Summer Camps FAQ

Every day, campers should bring a swimsuit, towel, running shoes, sunscreen, and a water bottle. Do not send your child in sandals, crocs, or heels. For a complete packing list, please see page 6 of the Parent Information Guide. Please label all clothing and belongings. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity if not claimed by October 1st.

Please do not pack trading cards, video games, cell phones, tablets, or any valuable items. Campers should leave all valuables at home as Lancer Summer Camps are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. Please do not send your child in sandals, crocs, or heels.

The Lancer Summer Camp waiver form will be sent to your email the week before your registered week of camp. This must be completed and submitted on the first day of camp. If it is not completed, we will ask you to complete this form before signing in with your child on Monday morning.
