Camp Whitemarsh Valley

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.

Please note that you must be a member of Whitemarsh Valley Country Club to enroll your child in camp. 

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:

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.

Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Campers should dress in comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. 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. 

Full payment is due upon registration.  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.  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.

Dear Campers and Families,

Welcome to the Camp Whitemarsh Valley! We look forward to meeting you and starting the best summer ever. There are a variety of opportunities to have fun this summer and I want to begin by telling you about myself and my experiences. I believe I can provide you with a positive camp experience given my professional background.

My name is Catherine Kennedy and I am the new Director for Camp Whitemarsh Valley. It is my mission to provide you with an enjoyable camp experience. I am a recent graduate of Elizabethtown College with a degree in English Secondary Education and I am currently teaching English Language Arts in the Colonial School District. I am also a former volleyball captain, and coach for players of all ages. I love working with children because I looked up to a handful of brilliant role models throughout my childhood and want to create those same experiences for other children.

My hobbies include reading and writing, participating in athletic events, and engaging in service projects to better the community. Last year was my first summer at Camp Whitemarsh Valley as an Assistant Director. I look forward to taking on this new role and implementing the feedback we received from last summer. I want to give back to the members of Whitemarsh Valley by developing campers’ interests and fostering meaningful connections between campers, families, and staff members. We appreciate all of the kindness and support we received in our first summer, and we are determined to make this summer even better. I am so excited for the summer! We have plans to incorporate a variety of activities, including Wacky Wednesdays and Thankful Thursdays.

We look forward to kicking off our summer with you!

Best Regards,
Catherine Kennedy
