Policies

 

Visiting Camp: We do not allow parent visits during the camp season. For the safety of our campers, parents and visitors are not permitted on any of the Cedarbrook Day Camp's facilities during normal camp hours. You can contact us to schedule a personal tour on off camp hours. Parent's are allowed on campus for emergency purposes only - such as an ill or injured camper.

 

Days Missed: Days missed due to injury, illness or any other reason may not be “made up” and will not result in a credit or refund. In case of severe weather, Camp may be cancelled.  There will be no refund for the canceled camp days, however a credit will be applied to your account for future camp purchases.

 

Signing Out Campers: No one may take a camper out of camp without signing that child out at the Camp Office. Any adult picking up a camper must be on the "Authorized Pick-Up List" we ask you to create at the time of the child’s application. Early pick-up can occur anytime during the day until 3:00pm.

We Discourage Early Pick-up between 3:00 and 4:00pm. During this time, campers are in the transitioning process;  starting/ending activities, changing rooms/locations, participating in end-of-day wrap-up, etc., making it difficult to gather individual campers for dismissal after 3:00 pm. Except for emergencies, camp staff may not be available to gather campers for last minute, unplanned early dismissal. If, however, you must collect your camper during this time, be advised that there may be an extended wait time.

 

Medical Forms: The New Jersey State Youth Camp Safety Act and the American Camp Association require every camper to have an up-to-date medical form signed by a physician. Medical forms for the 2025 season are due to camp by May 15, 2025. Your child does not need a doctor’s exam just for this purpose. The doctor can fill out our form based on any physical done any time after May 15, 2024.  A parent/guardian must authorize Cedarbrook Day Camp to treat your child if he or she is sick or injured at Camp.

 

Tipping: If you would like to tip your child's counselor, we ask that you delay gift giving until your campers enrollment has ended.

 

Birthdays during Camp: No food from home is allowed for camper birthdays, but you may send in goody bags with non-edible items.
