Please arrive within the windows above to keep the flow of traffic moving and we ask your patience as the people in front of you go through the check in / check out process. 

We cannot allow your camper to arrive (on Sunday) earlier than the time that is listed for their unit. We cannot allow your camper to leave (on Saturday) later than the time listed for their unit. 

If you have more than one camper and would like to drop off / pick up in one trip, please use the drop off time that is the LATEST for your children. On Saturday if you would like to pick up multiple children in one trip, please use the pick-up time that is the EARLIEST for your children. Thank you!

On the campers’ first day in camp, they are given a brief swim check to determine their swimming ability. The camper will then be assigned one of three levels of swimmer: 

Pool 1 (beginner), Pool 2 (intermediate), or Pool 3 (advanced). 

Pool 1 swimmers are just learning the basics of swimming….(< 25 yards); 

Pool 2 swimmers can swim between 25 – 50 yards with ease; 

Pool 3 swimmers can swim 50 – 100 yds with ease and can tread water for 3 minutes. 

Campers are not required to take instructional swim, but may elect to, as one of their three programs. With the help of our certified swim instructors, many swimmers have learned to swim in the week that they spend here at Camp Rotary! For the remainder of the week, the camper will only be allowed to swim in the area that corresponds with his/her pool level (or below).

Pillows Don’t forget the PILLOWS ! ( oh and the bedding of course) Each year we have some campers show up without bedding…. it’s easy to forget in the hustle and chaos of packing for camp! Camp Rotary provides each camper a bed with a mattress. All campers must provide their own sleeping bags or sheets with blankets. We recommend the latter, especially if your child has any bedwetting issues. Sleeping bags are tough to clean on a daily basis! And don’t forget the pillows!!!!

Health Care at Camp… In order to attend Camp Rotary, all campers must have a completed an online health history (parents can fill this section out) and evidence of a physical exam by a doctor that has happened within ONE year of their first day at camp for the summer of 2022. 

Upon arrival at camp, the camper will be screened by our nurses or their designees for any communicable diseases and for any recent changes regarding the campers health. IMPORTANT Re. Medications!! (medication administration policy, who is administering, storage and EPI pen use) Any camper who is currently taking any prescription medicines or anticipates needing any over-the-counter medications on a regular basis MUST bring their medications to the nurse and pass them in upon arrival. All prescription medications MUST be in their original container issued by the pharmacy with the camper’s name, the name of the medication, the date of the medication and the dosage all clearly visible. We cannot accept medications that are brought in anything but the original container. Any over the counter (OTC) medication that your camper takes regularly should be brought in its original store packaged container to the nurse upon arrival. 

There is a nurse on duty and on site 24 hours/day from the opening to the close of each session, as well as the stayover weekends. We also send a nurse with the field trip each week. Plan for administering medication Parents sign an authorization for the camp to administer any medication that the parent knows their child will need during their stay at camp. Additionally, we keep most “non-prescription”, over-the-counter medicines in stock in the infirmary to assist with any unexpected ailments that might arise. Anyone receiving any type of medication (prescription or not) will first have their health history checked for any allergies. Then the nurse will make an educated decision as to whether the camper or staff person requires any type of medication. If the nurse opts to administer any medication for any reason, she is required to record the date and time as well as the person’s name, types of symptoms, and type of medical response taken. Any instructions to the patient should also be recorded. All medications that are prescription medicine or non-prescription medicines that are taken contrary to the instructions on the box will require a written order from a physician or a nurse practitioner. 

The nurses at camp are not allowed to vary the prescription times or dosage from what is printed on the pharmacy label without a written order from the prescribing doctor. Those campers who receive medications on a routine basis will be administered their medication at the infirmary. Scheduling of medications will be discussed with parents at the time of the health screening prior to the camper’s admittance to camp. The camp nurse will always pour and administer medications. In an emergency situation, if the nurse is unavailable, the Director or other trained senior adult staff member will administer the medication. 

Plan for administering medication – self medication For any camper who is attending camp with an epi-pen, the camper may carry the epi-pen with him/her with the following conditions: The parent must sign off asserting that the camper is responsible for securing the epi-pen and capable of self-administering the epi-pen The parent must bring an additional epi-pen to camp that will be kept in the infirmary in case the child cannot access the epi-pen that he/she carries on their person. If for some reason the camper is unable to self-administer, the parent gives permission for the first trained staff person on the scene to administer the epi-pen, if needed. Storage / disposal of medications All medicines (prescription and non-prescription) must be locked at all times in the medicine cabinet at the infirmary. No medications are allowed to be kept in any camper cabins. The one exception may be a camper with a severe case of asthma or allergy. In this case the health care manager may authorize the camper to keep his/her inhaler / epi-pen on the camper or in the cabin, however s/he must keep a back-up of the medicine in the infirmary. In these cases, parents must sign a consent form affirming that the child is capable of self-administration and has permission from the prescribing doctor to self-administer and the director / counseling staff will be informed. All medications will be returned to the parent upon their child’s checkout. Any parent who fails to pick up their child’s medicine will be called by the nurse on duty. If they are unable to return to pick up the medication, the medication will be destroyed by the nurse with a witness present to document the destruction. 

Sunscreen Policy…In an effort to protect our campers and staff, Camp Rotary encourages all members of the Camp Rotary community to regularly apply sunscreen. Since most of our campers are old enough to competently apply sunscreen (with reminders and guidance from their counselors), usually this will suffice. If you have a very young camper or one who you know will need help in applying the sunscreen, we ask you to provide an appropriate sunscreen, labeled with your child’s name. At check-in, please give the sunscreen to the cabin counselor with written instructions as to what type of assistance you would like from the counselor. Our policy is that two counselors be present when one is applying sunscreen on a camper.

aerosol cans any valuable or cherished item (Ipods…several have gone missing!) radios (Walkman style allowed to be used at cabin ONLY) money (all money should be deposited in camper’s store account) cellular phones energy drinks pets (or animals of any kind) fans (small, plastic fans are allowed; larger electric fans are limited in each cabin – see counselor for approval) TV’s matches or lighters fireworks knives or any other weapon tobacco or any type of drug including alcohol MEDICATIONS… any medicine should be given to the camp nurse!

Generally an old and strong suitcase or trunk is best for packing. Storage space (a cubby) is available for each camper in a cabin, however, this is an open closet, unable to be secured. Many campers secure their valuables in their locked trunk or in the office. Please do not leave anything of value in your cubby, as we cannot be responsible for missing items. We suggest that you bring the following items for a one week stay: BEDDING Your child will be selecting one twin-size mattress on a bunk bed. Please make sure that you pack a pillow and choose between either sheets with blankets or a sleeping bag for your child. If your child has any issues with bed-wetting, please opt for the sheets and blankets and please provide a spare set of sheets. CLOTHING Please note that if your child would like to participate in BMX racing or the ropes/challenge program, they should be sure to pack the appropriate clothing: long pants, long sleeve shirts, boots or shoes and a bandana to wear under helmets. 4-6 pairs of shorts 7-8 t-shirts or jerseys 2 bathing suits 1 medium weight jacket 2 pair of sneakers 1 pair of sandals or aqua shoes 1 week supply of underwear (pack extra!) 1 raincoat or poncho with hood cap or hat 1 pair of dress pants (or dress) with semi-formal shirt for dance 1-2 pair of jeans or long pants 10-12 pair of socks 2-3 sweatshirts or sweaters several coat hangers 3 large towels 1 pair of pajamas 2 hand towels Costume for theme day OTHER ITEMS soap and dish toothbrush and toothpaste comb and/or brush flashlight and batteries camera/film/flash laundry bag bug repellent writing materials and stamps sunscreen magazines /books sports equipment Please clearly mark all of your child’s clothing/property with his/her name… this will greatly help us to identify unclaimed items at lost-n-found!
