Does my child need to bring money to camp?
No, everything they will need including canteen (snacks/drinks) is included in the camp fees/tuition. We do have a camp store on site that will be open on registration day, closing day, and periodically throughout the session. The camp store only sells Wyldewood merchandise. If you don’t want to send money with your camper, store credit can be added to your account.
Can my child bring snacks to camp?
Yes, they are welcome to bring their own snacks.
Does my camper need closed toed shoes?
We highly recommend bringing a pair of closed toed tennis-shoes. Some activities require closed toed shoes.
What if my child has food allergies?
If your child needs a special diet please call the office at least one week in advance to help us develop a plan for your child.
When do closing ceremonies take place?
We recommend that guests arrive around 7:15 p.m. Closing ceremony will begin in Rec 1 with praise and camper awards. Around 8:00 p.m. we will start dismissing groups down to the bottom of Bee Rock. Parents are welcome to walk with their campers. If any guest is not able to make the walk, we will provide transportation. We ask that guests please not drive their own vehicles down to the bottom. The ceremony at the bottom of Bee Rock usually takes about an hour. After the ceremony, everyone is invited to canteen in the gym. If you are checking your camper out that night, there will be a table where you can sign your camper out, pick up their phone and medicine.
During 1-week sessions, closing ceremony will take place on Thursday night. For 2-week sessions, closing ceremony will take place on the 2nd Wednesday night.
Do I need to send money for canteen or crafts?
No, canteen and crafts are included as part of your fees/tuition.
Are there rules about swimsuits?
No, if we swim with boys and girls together we wear t-shirts and shorts over our swimsuits. We do ask that swimsuits are in good taste.
What’s the difference between the canteen and the store?
Canteen: We have canteen twice each day, once in the morning and again in the evening. Campers will receive one snack and one drink at each canteen. Canteen cost is included in your registration fee, no extra money is needed.
Store: The Wyldewood Store is where campers can purchase Wyldewood merchandise. The store will be open registration and pick up days. Parents can also add store credit to your camper’s account through our online registration system. Please contact marykyle@campwyldewood.org if you have any questions.
Where can I see pictures of my camper?
All session photos will be uploaded on Facebook. We can never guarantee that every child will be featured, but our amazing photographers do their best to include group shots to give you the best chance of seeing your camper!
