Camp Information and Forms
General Information:
STAFF
We are proud to have members of our Green Hedges faculty, with years of classroom experience, lead our summer camp program. Staff training includes camp safety, activity planning, CPR, First Aid, and more, making your child’s experience both safe and fun. We offer low camper to counselor ratios in order to provide an optimal experience.
ATMOSPHERE
The summer camp program provides both indoor and outdoor activities that utilize the outdoor classroom, playground, picnic grove, and academic building. Communication is important! We know parents like to hear about camp highlights. A weekly e-newsletter will be sent electronically to parents each Friday.
SNACK & LUNCH
Campers should bring a water bottle, a morning snack with drink, and their own lunch with drink each day. Any allergy information and food restrictions will be addressed in detail after the registration process is complete.
CHILDREN 5 & UNDER
Campers aged 5 and under attending full day camp are required by the Virginia Department of Social Services to have rest time. Rest time will be right after lunch from 1:00-1:30 pm. Green Hedges will supply cots/mats. Parents provide a small bag containing a blanket, pillow, and soft item to hold. Some children will choose to sleep during this time and others will just rest and relax.
All children attending the summer program are required to be potty trained and be able to use the bathroom facilities independently.
MORNING CARE & EXTENDED DAY
Fee based Morning Care, which provides before- camp supervision is available on a contract basis from 8:00-9:00 am daily. Extended Day, which provides after-camp supervision is also available on a contract basis from 3:00 – 4:00 pm daily. This additional time will be spent playing games, making crafts, and having fun outdoors. You may enroll in the extended care program per week or select days at an a-la-carte rate upon availability.
GO GREEN
We embrace the idea of reducing our carbon footprint. Please help minimize the use of paper by completing the online registration and form. We also encourage you to pack snacks and lunches in reusable containers and bags to lessen the amount of trash collected during the camp day. Weekly camp communications will be provided electronically to add to our green initiatives.
