Camp EVCC

Sold Out? Join our Waiting List.

We would be happy to add you to our Waiting List for any Sold Out week. Often, families need to make last minute changes to their registration and these cancelations could result in a space opening up for your child. There is no payment required if you would like to be added to the Waiting List. To add yourself, please use our online registration system to choose the weeks in which you are interested or email us at info@kecamps.com with your name, your child's name, your phone and email and the week(s) in which you are interested.

This one-time non-refundable fee includes 2 camp t-shirts a water bottle for your child.

If you are not a Club Member of Edgewood Valley Country Club you must be “Sponsored” by a Club Member in order to register your child for camp. The Sponsoring Member will not be charged in association with Camp EVCC in any way, however, he or she must be aware that you are listing him or her as your Sponsor. This policy allows Edgewood Valley Country Club to ensure that all Non-Members attending camp are associated with a Club Member in some way.

All campers must be at least 4 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle a full day program.

Each day of camp will be a new and exciting experience for our campers as no two days with KE Camps are exactly alike!  Our days begin with Hello Camp, a morning meeting of sorts where, through an assortment of organized activities, campers and staff get to know each other, review the day’s schedule and sing our special camp song! Similarly, we will end our days with Goodbye Camp, a time for wrap-up activities and reflections, SMILE Bands, snacks, and “see you later’s”.   The bulk of camp will be spent participating in a wide variety of activities throughout the day that may include:

For more information on the golf and tennis lessons at camp, please click here.

The club will provide a delicious and kid-friendly lunch for every camper each day. If you would prefer to pack your own lunch for your child, please do so in a cooler or backpack. A snack will be served each afternoon to all campers. We encourage you to pack some extra snacks for your child as well.

Please note that we are a “nut aware” camp.   We ask that you do not pack any food for your child that contains nuts.   Likewise, the lunches and snacks served by the club will not contain any nuts.   If your child has a food allergy and you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.

KE Camps requires all campers to wear our official camp shirt each day of the week. Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Campers should dress in comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. Additional shirts may be purchased at camp. Camp is a place to un-plug! Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack:

Registration for Summer 2020 is open and will continue until we are full.  So, you may add additional weeks as the summer goes on. You must be enrolled in advance, however, in order to attend camp. We are happy to accept online registrations up until the night before the start of each week of camp, provided that space is available.

Full payment is due upon registration.  This includes a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $40 which includes 2 camp t-shirts. We accept American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover.

If your child has special needs or will require extra assistance while at camp, please contact us before you enroll to discuss!

All requests for cancellations or changes must be made in writing to our office via email at info@kecamps.com.  Cancellations made by July 13, 2020 will be refunded in full (less the registration fee).   After that, there are no refunds. We will, however, always offer a credit towards a future week (if space is available) or for next summer.

Here is a run-down of how we will mitigate risk as much as possible at camp this summer:

• New Check-In Procedures that will include a drop-off system whereby parents are not entering our physical camp space, campers are being visually screened for signs of illness, each camper’s temperature will be checked via non-contact thermometer and each camper will sanitize their hands upon entry to camp
• Clear policy asking anyone who has been feeling ill or has been exposed to someone who is ill to remain home from camp – in fact, we ask that you monitor your child over the weekend prior to each week of camp to ensure they are seemingly healthy! Should your child be feeling under the weather in any way, they should not attend camp.
• Program adjustments to allow for as many outdoor activities as possible (even more so than usual!) and physical distanced when possible
• Hand-Washing or Hand-Sanitizing to take place:
  • Upon entry to camp
  • Before and After every snack/meal
  • After activity periods (as deemed appropriate by staff)
  • After using the restroom
  • Before checking-out of camp
• Extra cleaning of camp spaces, surfaces and supplies
• Finally, and most importantly, we will think of our camp as its own unit – within our unit, we will do our best to organize activities to keep physical distancing in place as much as possible. When indoors, we will remain in small groups of no more than 10 campers per group.  However, there are undoubtedly going to be parts of our camp day when campers and staff will end up being less than 6ft apart.  During these times, staff will be wearing a friendly cloth face mask. *Face Mask policy subject to easing as time goes by and certain restrictions are lifted.  Our camp will do our best to keep physical distance from all other personnel/patrons of the club. We are uniquely positioned to do this last part well as our camps are generally quite small in size to begin with.  By sending your child to camp, you are choosing to expose them to this small unit or family for the week.  This is a great thing when it comes to limiting exposure and easily performing contact tracing, if necessary.

Dear Campers and Families,

Welcome to KE Camps at Edgewood Valley Country Club! My name is Alexandra Jacobs, and I am thrilled to be the Camp Director for this inaugural camp year 2020. I look forward to meeting you individually and working with you to create a safe, fun, and exciting summer
camp experience for your child!

Before we meet in person, I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. I am a 5th-8th science teacher, and have the absolute pleasure of introducing children to hands-on science experiments, engineering projects, S.T.E.M., and coding! Encouraging students with creative and engaging learning activities is my passion and forte. In 2011, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with middle school endorsements. Since then, I have taught professionally grades 3rd through 8th for
seven years, and I was a substitute teacher for two years.

This is my first year working with KE Camps, but my past experiences as a camp counselor in high school and college guided me to becoming a teacher. I discovered my love of working with students and seeing their social, emotional, and educational growth while in an engaging environment.

In my spare time, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, and jewelry-making. I love being outdoors, and enjoy white-water rafting, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and playing sports. I am working on my water-skiing.

I look forward to seeing you at camp!!

Sincerely,
Alexandra Jacobs
