Club Registration Requirements

Camp registration is for both current BISW Students and their Guests.

Age Range: 3 - 11

All campers must be at least 3 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained.

Since we are a traditionally-inspired day camp, we love to think of all of our campers and staff as a big camp family for the week.  With that, we always start and end the day as a family with a time we call "Hello Camp and Goodbye Camp".  We also eat lunch together as a group.  Throughout the rest of the camp day, there are 3 ways the campers will be grouped: Whole Camp Activities, Groups by Age and Groups by Activity Choice (Electives).

Activities

Each day of camp will be a new and exciting experience for our campers as no two days with KE Camps are exactly alike!  Our days begin with Hello Camp, a morning meeting of sorts where, through an assortment of organized activities, campers and staff get to know each other, review the day’s schedule and sing our special camp song! Similarly, we will end our days with Goodbye Camp, a time for wrap-up activities and reflections, SMILE Bands, snacks, and “see you later’s”.   The bulk of camp will be spent participating in a wide variety of activities throughout the day that may include:

Arts & Crafts
Group Games
Fun with Foods
Cooking
STEM Challenges
Electives: Every afternoon, campers will be able to choose which Elective they would like to attend. Elective choices will vary from day to day and will include fun and interactive subjects such as Sports, Drama, Music, Create & Build, Fine Arts and Movement. Campers look forward to putting their individual KE Camps Tree up on the Elective Board to indicate which activity they choose!

Wacky Wednesdays

Every Wednesday at camp is a wacky one with a different festive theme – a true highlight of each week! Check out this summer’s Wacky Wednesday Calendar!

Thankful Thursdays

We are excited to announce the return of Thankful Thursdays into our camp program! In true camp spirit, every Thursday campers will have the chance to give back to their community by working together on a simple, fun and rewarding community service project. Check out this summer’s Thankful Thursday Calendar!

Lunch & Snacks

All campers will be served a morning snack.  Full-Day Campers should bring a lunch in a cooler or backpack along with a snack that he or she can have in the afternoon. If your child is staying for After-Care, please send an extra afternoon snack 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. If your child has a food allergy and you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Packing List

KE Camps requires all campers to wear our official camp shirt each day of the week. Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Campers should dress in comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. Additional shirts may be purchased at camp. Camp is a place to un-plug! Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack:

Extra Snacks
Lunch
Water Bottle

Registration & Payments

Registration for Summer 2023 will open on December 12, 2022 at 10:00am EST.  You may add additional weeks as the summer goes on. You must be enrolled in advance, however, in order to attend camp. We are happy to accept online registrations up until the night before the start of each week of camp, provided that space is available.

Full payment is due upon registration.  This includes a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $42 which includes 2 camp t-shirts. We accept ACH Payments and American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover.  We encourage all families to pay via ACH as all credit card transactions will be subject to a 2.75% surcharge to offset the cost of credit card processing.

If your child has special needs or will require extra assistance while at camp, please contact us before you enroll to discuss!

Cancellations & Refunds

ALL requests for cancelations or changes must be informed in writing via email to info@kecamps.com.  Cancelations made by May 1, 2023 will be refunded in full (less the registration fee and credit card surcharge (if applicable)).  If you do not submit it in writing by May 1, 2023, you will be responsible for all fees as space is limited.  We will however, always offer a credit towards a future week (if space is available) or for the following summer.
