We encourage you to read through these questions and answers for a more in-depth look into what a KE Camps – Club Partnership looks like. Keep in mind that these are somewhat general in nature and we pride ourselves on being able to customize our program to each unique club location. We hope you will pursue a partnership with us and should you be interested, we look forward to discussing your club’s specific needs!
Absolutely. Our programs are designed to enhance the club’s existing programs by introducing golf and tennis to children for the first time. This will lead to increased participation and interest throughout the year. It also allows children who do not want to attend a full time golf or tennis camp to gain exposure to these activities in a more recreational setting. We can be flexible in our daily schedule to accommodate any children who would like to participate in both the club’s swim team and our camp.
Camp is meant to enhance the environment at your club, not compete with it. The KE Camps staff will be in regular communication with your in-house team regarding camp logistics and scheduling. We understand that flexibility is key. It is the goal of KE Camps to blend seamlessly with your club.
Yes! We can still use the club’s facilities in coordination with club management. Being open five days a week allows working families to still have their child attend camp without having to search for a different Monday option. We have learned that this increases enrollment and is a tremendous value member service for families. If you cannot provide limited use of the facilities for camp’s purposes on Mondays, we are able to operate a Tuesday-Friday camp instead.
As much space as possible, but we do understand that there are other events and functions happening at the Club and we may have to move our camp around from time to time. It is essential that there is some indoor or covered area available to us for part of the day.
We need the club to provide a covered area in case of inclement weather. Our rainy day programs are equally active, creative and fun!
Yes!
We always encourage our families to bring their own equipment for golf and tennis. We recommend that the club invest in some junior equipment as well.
We maintain a maximum staff to camper ratio of 1:8, but aim to keep it to 1:6.
These decisions are based on area demographics and the local school calendar.
This is the club’s option. However, to maximize enrollment and exposure to your club, we recommend that Guests and/or Non-Members be allowed to attend camp. This is a great way to boost membership by exposing your club as family-friendly.
All of our families use our customized online registration system which allows them to enter their family, camper and medical information, permission forms and payment in a secure environment.
KE Camps is happy to provide updated enrollment reports as often as the club would like. You will also be provided with a link where you can check on registration at your convenience.
Our insurance policy renews annually at the end of May and clubs will receive the ACORD certificate prior to the first day of camp.
We do! KE Camps provides a toll free number for parents to use throughout the year. Parents are free to call or email anytime with any questions.
All of our Camp Directors are local teachers, educators, or professionals with extensive experience working with children. All of our Camp Counselors are energetic, passionate, fun and often studying elementary education. Staff members go through a thorough hiring process which includes 2-3 interview rounds, 3 reference checks, background check, sex offender check and a training in child abuse prevention and reporting procedures. In addition, all staff members are CPR and First Aid certified and attend a pre-camp training.
We must know that you would like to use our services by March 1st. In our experience, deciding any later than this will be detrimental to the potential success of camp as it is late in the season for staffing, planning, etc.
