Frequently Asked Questions

Will I receive camp confirmation?
No confirmation will be sent. If you do not hear from us, space is available.

Who is in charge of the camp?
Certified teachers direct each camp location. Counselors, ages 14+, are interviewed and hired by the directors. Many counselors have been with the camps for several summers.

What is the camper/counselor ratio?
Children are assigned to a group of approximately 12 children with two counselors. They will be grouped with the same counselor for the duration of the camp session.

What will my child do all morning?
Each day's activities are centered on a theme. Children spend their days playing games, learning songs, listening to stories, creating crafts, engaging in free play and enjoying a snack.

What time may my child arrive at camp?
Camp counselors are responsible for campers from 9 a.m. until 12 noon. Supervised free play on the equipment will begin at 9 a.m. Group activities usually begin at 9:20 a.m.

How do I pick up my child?
We do not operate a carpool line, but ask parents to make contact with a counselor upon pick up. We will not allow children to run up to the parking lot to greet parents.

How will I know what is happening at camp?
You will receive a weekly newsletter each Monday describing the week's activities.

What should my child bring to camp?
Each child is responsible for bringing a LABELED snack, which will be stored in his/her group's box.

What should I do in the event of rain?
Please contact the T/E Hotline (610-240-1970) or the Township website (www.tredyffrin.org) in the event of rain. The camp does not have an indoor rain site and may be cancelled for that morning if it is raining hard. Pavillions are available at both sites and will be used in the event of showers.
