All campers must be at least 3 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle an active 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:

You have the option to purchase a kid-friendly lunch provided by the club for $50 per week.  If you would like to purchase this optional lunch, you can do so at the time of enrollment.  Otherwise, you are welcome to pack a lunch for your child in a cooler or backpack.  Regardless of which lunch option you choose, all campers will receive an afternoon snack provided by the club. 

*Half-Day Campers:  The Half-Day program technically ends at 12:30PM, right before our lunch period.  Should you want your child to eat lunch at camp, he or she may stay for the lunch period which is 12:30PM – 1:00PM.  You may either purchase the lunch provided by the club or bring your own.  Please inform your Camp Director if you plan to have your child stay to eat.

Please note that we are a “Nut Aware” camp.  We ask that you do not send your child with any food that contains nuts.  PLEASE MAKE SURE TO INFORM US IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY FOOD ALLERGIES OR DIETARY RESTRICTIONS.

Campers should dress in comfortable shorts, t-shirt and sneakers each day.

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:
