Camp Tuition
| Members | Non-Members | |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly (Tuesday-Friday) | $375 | $450 |
One-Time Registration Fee: $45
Please note that full payment is due with your enrollment. There is a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $45 per child which includes 2 camp shirts. These shirts will be shipped to your home about 10 days after you enroll (and no sooner than March 1st).
For families enrolling very close to the camp start date, we are so excited to have you (!), however, this timing means that your shirts may not reach you before for your camper's first day. If this is the case, your camper can wear any green shirt to camp.
Age Range: 4 - 10
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:

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
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.
Packing List
KE Camps requires all campers to wear our official camp shirt each day of the week. Campers should dress in comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Camp is a place to un-plug! Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack:
Extra Snacks (Optional)
Flotation Vest:
If you know that your child will be classified as a Bogey (our term for Non-Swimmer) this summer or you prefer your child to be classified this way, please pack a flotation vest for use in the Shallow End of the pool.
Golf Clubs
Sunscreen:
Spray for body is preferred
Swimsuit
Towel
Water Bottle
Payments, Cancellations, Refunds
