CGCC Day Camp

This one-time non-refundable fee includes 2 camp t-shirts for your child.

If you are not a Club Member of Cape Girardeau Country Club, you must be “Sponsored” by a Club Member in order to register your child for camp. The Sponsoring Member will not be charged in association with CGCC Day Camp in any way, however, he or she must be aware that you are listing him or her as your Sponsor. This policy allows Cape Girardeau Country Club to ensure that all Non-Members attending camp are associated with a Club Member in some way.

All campers must be at least 5 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle a full day program.

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:

The club will provide a delicious and kid-friendly lunch for every camper each day. 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.

KE Camps 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 clothing and tennis shoes. Camp is a place to un-plug! Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack

Registration for Summer 2022 is open and will continue until we are full. 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 2.5% 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!

All requests for cancellations or changes must be made in writing to our office via email at info@kecamps.com. Cancellations made by July 10, 2022 will be refunded in full (less the registration fee).   After that, there are no refunds. We will, however, always offer a credit towards a future week (if space is available) or for next summer.

Dear Camp Families,

My name is Chelsey Sample, and this is my second year with KE Camps at Cape Girardeau! I am so happy to return as director, and I cannot wait for the fun to start! I am most excited about playing pickleball, swimming, and the new group games I have planned for us! For those of you who do not know me or are new to camp, let me introduce myself.

I have a husband and a 6-year-old son. I have a degree in Psychology and Child Development, and I currently work in special education at the elementary level. I have worked with children for the last several years in various environments, levels, and ages. I think very creatively, and my favorite part of working with children is seeing the spark in their eyes when some bit of information clicks, or inspiration strikes. There is so much joy that children experience in learning, and to be a part of that is a true blessing.

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Chelsey Sample
