All campers must be at least 5 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle a full day program.
Activities
Each day of camp will be a new and exciting experience for our campers as no two days with KECamps 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.

2 recreational group lessons each week (only 1 for half-day campers)

Thankful Thursdays
We are excited to announce the return of Thankful Thursdays into our camp program! In true camp spirit, every Thursday campers will have the chance to give back to their community by working together on a simple, fun and rewarding community service project. Check out this summer’s Thankful Thursday Calendar!
Lunch & Snacks
You have the option to purchase a kid-friendly lunch provided by the club for $35 per week. If you would like to choose this option, you may do so at the time of enrollment. Otherwise, you are welcome to pack a lunch for your child.
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.
Packing List
KECamps requires all campers to wear our official camp shirt each day of the week. Additional shirts may be purchased at camp. Campers should dress in comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. Camp is a place to un-plug! Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack:
Extra Snacks (Optional)
Flotation Vest:
If you know that your child will be classified as a Bogey (our term for Non-Swimmer) this summer or you prefer your child to be classified this way, please pack a flotation vest for use in the Shallow End of the pool.

Lunch (if not purchasing from the Club)

Registration & Payments
Registration for Summer 2019 will open soon 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!
Cancellations & Refunds
All requests for cancellations or changes must be made in writing to our office via email at info@kecamps.com. Cancellations made before June 9, 2019 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.

Meet Your Camp Director
Dear Campers and Families,
My name is Cory Bauer, and I am the KE Camps Director at River Club of Mequon. This is my fifth year as camp director, and I am ecstatic to spend another summer with your campers!
During the school year, I am a second grade teacher in Oak Creek at Cedar Hills Elementary School. Previously, I taught fourth grade. I have had a wonderful year of reading, exploring, and inventing with my students. I was born and raised in Germantown, Wisconsin. My family consists of my mom, dad, and older sister, Sam. I spend my free time in summer with them at our lake house where my favorite water activity is paddle boarding. I have also grown a huge passion for traveling. So far, I have traveled to England, Ireland, Mexico, and Spain. I am headed to Scotland and France in August!
As for camp this year, keep an eye on our schedule for new, soon-to-be, camp favorites! Every Monday will be Maker’s Monday, when will have time to create anything such as art, games, or inventions! Also, Iron Chef will return with new secret ingredients and there will be many more scavenger hunts! My favorite part about camp is watching friendships blossom. Within minutes at camp, any shyness that campers may have disappears! They are playing, laughing, and are carefree with new and old friends. I hope to provide every camper with this experience and foster the love of summer camp in every young camper!
No two days at camp are exactly the same and I cannot wait to see you this summer!
Sincerely,
Cory Bauer
