What To Expect

Our programing staff, deans, and counselors ensure that each week is unique and filled with games, creative activities, bonding, and spiritual growth. We understand that attending camp makes lifelong memories and we take pride in being apart of those memories for so many people!

While this year has unique hurdles, we are excited about the 2023 camp season! Below you can find out what a typical day looks like for each camp, and the necessary COVID protocols we have put in place. If you have any questions about the Laurel Ridge camp experience, please contact Scarlett Dowdy, Program Manager.

What will in-person camp look like this year with COVID and Other contagious Illnesses??

Medical Update for 2023 Camps,

 

The staff and medical volunteers of Laurel Ridge are excited to announce that routine COVID-19 testing prior to camp is not going to be required at this time. However, there are still multiple illnesses that could impact campers and staff. We ask that you (parent/guardian) and the camper read and sign the below attestation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact summer camp Program Manager, Scarlett Dowdy, and she will consult with the medical volunteers to answer your questions to the best of our ability. This form must be read and signed in the 24 hours prior to arriving at Laurel Ridge.  We trust that with your help we can have a successful and healthy camp this year.

 

If your camper has been diagnosed or exposed to any contagious illness within 10 days of the start of your camp, we ask that you contact summer camp Program Manager, Scarlett Dowdy, immediately, so we can work with you to determine the best plan for your child. 

 

Any part of this update is subject to change at any point during the year.

 

I attest that my child, or I as the camper, have not been diagnosed or exposed to any contagious illness that I have not reported to Laurel Ridge Staff, in the last 10 days. This includes but is not limited to influenza, mononucleosis, GI illness of any sort, strep throat, COVID-19, etc…
