Important Information for Parents

To help us provide the best experience for your child, please let us know any important details. Tap the plus sign (+) next to each category to view more.

#1
ALLERGIES
For campers who require an EpiPen, please clearly label their belongings and note where the medication is located for quick access in an emergency. We kindly ask families to remind staff at drop-off daily, as staff may rotate. Your communication helps us provide the safest care possible. As a reminder staff cannot administer medication.
#2
SUNSCREEN
Please apply sunscreen before your camper arrives at the beach. For fair skin, we recommend zinc-based sunscreen and a hat. Rash guards and lightweight pants can also help with sun protection. Staff do not apply sunscreen — we build in breaks and remind campers to reapply throughout the day.
#3
SPECIAL NEEDS
If your camper needs accommodations to have a safe and successful day, please contact us prior to their first day. When you arrive at camp, please remind us at check-in about the conversation.
#4
THINGS WE SHOULD KNOW
If there is anything else that helps us support your camper (comfort needs, drop-off tips, triggers, etc.), please let us know at check-in or email us ahead of time.

How It Works

What Families Are Saying

A few longer notes from parents who’ve spent their summers with us.
★★★★★
“We've been attending Camp Awesome for several years now. We always go for a few weeks of August. My kiddos just love it. They splash around in the waves with staff and the staff is wonderful. It's also one of the few camps where you purchase by the day vs the week, so the flexibility is great”
— Adrianna-Annie H.
★★★★★
“Camp Awesome is TOTALLY AWESOME! I am quoting my 8 year old daughter as she summed it up best. And I totally agree with her. Camp Awesome has an incredible staff filled with responsible and professional camp counselors. They make sure the kids are safe, and their days are filled with a ton of fun. The customer service is incredibly helpful and easy to connect with, either by phone and/or email.”
— S. Dave. F.

PARENTS GUIDE TO AWESOMENESS

Each of your campers are so special and unique and as a parent you know them best. Working together, we can be sure your camper is set up to have a successful time with us! Everything you need to know about what to pack, drop-off & pick-up procedures, safety policies, and more! FOR THIS INFO CHECK OUT OUR Parent's Guide to Awesomeness.

Important Information for Parents

To help us provide the best experience for your child, please let us know any important details. Click the plus sign (+) next to each category to access the dropdown menu.

For campers who require an EpiPen, please clearly label their belongings and note where the medication is located for quick access in an emergency. We kindly ask families to remind staff at drop-off daily, as staff may rotate. Your communication helps us provide the safest care possible.

Please be sure to apply sunscreen before your camper arrives at the beach. If your camper has fair skin we recommend using Zinc based products and wearing a hat. You can also send them with long sleeve rash guards and thin pants to protect their legs. We spend time in the shade and reapply sunscreen throughout the day, but we find that campers who begin the days with a strong base have better protection from the sun.

If your camper has any special needs ( ie autism spectrum, disabilities..) Please contact us prior to their first day of camp to ensure we can provide the best and safest experience. When you arrive at camp please remind us at check in about the conversation.

If there is anything else you feel we should be aware of in regard to your camper please do not hesitate to let us know at check in.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITES

Ice Cream Trucks

An Ice Cream Truck will usually visit CAMP AWESOME® each day, though the schedule can vary. If you'd like your camper to purchase an optional treat (typically $2-$3), please send them with cash in a sealed bag.

For safety, money should be kept by the camper, as we are unable to hold onto it for them. Treats from the truck are available to the campers, but cash should only be shared among household members.
