What is your dismissal policy?

If a child behaves or makes choices in a way that we determine to be potentially harmful to the physical or emotional safety of themselves or others, or engages in a behavior that could be considered unlawful, it is at the camp director’s discretion to remove and dismiss a child from camp. If this should take place, a parent or guardian will be contacted to make arrangements for a child’s return home. Parents will have no more than 2 hours before their child must be off camp premises. Failure to do so could result in the child being turned over to protective services. Removal of a child from camp will be at the parent’s expense, and no rebate or refund of tuition will be given. We hope that no child is dismissed from camp, but we will take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of every child in camp at all times.

Can my child request a group mate?

We will do our best to honor group mate requests as indicated on your campers’ registration. Groups are generally divided by age, with group requests grouped down (i.e. if an 8 year old and 6 year old request to be together they 8 year old would be in a group with other 6 year olds).

What if my camper takes medication?

At Stone Canyon, medications are defined as prescription medications, over the counter medications, topical creams, and supplements.

• A medication form is required for all medications. The medication form can be found here (link to med form). This form is not complete unless it has a signature from a physician and a parent or guardian. If we do not have a completed form for a medication then we cannot administer that medication
• All medications will be turned in on the first day to our camp nurse. You will have an opportunity to speak with the nurse to go over your campers’ medical needs.
• Any leftover medication at the end of the week will be returned at check-out.

We can administer Tylenol and Benadryl at camp as long as you give Stone Canyon permission to administer over the counter medications on the registration form.

How does the camp store work?

Campers have the chance to visit our camp store every day over free time. Here they can purchase Gatorade, snacks, and apparel. All food/drink items are $1-$2, with apparel items priced from $2-$50.

Parents can deposit money into their camper’s accounts online or during camper drop off. We accept cash, credit, or check.

Camp store account money is non-refundable when the campers account is below $5.00. Since these accounts are non-refundable, any remaining fund can be refunded or donated to camp. All donations will be used to support future summer camp tuition assistance.

What items are not allowed at Stone Canyon?

The following items should not be brought to camp: Any food containing nuts, any electronic devices, any kind of weapons, including knives, matches or lighters, any toys or stuffed animals

How does transportation work?

We are still confirming that busing will be available through DCSD Transportation, but assuming it is transportation will be available to/from camp each day. The pick-up/drop-off location will be Douglas County High School, with drop-up from 8:00-8:20am and pick-up from 4:30-4:50pm. All campers are automatically enrolled in transportation unless communicated otherwise.

What does the first day check-in process look like?

When you arrive for check-in, be sure the following documents are with you OR you have uploaded them to your campers’ Active account:

• Immunization Record (completed on the official Colorado immunization form)
• Medication Release Form (only if you are dropping off prescription medications, over the counter medications, and supplements)

What does pick-up look like?

Campers can only be released to parents/guardians and persons listed as an authorized pick-up. Anyone picking up a camper is required to present a photo ID when signing a camper out of camp.

What is a typical day like?

Campers are assigned to groups of ~10 campers by age and participate in 3 activities each day. Transition/break times, lunch, free time, and the large group activity are all camp-wide

How are dietary restrictions and allergies handled?

Our chefs are experienced and work tirelessly to prepare delicious and healthy meals for our campers. We are able to accommodate most food allergies and dietary restrictions, however there are rare cases when we may require a child to bring their own supplemental food that our chefs can prepare. Please be specific as possible when filling out your camper's health form when it comes to allergies. Based on the information provided, our nurse or chef may give you a call to get additional information.

We are a nut-aware facility. Our chefs do not cook with nuts or nut oils, though we may serve items that are processed in facilities where nuts are processed.

What activities are offered?

We offer a wide variety of small and large group activities, including but not limited to: Tie Dye, Dodgeball, Cooking, Gaga, Water Games, Carnival, and much more!

What should my child wear/bring to camp?

We usually have great weather during the summer at Stone Canyon! Your camper should be fine most days in a t-shirt and shorts. Be sure to pack a jacket for if rain moves in! Campers should wear closed toe shoes to camp.

Each day campers should come to camp with a small backpack with a waterbottle, sunscreen, bug spray, and extra layers packed inside! Please do not send your campers with toys/stuffed animals, as we don't want them to get lost.

Please label all of your campers items!
