GIGCC Day Camp

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

If you are not a Club Member of Grosse Ile Golf & 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 GIGCC 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 Grosse Ile Golf & 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:

A kid-friendly lunch will be provided by the club daily for each camper. 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 and your child's Health Form Supplement is received.

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 June 26, 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.

Don’t forget to take a look at the important camp forms below.

Dear Campers and Families, 

My name is Claire Walters and I will be returning for my second summer as camp director at GIGCC Day Camp. I am currently a senior, studying at Saint Mary’s College of Notre Dame. I will be graduating this spring with a BA in Communications and History, with a background in Elementary Education. 

I absolutely loved camp last summer and could not wait to come back! My passion for working with children stems from having experiences student teaching, working at a band camp, and being a soccer coach. All of these experiences have shown me how meaningful it is to make sure children are having fun while learning new skills. 

In addition to being a college student, I enjoy going for runs on warm summer days, watching the sunset with friends at a nearby park, finding new records for my record player, and spending time with my family outside playing corn hole. I am a leap year baby which means my true birthday only comes around every four years. I play the saxophone in the Notre Dame marching band, and I am always going to say yes to getting ice cream! 

I look forward to welcoming our new campers as well as seeing returning families. Let’s make this summer the best one yet. The countdown to camp begins now! 

See you Soon, 

Claire Walters
