What are camp hours?

Camp begins at 9 am and runs until 2:30 pm.   While we do not offer before or after care, many campers adore their counselors and the counselors are often looking for babysitting gigs!  These arrangements are up to each individual family to coordinate. 

How do I communicate with camp?

While camp is in session, the best way to reach a camp director is by cell phone.  During the school year, please try them by email first.  Contact information can be found on the page labeled “Contacts” or by clicking here.

What should I do with my child’s medication?

Every morning, your child(ren) will check in at their respective Bomber Sports Camp tent to drop off their lunch and medication. Please put your child’s name on his/her medication. Additionally, please provide detailed instructions for how to help your child take his/her medication (if necessary).

*Please note that we do have a certified athletic trainer or a registered nurse on campus at all times to help handle any medical needs any camper may have.

What should my child wear to camp?

On the first day of camp we will hand out our Bomber Sports Camp shirts. Ideally, your child would wear them every day. However, we do realize that eventually these shirts will need to be washed (especially after all of the sports and games they will be playing!) On laundry days, please have your camper wear a yellow t-shirt if they’re in the 4-6th grade “league” or a blue shirt if they’re in the 2-3rd grade “league” so they can be easily identified as Bomber Sports campers. In addition to their blue/ yellow shirts, they should wear athletic shorts, tennis shoes, and sunscreen every day!

*Note for girl campers- bring a swimsuit, towel and mouth guard each day.

** As mentioned above, please lather your child in sunscreen every morning before drop off.  We supply sunscreen as well and invite the children to re-apply as often as desired, but starting off the day with total protection is the most vital part of your child’s sun protection day.

What equipment should my child bring to camp?

Other than a water bottle and their lunch, the kids don’t need to bring anything else! The camp will provide all sports equipment. However, if your camper loves his baseball glove or her field hockey stick and would prefer to bring their own, then by all means…bring it!  Please label everything and we will keep the campers belongings in their team bins.
