How to Contact the Program Director
Call (803) 462-5559 Emergency contact cards will be given at check-in. We ask that you please do not ask your child to call home, and please do not call your child unless it is an emergency. The program staff will call you if there is a problem.
Bank
There will be no need to bring any money for canteen or t-shirts. Every participant will receive a snack each day and a program t-shirt.
Food
Menus for the week are designed to provide a balanced and nutritious diet. Camp is equipped with a modern kitchen, which is operated by an experienced and well-trained staff. Please note on the Participant Health Form if your child has any food allergies or other food related issues. Please do not send food with your child. Every camper will receive two snacks each day. Please do not send food with your child or to your child in a care package.
Contacting Your Child
Writing letters to your child is a fantastic idea. They love getting mail and feel left out when others receive mail and their name is not called. It would be a good idea to write your child and mail it before they leave home on Friday or Saturday, so it will reach them before they leave. Alternatively, you can leave mail with the staff at check-in. Please do not send care packages that include food items. The mailing address is: 4-H Camp Attn: [Participant's Name] 8001 M W Rickenbaker Rd Sum...

We've created a list of necessary items, so your child is prepared. We suggest that you help your child pack his/her suitcase so they will know what was packed and will be better able to repack for home. Let your child make some decisions on what to bring. We recommend that they bring only one suitcase and one bedroll, and they do not bring new clo...
Refunds
We offer full refunds, minus your $200 nonrefundable deposit, until four weeks before the program begins. This policy exists because we must purchase supplies, shirts, food and materials for your child in the weeks leading up to camp. This policy is strictly enforced.

We understand that things change, and you may need to transfer your child from one week to another, so we make every effort to accommodate those requests. There is a $50 transfer fee for each session transferred.
