 Preparing Your Child - and Yourself *

TentIf this will be the first camp experience, here are some suggestions:

  • Visit the camp (by appointment) before your session begins so the camper will feel familiar with some of the faces and places.
  • Let her view the website photos and talk about them with her.
  • Assuming there is verbal communication:
    o Assure your camper you will be checking with camp staff to make sure she has everything she needs.
    o Stress that she can always let the staff know if her needs aren't being met.
    o Talk about feelings. Ask about her concerns.
    o Reassure her that camp staff will do everything possible to make sure she stays safe.
    o Talk about why she is going to camp and what some goals might be: to make new friends, do something new, play new games...

NW Kiwanis Camp strives to accommodate each camper's individual needs. We do our best to fullfill dietary needs, maintain medication regimens,  insure safety and provide comfort.

Please familiarize yourself with our daily program routine, our " What to Bring " list and drop off/pick up times/ dates.
