• When should I enroll my camper?
• As early as possible as space fills quickly at all locations.
• What does my child need to bring to camp each day?
• A labeled bathing suit, sunscreen, towel, water bottle, hat, backpack and the ability to have fun! We provide the rest.
• Can you tell me about KECamps?
• Established in 1999, KECamps provides exceptional weekly and daily children’s camps for country club members and their guests. Tens of thousands of children and their families have enjoyed our programs across the United States.
• What is your refund policy?
• All cancellations will be refunded (less the $30 registration fee) up until the day before the 1st week of your camp begins. After that date, there are no refunds for absence, withdrawal or dismissal from camp.
• How many weeks should I enroll my child for?
• KECamps prides itself in making sure that no two weeks are alike. Our special events, Wacky Wednesdays and activities within the core areas change from week to week. The average camper is with KECamps for 75% of the summer. Whether your child is with us the whole summer or just one week, it will be memorable and rewarding.
• What if my child has specific allergies?
• First, please make sure to indicate this information when you enroll online. Our staff is trained to deal with most allergies and the use of an Epi-Pen. We do not serve food with nuts and we ask that no child bring with him or her to camp any food containing nuts. We can tailor our Fun with Foods activities to eliminate anything your child may be allergic to. If you have any questions concerning this, please feel free to contact us before camp begins.
• What if my child does not know how to swim?
• All of our campers are given a swim test on Mondays. Children will be classified as a “Swimmer” or “Non-Swimmer.” If your child is a non-swimmer, you must send a vest with him or her to camp. Non-swimmers will be allowed only in the shallow end of the pool. The campers who are swimmers will have access to the whole pool. Please know that the pool will be lifeguarded by club lifeguards. Our staff, who are all CPR and First-Aid certified, will be with the children in the water.
• Do I need to send my child with golf and/or tennis equipment?
• If your child already owns a tennis racket and/or golf clubs, then yes, feel free to bring those items to camp. Just make sure they are labeled, along with all of your child’s other belongings! Your director will give you a schedule of activities every Monday so that you will know on which days golf and tennis will be taking place and can pack accordingly.
• Do I need to sign up for the complimentary before and after-care?
• No, you may simply drop off your child during before-care hours and pick him or her up during after-care hours. Please note the individual closing time of your camp. You should pick your child up no later than that time.
• What is before and after-care like?
• Although our staff will be there to interact with the campers and there will be games on hand, we encourage you to send your child with some books and/or games if he or she is planning to stay for before and after-care. These times are relaxed and do not have a set program like the regular camp day has from 9AM to 4PM.
• What is the deadline for registering for camp and do you allow drop-ins at camp?
• There is NO deadline to register for any of our summer camps. Please note however, that we cannot guarantee there will be space available as it gets closer to the summer. We do not allow drop-ins. In order to attend camp, you must sign up online in advance. We are happy to accept online registrations even up to the day before the week you would like to attend, provided that space is still available.
• Do I need to pack lunch?
• It depends on which camp your child will be attending. Please check your camp’s page on our website or refer to your camp’s Parent Manual for more information. At all our camps, however, we encourage you to pack some extra snacks for your child in his or her backpack. Please make sure you do not pack any food containing nuts—all our camps are “nut aware.”
• What forms do I need to fill out and when are they due?

• Every child must have a completed Enrollment Form and Health Form on file before he or she can attend camp. When you enroll online, you will be prompted to fill out these forms. Please follow the instructions to do so. It’s as easy as that!

  **For those campers attending camps in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Texas, please note that there is a 2 page supplement to the Health Form which must be completed by your physician. You can download those forms from your camp’s page on our website. You will also be prompted to print out these forms on the confirmation page of your online enrollment. Please print these pages, complete them, and return to our office via fax or email.

• Is camp open on Memorial Day and/or July 4th ?
• All camps are closed on Monday, May 28th and Wednesday, July 4th in observance of the holidays.
