This season our summer team acted out some of the Dos and Don'ts that help to make your child's experience at camp a success. These include the Full Value Contract (outlined in the Parent Handbook), an example of our daily drop-off procedure, and some important things to be aware of before you arrive.

CoVid-19 Information

We are committed to holding a safe and fun summer day camp experience for your children.

Our Day Camp will follow all recommendations of the CDC and ILDPH and DeKalb County Health Department. This is a brief breakdown of our plans. A full handbook will be available very soon. Our Executive Director has been in touch with the DeKalb County Health Department and we are approved to open June 1st, as long as our region in Illinois enters Phase 3 of the Reopen Illinois Plan.

All campers are divided into "pods" with a maximum of 10 campers per pod.
Each pod has their own dedicated leaders that will be consistent during the week.
Each pod has their own "home base" with their own bathroom facilities. All facilities are disinfected frequently during the day per current guidelines.
Each Pod travels and does activities together.
Extra attention is made to not mix pods.
Lunch is served on disposables or as sack lunches. Pods eat their lunch in an area away from other groups. (Either in their home base or out in the outdoors), All dining areas are disinfected per CDC guidelines.
A special supply list is available in the Parent Handbook (listed above)
If Walcamp cancels a program, all fees will be refundable.
