What are your camp hours?
For regular ADC and for Cranked, our camp runs from 9:00am - 4:30pm.
For ADC Leap!, this camp runs from 9:00am - 3:30pm.
What is 'extended care'?
We offer Extended Care for families to drop off and/or pick up their kids outside of the camp hours. Extended care is available from 8:00am - 5:00pm and it costs an additional $40.
Why can't I register my child for more than one week of ADC?
Our camps usually reach full capacity during the summer. To try and give as many kids as we can the opportunity to experience ADC, we limit attendance to only one week.
Why do you cap your weeks?
We are limited to a certain number of campers each week for two reasons.
Firstly, we do outings as part of our week at ADC, so we are limited by how many kids we can transport. Secondly, we have maintain a staff:camper ratio with one staff for every three to four kids to keep everyone safe!
Camp is full and i didn't get in! What can I do now?
Often there end up being a few cancellations so we take wait lists for each week! To have your child(ren) be put on the wait list, you can call the church office (204) 253-8464 or email us!
my child is eligible for different weeks. Can i pick which one they attend?
Yes you can!
Kids entering Grades 1 & 2 are eligible to participate in either ADC or Leap! Likewise, kids entering Grade 6 are eligible to participate in either ADC or Cranked! You can choose which camp they attend based off of friends/siblings or just which camp you think would work best for them!
My child wants to be in a group with their friends. Is that possible?
We typically can ensure that your child is able to be with their friends. We do our best to guarantee ONE friend request per group, but cannot promise more than that. There is a space on the registration form to add a friend request.
What does my child need everyday?
We ask that campers come everyday with a hat, running shoes, packed lunch, a swimsuit & towel. We will include a list of these 'Everyday Items' on your Camper Information Packet that gets sent out one week before your week of ADC!
Can I send nuts to camp with my child?
Adventurers Day Camp is a nut-free program.
Please avoid sending any products containing nuts with your child.
I would like my child to wear a lifejacket while swimming.
Absolutely! You are welcome to send your own lifejacket with your child OR we have some available to borrow! We will ensure that they are wearing it whenever they are in the water.
How do you supervise the children at the beach?
Campers are not allowed to swim deeper than an adults waist. The staff form a boundary around the swim zone to contain the fun. We also swim with the buddy system, do regular head counts and have Certified Lifeguards present.
My child has special dietary concerns. Are there options for them?
Yes! We have snacks available for gluten/dairy free children. Please indicate the need on the registration form and we will work with you to determine what they can/cannot eat with the snacks and meals that we provide.
Can i come on any outings?
Adventurers Day Camp's policy is that parents are not allowed on the field trips. All of our staff have been screened to ensure that ADC has a safe community, and we have an excellent staff:camper ratio. If you have more concerns about your child or your child's safety on field trips, feel free to contact us.
Do you make any media available from my child's week?
For sure! Within a couple days of the camp's end we will send out an email with all of the media. This includes pictures, the weekly camp video, and links to the songs that we sang at ADC!
Do you offer any funding for kids to go to camp?
Yes we do! We have a Camper Assistance Program that provides funding for kids to go to camp, if needed. To apply for this program, or for more information, please visit the 'Financial Aid' page.
