Club Registration Requirements
If you are not a Club Member of The Redding 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 RCC Rocket Camp in any way, however, he or she must be aware that you are listing him or her as your Sponsor. This policy allows The Redding Country Club to ensure that all Non-Members attending camp are associated with a Club Member in some way.
Age Range: 3 - 12
All campers must be at least 3 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained.
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 morning for campers ages 3 - 4 and each afternoon for campers ages 5 - 12. 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. 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 (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.

Meet Your Camp Director
Dear Camp Families,
My name is Maddie Baker and I am the camp director for KE Camps at The Redding Country Club this summer! I graduated from Moravian University in May of 2021 with a degree in Music Education and am currently the music teacher at Redding Elementary School, teaching pre-k through 4th grade. I always look forward to my students exploring new interests and seeing their friendships and confidence grow as they learn in class. I enjoy working with children of all ages and seeing how each child has their own interests and passions to share with their peers. In my free time, I love to spend time with my cat Callie, go hiking and running, and love to play guitar and ukulele. I have a bubbly personality and love to learn new things about the people around me!
I am very excited to begin at camp this summer because I love working closely with children and providing them with fun and engaging activities for them to express themselves! It is my hope that the children will connect with their peers at camp and continue that friendship after summer. I cannot wait to spend time outdoors with all the children as we all learn more about each other and make new friendships!
See you soon!
Maddie Baker
