Frequently Asked Questions
CAN I HAVE A REFUND IF I ALREADY REGISTERED?
We apologize, but there are absolutely no refunds once the payment has been processed.
WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED FOR THE ONE-DAY CAMP?
Everything will be provided to your child on the day of camp. Parents must remember to bring any necessary or cautionary medications for their children.
WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED FOR THE OVERNIGHT CAMP?
You will receive an email containing a parent handbook and packing list approximately one week before camp begins. This will contain all necessary information for your child's overnight stay.
CAN MY KIDS BE IN THE SAME GROUP AS THEIR COUSINS/FRIENDS?
We try to be as accommodating as possible, but we are not able to promise that we can group your child with specific individuals. Due to the large number of campers we receive, we do not take group requests. Being in a group with new people is also a great way to build social skills and make new friends!
CAN MY CHILD PARTICIPATE IN A SESSION IF THEY ARE NOT THE REQUIRED GRADE?
We do not make exceptions for registration grade levels. Disclosing false information on a camper's registration is grounds for cancellation without a refund.
ARE THERE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AT CAMP IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY?
The camp has an on-site Nurse for medical concerns as well as a Camp Ranger for medical support and safety/security concerns. If your child has any major health considerations, please indicate those details on their registration form so we can be prepared for your child if the need arises.
IS THE CAMP STAFF QUALIFIED?
Our Camp Staff is required to undergo a mandatory retreat which encompasses all the different activities and programs which occur during the camp. All volunteers ages 18 and up have completed the mandated Protecting God's Children safety course, as well as a full criminal background check. Volunteers donate their time to the camp in order to ensure your child has an amazing time while remaining in a safe and nurturing environment.
HOW DO I APPLY TO BE A VOLUNTEER AT THE CAMP?
Visit www.chaldeanyouthcamp.com/volunteer or send an email to volunteer@chaldeanyouthcamp.com for any information regarding volunteering for the camp.
DO I NEED TO PACK A LUNCH FOR MY CHILD?
No. Every child is provided with Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for the duration of their time at camp. Snacks will also be provided throughout the day. If your child has dietary requirements (ex: Gluten-free), please note this on the registration form and we will provide a separate meal for them.
MY CHILD HAS SEVERE ALLERGIES - CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE THEM?
We are a NUT FREE camp! We always try to do everything we can do to accommodate children who have special needs. Please list all pertinent information down when registering your child. If you need additional verification, please submit an email to info@chaldeanyouthcamp.com so we can verify your child's needs.
CAN I BE WITH MY CHILD AT THE CAMP?
Due to transportation and security concerns, parents are not permitted to accompany their child to the camp. The campgrounds are secured of all non-essential personnel to ensure the safety and security of all campers under our care.
CAN I DROP MY CHILD OFF AT THE CAMPGROUNDS?
Due to transportation and security concerns, parents are not permitted to drop off their child to the camp. All campers are required to check-in at Mother of God and travel on the bus to the campgrounds.
CAN MY CHILD BRING THEIR OWN FOOD TO CAMP?
Your child will be provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the camp, as well as snacks throughout the day. We only allow food to come with a child if their dietary or special needs require it. You child's health information must be listed on the camper's registration form.
WHO KEEPS MY CHILD'S MEDICATION?
All camper medication is kept in a secured room in the central point of the campgrounds where the Camp Ranger and Camp Nurse will have access to it. The only medication which we permit for a camper or their counselor to carry on their person is an inhaler.
HOW CAN I CONTACT MY CHILD DURING CAMP?
We don't encourage recreational contact with your children during the camp session. If there is an important message or conversation, you may contact an emergency number that will be provided to you after registration or you can send an email to info@chaldeanyouthcamp.com to request that a Camp Director connect you with your child. In the event of any type of emergency, we will contact you directly. If we cannot get in contact with either parent, we will attempt to get in contact with the Emergency Contact listed.
CAN MY CHILD BRING THEIR PHONE TO CAMP?
No. Per campground rules, campers are not permitted to possess a cellphone or any other electronic device. There are absolutely no exceptions.
HOW ARE YOU HANDLING COVID-19?
Our plan is to enforce our COVID guidelines as guided by the American Camp Association. We are planning on having mostly all activities outside. Hand-sanitizer and other sanitary products will be available throughout the campgrounds.
