Before and After Camp Care
- Before Care : $35.00 per week

Our Before and After Care program provides extended care for families needing a bit of extra flexibility during camp days. To participate, campers must be enrolled in the same camp days as the Before and/or After Care sessions.
- Before Care begins at 7:30am and runs until the start of the regular camp day at 9:00am. Campers may not be dropped off earlier than 7:30am.
- After Care begins at the end of the camp day at 3:30pm and runs until 5:00pm. Campers must be picked up by 5:00pm to avoid additional fees.
All Before and After Care sessions are held in the Jane Stover Lodge, providing a safe and supervised environment for your child. Please note: late pick-ups will result in an automatic $10 fee being added to your account. If this fee is not paid by the following day, access to camp will be restricted.
Camp Staff
K.I.D.S. Camp is run by a dedicated team, including 1 Director, 1 Supervisor, 1 Assistant Supervisor, 2 Head Counselors, and about 15 Camp Counselors, many of whom are former K.I.D.S. Campers. Our staff members are carefully chosen for their passion for working with children and are trained to provide a safe, fun, and enriching experience for all campers.
Each staff member undergoes a thorough screening process, including criminal background checks, child abuse clearances, and FBI clearances. In addition, all staff are required to complete three training orientations to ensure they are fully prepared for the camp season.
All camp counselors are certified in First Aid and CPR. We are committed to providing high-quality care and a positive, safe environment where your child can thrive and make lasting memories.
