River Club Day Camp

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

You have the option to purchase lunch from the club or bring your own.

If you are not a member of The River Club of Mequon, you must be Sponsored and Accompanied by a Member’s Child in order to enroll.  This means you can only have your child attend camp on the very same days as your Sponsoring Member’s Child. 

For those families enrolling 3 or more siblings in any given week of camp, please use the following discount code at the time of online registration for a 15% Tuition Discount: THREERCM

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.

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:

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.

KE Camps 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:

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 5, 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. 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.

Hello Campers and Families,

My name is Olivia Stutz, and I am your KE Camps Director at The River Club of Mequon. Last year I worked as the Assistant Director, and I am so excited to spend another summer with you!

During the school year, I am an elementary teacher and have experience teaching kindergarten, first grade, and third grade. Last fall, I was also the Varsity Girls Tennis coach at Shorewood High School and two years ago, I had the opportunity to teach English to kindergarten students in Taichung, Taiwan.

I love to travel and experience new adventures. I have traveled to many countries such as places in the Caribbean, London, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, Taiwan, China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. I grew up in Dellwood, Minnesota, and my family consists of my dad, mom, younger sister, two dogs and two cats. For college, I graduated from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. I love to spend summers working at camps and hanging out on the lake. My favorite thing to do on the lake is to ski and wakeboard. One of my hobbies is baking cookies.

As for camp this year, I can’t wait! We have some awesome Wacky Wednesday theme days and special Thankful Thursday projects planned for you. Campers will be earning SMILE Bands for displaying our KE Camps values of Sportsmanship, Mindfulness, Inclusion, Leadership, and Enthusiasm.

We will have so much fun together. I cannot wait to see you at camp!

Sincerely,
Olivia Stutz
