How will COVID-19 impact Summer Camp 2023?
-COVID-19, and it’s variants, have continued to disrupt our daily lives into 2022. Last summer we were able to provide a very safe, albeit different, experience for all of our campers with no known infections throughout the summer. We were able to do this by following the guidance set by the CDC and ACA and with the cooperation of all our campers and their families. This summer we will continue to follow the guidance of the CDC and ACA. They have not yet released their suggestions for Summer Camps, but as soon as they do we will pass the information and our plan on to you.
What should my camper bring to camp?
-Our camper packing list is a great resource when packing! We have found that when you and your camper pack together it increases their responsibility for their own belongings and helps them know exactly what they have at camp. It also prevents campers from bringing inappropriate or prohibited items to camp.
What will my camper be doing all day?
-A typical day at camp begins around 7:30 AM. Campers and staff will eat breakfast together and then join their groups for the morning activities. Lunch is around 12. After lunch they will have rest hour and swim time followed by dinner and an all camp activity. Detailed schedule varies based on specialty session chosen.
Can my camper have their cell phone?
-No. To support our staff member’s efforts to build a camp community, we request parents and campers to leave cell phones and other electronic devices at home. If seen, camp staff collect them, turn them off, secure them in the camp office, and return the items to parents at check out. See the full explanation here.
How will I communicate with my camper throughout the week?
-Campers can receive mail and emails throughout the week. In case of emergency, parents and guardians are provided with appropriate phone numbers and contact information. See our parent info sheet for more details.
What are Kapers?
-Camp Waluhili emphasizes community responsibility to all campers and staff. Kapers, or chores, are done as a group to keep the cabin and community spaces clean.
