Leaving the Grounds during Camp

 

We know that occasionally there are unavoidable circumstances that require your child to leave the grounds during their week of camp.  In this event, please be aware of the following guidelines:

Written Permission :  A signed note from the parent/guardian must be on file in the camp office containing a statement granting permission from the parent/guardian for the camper to leave the camp, the name(s) of the person(s) picking up the camper, and approximate pick up and return times. 

Check Out:  Campers must check out with his/her counselor and sign out at the dining hall before leaving the grounds.  

Check In:  Campers need to sign in at the dining hall and check-in with his/her counselor upon return.  Campers must return to camp before 9:30 p.m. or after 7:30 a.m. the next morning.

Personal Vehicles:  Vehicles driven by campers will be parked in designated areas and the keys turned in at the camp office for safekeeping while camp is in session.  

Please Note:  Leaving the camp grounds without written permission warrants immediate dismissal from the camp. 

Trading Post

Campers can purchase items at the Trading Post during their break times (usually open three times during the day).  Campers can choose a snack (soft drink or water and candy or ice cream), a t-shirt, a flashlight, etc.  (see our Trading Post page for a complete list of items available from the Trading Post).  Most food and drink items cost $.50-$1 each and other items range from $2-$24.

Bring a full plastic grocery bag of rinsed, squashed, aluminum cans and receive a $2.00 Trading Post credit (max 1 bag/camper).

 
Summer Camp Photos

Want to see what is going on at camp? Want to take a stroll down memory lane after camp? Click the“photos & email” link on our web site to see our camp gallery of photos.  If you have used this site before you can use your same username and login. Viewing photos is free. 

 

Summer Camp Bunk Notes
Want to send your camper a letter while he/she is at camp?  Click the“photos & email”link on our web site to see how to email your camper.  Send all emails prior to 9:00 a.m. on the last day of each camp.

In your letter/email tell her you are proud she is at camp.  Dwell on your child’s time at camp and avoid “how everyone misses him.”  Prevent yourself from suggesting to your child that he call home if homesick (this will set your child up for failure).  Tell her about big events she is missing after she returns home.

 

Emails will be screened for the child’s safety.

 

There is a fee for sending bunk notes (emails). Check the link for prices.

Homesickness

Our well-trained camp staff will work individually with those campers dealing with homesickness. As parents, you can help prevent homesickness.  In the weeks and days prior to camp:

·         Speak positively about the camp experience.

·           Practice by allowing the child to spend the night /weekend at a friend’s or relative’s house .

·          Avoid dwelling on what the camper may miss while away at camp.

·         Avoid suggesting that the camper call you from camp or that you will come get him/her .

·          Pray for your camper and the staff.  

 

Occasionally, a camper needs to return home due to homesickness, but we try to minimize this option as it can significantly reduce the likelihood that the camper will enjoy a camping experience in the future either at Camp Brosend or other camps.

Rules for Camp Life

It is our desire that Camp Brosend maintain an atmosphere where each camper has the opportunity to accept Christ as his/her personal Savior; to have fun; and to learn and grow spiritually, physically, and mentally. Campers and staff are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that encourages these objectives:

1.  Campers and staff members will be under the direct supervision of the program assistant/camp guide and are expected to abide by the schedule unless excused.

2.  Every person is expected to conduct himself in a Christian manner at all times.

3.  Campers and staff members can only leave the camp with the program assistant/camp guide's permission. Campers must have written permission from parents/guardians to leave grounds and must follow all check out/check in procedures.  Leaving the camp grounds without written permission warrants immediate dismissal from the camp.  

4.  Vehicles driven by campers will be parked in designated areas and the keys turned in at the camp office for safekeeping while camp is in session.  

5. The possession and use of tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, weapons, or fireworks in any form are prohibited on the camp grounds.

6. Sickness or injury must be reported to the camp nurse immediately.   All medications are to be turned in to the camp nurse in their original containers with their original prescription upon arrival (including Aspirin, Tylenol, etc.).

7.   Public display of affection is discouraged.   Hand-holding is permitted.  After dark, everyone is to stay within the road and in lighted areas only.

8. Radios, cell phones, beepers, mp3 players/ipods, CD players, TVs, video games, pets, shaving cream, silly string, super soakers/water cannons, candy, gum, food, and drinks are to be left at home.

10. The telephone may only be used with the counselor’s and camp guide’s permission.

11.  Food and drink are to be kept outside of the cabins.

12. Campers are permitted near the lake or in the woods only with counselor supervision.
