Winter camp is for campers aged 6-12. Once we have all our campers signed up, they will be divided into groups based on age, so you can be assured your child will be placed with an age-appropriate group!
What do campers need to bring?
Once you’re signed up, you’ll get a full packet of info with everything you’ll need to know closer to the start of camp. But basically, enough layers and gear to be appropriately dressed for winter weather and a lunch. We’ll provide all the fun!
What time is camp?
Camp is always held in December, from 9 AM to 4 PM each day. Campers will need to be transported to and from Riveredge at those times each day. Final day overnight option will have a 9am pickup the following morning.
Do I have to sign up ahead of time?
Yes, please! Pre-registration is required and Winter Camp enrollment is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first served basis, so be sure to register as soon as possible!
Any other questions?
We’re happy to help answer them! Give our camp coordinator, Steff Merten, a call at 262-375-2715 or contact her by email at smerten@riveredge.us
Cancellation Policy: Registrations may be cancelled up to 30 days prior to camp to receive a refund of registration fees minus a $50 non-refundable deposit. If you cancel less than 30 days before your week of camp, refunds are only given for medical reasons and family emergencies. These refunds are also subject to the $50 non-refundable deposit.
