Please note that if you are not a member of Saratoga Golf & Polo Club, you must be officially sponsored by a member of the club in order to enroll your child in camp. You will need to have your sponsor family’s name and club number on hand at the time of online enrollment. In addition, that member of the club must write a letter on your behalf stating that they will act as your sponsor for camp. Once you enroll your child, you are required to send in this letter as soon as possible in order to fully complete your enrollment. Letters can be brief (include the member’s name, your name and a sentence stating that the member is willing to act as your sponsor) and should be emailed, mailed or fax to us. We thank you for your cooperation with this new policy in advance.
Supervision
With a maximum 10 to 1 camper to staff ratio, you can be confident that your child is fully supervised by a team of qualified professionals. We pride ourselves on hiring an all-adult staff, each of whom has a strong passion for working with children in a camp environment. It is the goal of our camp staff to make each and every camper feel welcome, safe and successful.
The hiring process for all staff includes two to three rounds of interviews, three reference checks, federal, state and local background checks and a staff orientation. Our staff members are CPR and First-Aid certified as well. You can be sure that your child’s director and counselors will be enthusiastic, creative, responsible and fun!
Camp Program
At Camp Saratoga, your child will experience an array of exciting activities including, but not limited to, Arts & Crafts, Fun with Foods, Team Building, Group Games and Martial Arts. In addition, the club pros will provide campers with recreational golf and tennis instruction twice a week. Campers will have approximately 1.5 hours of recreational swimming each day. The best part is that no two days at camp are exactly alike!
And let’s not forget about Wacky Wednesdays! Every Wednesday at camp is a wacky one with themes ranging from Mission to Mars to Halloween in July. Click here to check out the 2012 Wacky Wednesday Calendar!
Lunch and Snacks
A kid-friendly lunch will be provided by the club daily for every camp. If you would prefer to pack your own lunch for your child, please do so in a cooler or backpack.
A snack will be served each afternoon to all campers. We encourage you to pack some extra snacks for your child as well.
Please note that we are a “nut aware” camp. We ask that you do not pack any food for your child that contains nuts. Likewise, the lunches and snacks served by the club will not contain any nuts. If your child has a food allergy and you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.
What to Wear and Pack
KECamps requires all campers to wear our official camp shirt each day of the week. Additional shirts may be purchased at camp. Campers should dress in comfortable clothes and tennis shoes.
Please do not wear flip-flops, sneakers with wheels or sandals. Children should pack a labeled swimsuit, towel, spray sunscreen and water bottle each day. You may also send your child with a labeled tennis racket and/or golf clubs. Extra equipment will be available at camp if your child does not bring these items. On the first day of camp, your director will provide you with a schedule for golf and tennis so that you can pack accordingly. Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Having a bag or backpack to hold everything is a must!
