What are the age groups for the campers?

We have three age groups. Your campers age group is determined by the grade they have completed prior to June 10, 2013. 

• Voyagers are children who have completed kindergarten through 1st grade.
• Trailblazers are children who have completed 2nd grade through 3rd grade.
• Pathfinders are children who have completed 4th grade through 5th grade.

 

 I have a camper who is a sibling of a returning camper, when do I register that sibling?

Siblings of returning campers can register on the same date as the returning camper. Returning campers and sibling may register online beginning March 14, 2013 starting at 9:00 a.m. Siblings will be able to register with the R number of the returning camper, if they already do not have one assigned. To retrieve your returning campers R-number click here.

 

Can I register prior to the published registration date?

The system is blocked from receiving registrations prior to the published date and time. Attempting to register prior to the published time will delay your registration process. ** Please note that the registration web site is best accessed using Internet Explorer.

How does the online registration process work?

Select the courses your camper would like to attend. Make sure you choose two alternate courses per time slot. This will expedite the registration process. Visit the Summer Day Camp Web site on the appropriate date and click on the Registration Information link. If you are registering a returning camper you will need your campers Rollins identification number (R-number).  Courses will be removed as they are filled to capacity.

 

How do I register in person?

Registration is easy and is done online (see the How to Register page). If you wish to register in person please contact Meg Kuecker at mkuecker@rollins.edu or 407-646-2576 to set up an appointment. Rollins Summer Camp Administration Offices are located at 422 W. Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789.

 

How many courses can my camper take?

Four classes are required. Additional options may be added to extend the camp day.

Will my camper receive first choice courses?

Course registration is first come, first served. Please have alternate classes selected prior to registration. If a course your camper would like to take is full, your camper will be waitlisted and if a spot becomes open you camper will automatically be enrolled in that class and a confirmation will be sent to your email address.

How do I get on a wait list for a course?

If a course your camper would like to take is full, your camper will be waitlisted and if a spot becomes open you camper will automatically be enrolled in that class and a confirmation will be sent to your email address.

Do you offer before or after care?

What is the camper to staff (teacher and counselor) ratio?

The average ratio is 16 to 1.

 

Can my camper bring lunch?

Lunch is included in the cost of tuition; however, your child is welcome to bring his/her own lunch and healthy snacks.

 

Will my camper have a locker?

The College does not supply lockers. Backpacks are the perfect accessory for your camper. However, we do ask parents to make sure that the backpacks are not over loaded or too heavy for the camper.

 

Can I visit my camper during the day?

Yes, you may visit your camper anytime during camp; there is no specific parent's day. You must check in at Camp Base located in Hooker Hall to receive a visitor badge and you will be informed of your camper's location at that time. You must check-out at Camp Base prior to leaving. Please do not take your camper home without signing out at Camp Base.
