Frequently Asked Questions

Is Summer Camp happening this summer? (updated 8/18/22)

Yes, we will be having summer day camp in the Summer of 2023!

How will you maintain the health of the campers? (updated 8/18/2022)

The health of our campers and staff is always an important part of a successful summer camp.  We had very few cases of Covid 19 in the Summer of 2022 and we are hoping for even fewer in 2023. As always, we thoroughly clean cabins between sessions and encourage the practice of good hygiene in our campers.

Is it safe at camp? (updated 8/18/2022)

 Yes!  The safety of our campers, camper families, and staff is our number one priority. The world can be a scary place, but we want Camp to be a place you can trust. Please visit our safety page to review our safety measures.

Does my child have to attend IDEA to come to this Camp? (updated 8/18/2022)

No! All children are welcome to experience Camp RIO. We are open to all children ages 5-14 from any school district.  We want all kids to come have fun at camp!

Can I drop my child off at Day Camp? (updated 8/18/2022)

 Yes! Please see our Parent Drop Off and Pick Up page for summer 2023 instructions.     

How will you keep my child safe? (updated 8/18/2022)

 Our staff is trained and certified in every activity we offer as well as First Aid and CPR certified. We have a Camp Health Aide who will attend to any medical needs that arise as well as administer medications that you send. We will ensure that your child gets plenty of water while they are here, and will encourage them to eat so they have the energy they will need. In addition, we have a child protection plan in place to ensure that Camp RIO is a healthy, safe place for your child to thrive!  

Are you feeding my child? (updated 8/18/2022)

 Yes! We will feed them breakfast and lunch while they are here at camp. We will also give them a snack in the afternoon.  

Who will take care of my child while they attend camp? (Updated 8/18/2022)

 Qualified adult college students who are first-aid certified and trained in the camp activities they facilitate will supervise your campers throughout the day. The ratio of adults to campers is approximately 1 to 4.  

Is this an overnight camp? (updated 8/18/2022)

 Yes! We offer overnight summer camp.   See our Summer Overnight Camp page for more details. 

What will the campers eat? (updated 8/18/2022)

Camp RIO will provide Breakfast and Lunch to children who attend Day Camp. Click HERE to see the menu. If you would like to pack a lunch for your child, you are welcome to do so.  

What if my child takes medications? (updated 8/18/2022)

Medications will need to be sent with your camper every day for day camp. You will need to hand them to the camp staff member during drop-off (or the bus driver) and they will be checked-in with our camp health aid upon arrival. Medications will be returned through the camp staff/bus drivers during pick-up at the end of the day.  A medication administration form must be filled out and included with any medication sent. 

What activities will my child do? (updated 8/18/2022)

 Campers will participate in similar activities as previous years.  The activities that we generally offer are archery, tomahawks, riflery, arts & crafts, fishing, canoeing, swimming, survival skills, sports, and games. We also offer additional activities based on the unique skills of the staff we hire.  Every year is a little bit different.  Come and see what this year might offer!

How long will my child be at camp every day? (updated 8/18/2022)

  Drop-off starts at 7:45 am and campers will need to be picked up no later than 4:00 pm. 

What does my child need to take to camp every day? (updated 8/18/2022

 Use this packing list to send your camper with the essentials for day camp.
