PROMO CODES

All campers, CITs, and preschool campers must have a completed Camper Info Form on file by June 1. No child may attend camp without it. If your form is not received in a timely manner, your registration may be cancelled.
 
Parents/Guardians are encouraged to share any information that would allow staff to better care for your child.  We believe that simply “surviving” or “getting through” camp is not the experience we should accept for our campers or our staff. The better we know your child, the better experience they will have!

Brand New for Summer 2024

We have expanded our program to include a small group of campers ages 3-5. These campers will enjoy a dedicated staff member, a separate group space, creative activities, games, free play, and more.

Preschool campers will enjoy an altered version of our themed activities when it is not age appropriate for them to participate with the rest of camp. This will be a small group, offering lots of flexibility with the schedule and activities.

  • Campers must be potty trained
  • Very limited availability (just 5 spots per session)
  • No extended care available
  • $325 per week

Please view details on each session above to see current openings for Campers, Preschool, and CIT

Absolutely not!

Each week is based around a theme, but in the end it’s all just treasure hunts, games, like-minded friends, and adventurous fun that anyone could enjoy.

We have had campers attend wizard week who had only read Harry Potter once. We don’t gatekeep here! We want to enjoy the fandoms we love with anyone else who is interested.

CAMP RUNS DAILY 9AM – 4PM

Drop off as early as 8:50 and pick up as late as 4:10 with no additional fees.

EXTENDED CARE

Before Camp: Drop off as early as 8am • $20
After Camp: Pick up as late as 5:30pm • $30
Per camper, per session

SQDC SERVES CAMPERS AGES 3 – 15

Preschool campers are ages 3-5 (must be potty trained, max group is 5, mandatory Turtle Time each day (quiet time in AC for 40 min).

Campers are ages 6 – 12 and have successfully completed a full day program (preschool, day care, school, etc). 5 & 6yos who have not yet completed a full day program outside the home are simply not ready to be a camper and would be more successful in our preschool group.

We strive to break out as ages 6-7, ages 8-9, ages 10-12, but this is not always possible based on registrations.

CITs (Counselors in Training) are ages 13-15 and would like to help behind the scenes as well as with younger campers. If your teen is not interested in assisting with our program or campers, they would be more successful as a camper.

We understand that every child is unique and that you know your child best. 

PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOUR CAMPER IS OUTSIDE OF THESE AGE RANGES, BUT YOU THINK OUR PROGRAM COULD BE A GOOD FIT.

Campers can request to be in a group with a friend or sibling provided:

• they are the same age or within one year
• both campers request each other on their Camper Info Form by June 1
 
We are a small camp, with just 60 campers each week and we come together as a group most mornings for announcements, as well as the afternoons for pick up. Siblings and friends will see each other many times throughout the day.
 
Due to the logistics of staffing, group size, and scheduled activities, we may not be able to honor friend requests that are submitted after June 1. If your camper has a special situation, please reach out to discuss BEFORE the start of your camp session (Monday morning is typically very hectic each week).

AT SQDC WE BELIEVE DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION ARE AT THE HEART OF A THRIVING CAMP EXPERIENCE.

We have successfully worked with campers with separation anxiety, ADHD, Autism, physical limitations, medication schedules, and many other needs. Our session themes tend to be popular with campers who are neurodivergent, however, it is important to note that we are not a special needs camp.

Our program has many transitions – we rotate through morning activities, they move around camp during Quest every day, and in the afternoon with Camper Choice. If your camper has specific trouble with transitions, we may not be the best program for them.

We believe that simply “surviving” or “getting through” camp is not the experience we should accept for our campers or our staff.

Campers Unable to Participate
If your camper cannot participate in at least 80% of the scheduled group activities, be accommodated with a mutually beneficial solution, or is negatively impacting the success of  the group, we will be in contact with the parents to work out a plan or may have to ask for the camper to be picked up.

Mondays are particularly hard for our neurodiverse campers as they acclimate to a new space, people, and schedule. Please be proactive in preparing your camper and communicating their needs to staff.
 
One on One & Additional Supports
If your child has supports at school it is very likely they will need the same at camp. We are not staffed to provide this level of support and encourage you to secure assistance as needed. That said, we have had success with some campers who had support at school, but did well without that support at camp. Please contact us to discuss your unique situation.
 
MEDICATION
If your child takes medication daily to attend school, it is likely they will also need this medication to be successful at camp. If you choose to not medicate your child while at camp, please let us know on their Camper Info Form.
 
Gender & Identity
We do not discuss gender and/or identity with the campers and our staff are trained to actively and respectfully redirect the conversation around sensitive topics, just as we would if they were discussing a scary movie, drinking, politics, etc.
 
Based on best practices and guidelines provided by the American Association of Pediatrics and the American Camping Association, staff will use whatever name and pronouns your child prefers. 
 
Please see our Parent Handbook for our full policy and feel free to contact us with any questions. We are happy to respect your wishes around these or other policies should your camper require something different.
