Club Registration Requirements
If you are not a Club Member of River Run 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 Camp River Run in any way, however, he or she must be aware that you are listing him or her as your Sponsor. This policy allows River Run Club to ensure that all Non-Members attending camp are associated with a Club Member in some way.
Age Range: 4 - 12
All campers must be at least 4 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle a full day program.
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:
For more information on the tennis lessons at camp, please click here.
Tennis:
2 recreational group lessons each week
Swimming:
recreational swim time in the club’s pool each day
Arts & Crafts
Group Games
Fun with Foods
STEM Challenges
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
Please pack a lunch for your child in a cooler or backpack along with a snack that he or she can have in the afternoon.
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

Registration & Payments
Registration for Summer 2022 is open to Club Members and their Guests. You must be enrolled in advance 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!
Cancellations & Refunds
All requests for cancellations or changes must be made in writing to our office via email at info@kecamps.com. Cancellations made by June 12, 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.

Meet Your Camp Director
Dear River Run Club Families,
My name is Kathryne (Katie) Rickerl, and I am so excited to begin my summer with you.
I am a full-time student at Illinois State University. Go Redbirds! I have one semester of student teaching and then I will graduate in December of 2022. I have worked as a teacher's assistant for two years. I went to Doug Bruno's girls' basketball camp when I was in middle school. I loved being part of a team and making new friends along the way.
In my spare time, I love crafting, working out, and hanging out with my family. I can't wait to see you all at camp! We are going to have a fantastic summer together!
I love working with campers because you all teach me something new every day! Camp is about making friends and making memories to last a lifetime. At camp, we will learn about different activities, play, and learn some important lessons along the way.
See you soon!
Katie Rickerl
