Yes, please do not send IPods, cell phones, portable video games or other toys. Camp is a place for socializing and many of these things create distractions. They also get lost and broken.

NEW THIS YEAR!!!
Complimentary towels are provided for each camper at every swim.

10. What if my child doesn't know the other campers?

Our professional staff is trained in group dynamics. Each Monday we have new campers arrive at Camp Parkwood and our staff engages campers in welcoming activities. Your child's fun and safety is our #1 priority. Homesickness does occur even at day camp. Our staff is trained to help children adjust to a new environment.

11. What if my child doesn't go on an optional trip?

Optional trips are special days at Camp Parkwood. Schedules are tailored to the interests of the campers who have chosen to stay behind.
