Most Frequently Asked Questions

How does your staff know if my child has a medical condition that will need to be monitored at camp?

Our application includes a camper medical form that includes a section for you to indicate any medical conditions your child has. (i.e. asthma, etc.) We have a “red flag” system that is used to notify our camp directors and your child’s direct counselors of this condition. This information is given on a need to know basis with every step being taken to respect your child’s privacy. If you have concerns about your child, please do not hesitate to talk your child’s camp director.

What safety precautions do you take at the water parks?

Our staff is on the pool deck as well as in the pool with your children. Each child wears a waterproof KidsCo wrist band to identify them as being with KidsCo camp. Directors are certified in CPR and 1st Aid. We do not depend solely on lifeguards to watch the children but, work with them, ultimately relying on our staff to be accountable for your child’s safety.

Roll calls are taken before the children leave the bus, once they are in the park, again at adult swims, before leaving the park, and again on the bus. The safety of your children is our number one concern.

How do you keep track of the children on day trips?

On scheduled field trip days, campers wear their current KidsCo trip shirt. This is the shirt that you pay for at the time of application. We have your children wear these shirts to help ensure the safety and instant visual identification of all our campers. Your children are accompanied throughout the day by their Counselors. Our counselors do scheduled roll calls throughout the day and are equipped with cell phones and walkie talkies to keep in contact with each other and their camp director.

Can I split a camp session?

Parents are encouraged to have their children attend a full session; however we understand that that is not always possible, so we do allow you to split a session.

Can I send my child for just a few days of the week instead of the whole week?

We do not discount weeks. If your child can not attend all of the days, you will still be charged the full tuition. This policy is for both the Day Camp and the Teens On-The-Run day trip camp.

What do I send with my child to camp?

Send your child with a backpack or bag for belongings. Your child’s belongings should be labeled. In their backpacks, please send a bathing suit, towel, extra sunscreen, and a lunch & drink. (We do have coolers for lunches) On trip days, children need to pack non-perishables.

Children are not encouraged to bring valuables to camp. (i.e. jewelry, Game Boys, collector cards, etc.)

What do the kids do if it rains?

KidsCo has an awesome rain day schedule. Sometimes it’s a nice change in the routine for the campers. Check with the director
