions, and let’s get your scout ready for an unforgettable experience!
