Camp James Information

Camp James is made up off all types of campers and team members. Some are loud and proud, and others shy and reserved. Because of the various activities offered at Camp James, we get a wide variety of different types of people. Make sure your child knows what to expect from camp, specifically that activities are set for them as opposed to self -selected. Families that have children with special needs should contact our office prior to registering to be sure Camp James can make the necessary accommodations. In many cases your child is ready for camp, but you as a parent may not be. You need to feel comfortable that our staff has one goal to achieve and that is keeping your child safe. It is normal to have some hesitation leaving your child to be cared for by others but if you have a strong sense that you must remain on the camp grounds, will need an hourly check in from our office that your child is fine, only allow your child to attend if they can keep their cell phone, or spend your entire day worrying about the welfare of your child, we strongly suggest you wait to enroll your child in camp until you are ready for them to be a camper. Becoming a camper is a rite of passage in a way; it is a chance for your child to show their independence from their family and take on personal responsibilities.
