F.A.Q.

 

Redwood Country Day Camp offers everything your children would ever want from a day camp – swimming, sports, creative arts, nature – and much more! On 27 private acres of spacious fields and forests, the Redwood experience is the closest you can get to a sleep away camp with all the advantages of a day camp.

 

HOW OFTEN DO THE CAMPERS SWIM?

Twice a day, with swim instruction in the morning and general swim or waterslides in the afternoon.

 

WHAT ACTIVITIES DO THE CAMPERS DO EACH WEEK?

A typical week at Redwood will include swimming twice a day – instruction in the morning and waterslides or general swim, with all the other activities once or twice a week. Throughout the week, campers will participate in all the activities at camp – rock climbing, nature and science, dance, arts and crafts, pottery, beading, games room, jungle vine, shuttle, hayrides, soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball, floor hockey, gaga ball, and super sports. For grades one and up, it will also include tennis, driver’s ed (teaching campers how to drive a golf cart), and optional activities such as golf, tennis, horseback riding, and overnights.

 

ARE ALL THE ACTIVITIES ON SITE, OR DO THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAMP PROPERTY?

All regular activities are on our site. The campers leave the property only for the optional activities of golf and horseback riding. If it is a very rainy day, we may take campers to a bowling alley close to camp that opens up just for us on those days. Our Senior CITS have outings, such as going to the beach, the movies, or other recreational activities specifically for this age group.

 

HOW DO YOU DIVIDE THE GROUPS?

Campers are divided according to grade level and gender. At the nursery level, boys and girls are sometimes mixed.

 

WHAT ARE THE SIZE OF THE GROUPS?

Nursery age: 2 counsellors for 8-10 campers or 3 counsellors for 12 campers.

Kindergarten: 2 counsellors for 10-12 campers.

Grades 1-5: 2 counsellors for 10-14 campers.

Grades 6/7: 1-2 counsellors for 10-14 campers.

When the campers go to an activity, there is a specialist to teach the activity.
