Summer Camp Questions

---

We want our parents to feel comfortable while their children are attending summer camp here at Camp Rock!

Camp Rock offers summer camp for children ages 4 years old (fully potty trained) up to age 12 years. Campers are grouped by age. Some ages will be combined based on class size and summer camp registration. 

• 4-5 Years (Must be age on date of 1st attendance and fully potty trained)
• 6-7 Years
• 8-9 Years
• 10-12 Years

On average we follow a 1:15 staff to camper ratio. Keeping our summer camp class sizes at this minimum allows us to get to know our campers well and makes for an even better camp experience.

Camp Rock's day officially begins at 8:00 AM. We offer before-care services from 7-8 AM.

Camp Rock's day officially ends at 4:00 PM. We offer after-care services from 4-6 PM.

Our summer camp curbside drop off and pick up times are listed below:

• Before Care (additional cost or package selections): 7:00-8:00 a.m.

All of our summer camp counseling staff are over the age of 18 and are often college students, graduates, experienced professionals, summer vacationing teachers, and or retired professionals. All of our staff also undergo training and certifications such as:

• FBI Fingerprint/Background Screening
• CPS Background Screening
• CPR/First Aid Certification
• Pastoral Recommendation for Employment

Multiple other certifications are held by our staff to safely operate Camp Rock.

Campers may bring their own lunch and or purchase a weekly hot lunch pass for $18 per week. Hot lunches are served at summer camp on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. 

A snack will be provided daily to campers. We also have a "Snack Shack" available for campers to purchase snacks in addition to their lunch during their lunch period. Campers may bring cash, load funds onto their Camp Rock account, or purchase a "Camper Go Pass" to the store. 

Campers bringing lunch should note the following stipulations:

• We are a "NUT FREE" facility: we do have various campers and staff with nut allergies. No food is permitted containing nuts! 

• Campers bringing lunch should be able to prep their meal and manage their meals on their own. Please pack items that your child can easily open to minimize food handling.

• Campers will NOT have access to heat their food. Please place items needing to remain at a warm temperature inside a thermos or temperature-controlled container.

• Campers should have their lunch box containers clearly labeled with their full name. 

• Lunches will be stored in a cool indoor classroom, please utilize cooling aids for lunches requiring cooling outside of "cool room temperatures." 

Our swimming pool ranges from 3 ft. to a gradual increase to 5.5 ft. in depth. All Campers must complete a water buoyancy test and pass a swim test administered by our certified lifeguard in order to utilize our swimming pool during summer camp.

Camper passing additional swim test are permitted to the deep end. Our pool is securely gated and monitored while in operation by a certified lifeguard on duty who is also CPR/First Aid certified. 

• Splash pools and water activities are available for our younger campers to get wet if they are unable to pass the swim test or if parents prefer they do not use the pool.

• Campers on average get wet in some form or fashion every day and may use the pool several times throughout the week but should come with their swimsuits on daily.

• We do have other water activities and water inflatable slides for older campers unable to pass the swim test.
