Is this camp a good fit for my child?
Is your child adventurous and open to trying new things? Does your child enjoy running around, hiking, and being outside? Does your child like music and dance? Then the answer is probably yes!
My child has specific needs, can they be accommodated?
We welcome children of varying needs including those who are considered neurodivergent. Over the years One Generation Camp has attracted campers who may struggle in a typical school setting, but blossom beautifully in the outdoor semi-structured environment of our camp. While we do not offer specific one-on-one support, individual aid's are welcome. Please contact us directly if your child has particular needs so we can discuss whether we can provide for them and/or if you have questions. For other services for those with neurodiversity, including support groups and parent coaching, please visit our website In One Generation!
What are your staffs qualifications?
All of our staff have extensive experience with children, while our specialized music/dance teachers also have extensive experience in their particular modality. All of our camp counselors are CPR/First Aid certificated, fingerprinted, have passed background checks, and went through our extensive camp training. Please visit the Staff section for more about each teacher.
What happens during choice time?
Choice is a time for children to explore their surroundings. They can choose from a variety of activities including arts/crafts, nature projects, games, and books. This time will vary according to the desires of the group as well as the age range.
Is snack/lunch provided?
No, please provide your own snack and lunch from home.
Is your camp nut-free?
We are not nut-free, however, if we have a camper with a nut allergy, we will do our best to restrict nuts and nut butters in their group to allow for a safer experience. Please let us know about any allergies in general!
What happens if my child has a fever, feels sick, and/or is found to have nits/lice?
We will contact you and expect your child to be picked up ASAP. Nobody wants to be out at camp when they aren't feeling well and, as we all know, nits/lice are very contagious. The health/safety of our campers and staff are always top priority so everyone stays well.
Do you provide extended care?
Extended care is not provided, however if you are in need, please contact us as sometimes our daily camp counselors are willing to help out!
Can my child bring toys/books from home to camp?
Sorry! We ask that all toys and books stay at home where they won't get damaged or lost.
Do you offer a CIT program?
We do! Please visit our Staff page under CIT's for more information.
What is the cost of camp?
During Early Bird Season (typically Jan-Feb), we offer camp at a discounted rate of $475 per week. Regular rates are $550 for 1 week. If a week is shorter due to a holiday, it is prorated. We strive to make camp as affordable as possible, while also seeking to compensate our amazing teachers what they deserve. Please believe us when we tell you that we pay our teachers above market rate and for good reason! They are worth it plus more! That said, we do our best to accommodate everyone so that families who want to join us can. Please see below for discounts and scholarships.
Do you offer discounts?
Discounts are offered for siblings, solo-parent households, and multiple weeks. Additionally, Early Bird Registrations for summer camp are offered between January 1 and February 1. Need-based financial scholarships and payment plans are available. We do our best to offer every family an opportunity to join us, at the same time taking into consideration the cost of fair compensation to our incredible teachers. Please contact us directly for discounts so discount codes may be given when appropriate.
Can I get a refund if my plans change?
A full refund, minus a 5% processing fee, may be returned up to 30 days before the start of the first day of the Summer Camp season. After 30 days before the start of the first day of the season, we are unable to provide a refund.
*Please note: If your child is asked to leave for any reason and/or unforeseen natural events (including COVID) causes camp to close after the first day of the summer camp season, no refunds will be given.*
