2025 Camp Runamuk rotations will consist of arts and crafts, enrichment (STEM-based), and high-energy/water play activities, and specialty activities like cooking, ceramics, baking, dance, engineering, or coding. Each week of camp has a different theme and activities will vary based on those themes. 

* Early Drop Off is an additional charge for the entire week of camp regardless of if you need it for each day. Your child will be with 2-3 of our early arrival counselors doing free play type games with your camper. You will still need to go through our standard check-in process at drop off. We will only accept children as early as 8:15am (no earlier drop-offs allowed). The early drop off charge is $25 per child per week of camp . Should you need an early drop off, you will need to reach out to the Program Director, Sarah Rodriguez, via email prior to that week of camp starting. Please reach her at sarah@cclcf.org should you need an early drop off for your camper. Campers still need to come to camp having already eaten breakfast. Please do not bring breakfast for your camper to eat while at the early drop off.

** Lunch will be extended longer than 30 minutes to ensure we accommodate all campers needing to eat lunch. Since we are taking more campers this summer, we want to ensure we have enough time for all the children to eat their lunches. This time is not concrete. We could end earlier or later based on the campers and go into our closing activities.

Camp FAQs

  1. Have fun!
  2. Golden Rule: Treat others how you would like to be treated
  3. Buddy System
  4. Keep hands and feet to yourself
  5. Listen to staff
  6. No toys or electronics

Camp Counselors will go over the rules daily with the campers. Rules are set in place to help staff focus on making camp a positive environment without the barriers of behavioral issues. Should undesirable behavior persist, the Camp Director will be in contact with the parent/guardian to discuss the necessary steps to be taken following the incident (see Discipline Policy).

  • A refillable water bottle with camper’s name
  • Snack
  • Sack lunch (no perishables as lunches will not be able to be refrigerated)
  • Closed-toed shoes
  • A smile! 😊

Please ensure that your child is being dropped off at camp with sunscreen applied.

  • Toys or electronics
  • Any products containing nuts (we are a nut-free facility)
  • Gum or candy
  • Flip-flops (unless instructed otherwise for water-play activities)
If you have additional questions regarding anything noted above, please contact the Main Office staff at the Community Center. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
 

Sign In/Sign Out procedures will occur during drop off and pick up. Each camper must be signed in and out each day of camp. Campers will be released upon pick up only to those listed as authorized pick-up persons. A valid photo ID MUST be shown at pick-up for the safety of the camper.

We will be conducting staggered drop off.  Last name ends A-J you can drop off at 8:45am.  Last name ends K-Z you can drop off at 9:00am Staggered drop offs help reduce parking lot jams as well as lines at sign-in each day.

Both drop-off and pick-up will be done from our Main Room located inside the Community Center. Staff will monitor Sign In/Sign Out sheets at room entrance. Upon pick-up, the present adult will be asked to show a valid photo ID. This will be cross-referenced to the names on the camper’s file to ensure that they are unauthorized pick-up person. The camper will be released only to those listed upon registration or by request of parent/guardian made directly to Main Office staff.

PLEASE NOTE: Campers are NOT to walk alone to or from the parking lot for drop off or pick up. Please park and walk your child to the main room upon arrival.

Parents of the participant enrolled in Camp Runamuk will be charged $25.00 if their camper stays past 5 minutes of the noted pick-up time (charged for after camp care of the week). If you find yourself running late, please notify the Community Center immediately so we are aware. Late fees will still be charged. If a parent or authorized pick-up person does not arrive or call within 5 minutes past the designated pick-up time, staff will begin to call all authorized pick-up contacts noted during registration. Late fees will be due within two business days. Continual disregard for the pick-up time or failure to pay after camp care fees will result in the child’s termination from camp(s). It is very important to always have updated contact information on your account. Any child who is not picked up will be under the supervision of the CCLCF Office Staff until the parent, authorized pick-up person, or authorities arrive.

  • Cancellations before April 1st, 2025, will receive a refund or credit, minus a $25 non-refundable processing fee per CIT per week.
  • Cancellations made between April 2nd, 2025, and May 1st, 2025, will receive a credit, minus a $50 non-refundable processing fee per CIT per week.
  • No refund or credit will be given for summer camps after May 1st, 2025.
  • Any transfers or changes between weeks of Camp after May 1st, 2025, will incur a $10 processing fee.
  • If the camper cannot attend Camp due to injury or illness, we require a signed doctor’s note for consideration of a refund. This is handled on a situational basis.

For the health and welfare of your child and other campers, we cannot accept children if they are showing symptoms of any and all contactable illnesses. If symptoms of illness appear during the day, the child’s primary emergency contact will be contacted to pick them up.

Camp and Community Center staff are not authorized to hold or support campers to comply with taking needed medication without consent from a parent/guardian. If your child requires medication (prescribed or over the counter) to be taken during the camp day, it is imperative that you submit a Medication Administration Form to the Office staff prior to your child’s first week of camp. Please note that Camp staff are not permitted to administer medication – the child must be able to self-administer. You will obtain an email from our Program Director the week prior to camp starting with the medication administration form. Please fill this out and bring it with you to the first day of camp and discuss with the Program Director at check in

To help ensure the welfare of our staff and campers we have created a discipline policy which will be enforced in response to persistent undesirable behavior. Should a participants’ inability to follow the established behavioral guidelines and expectations hinder the experience of others, the following course of action will be followed:

  1. First incident: No incident report, conversation with program participant and counselor.
  2. Second incident: Written incident report, conversation with program participant and parent/guardian regarding approach to behavioral issues.
  3. Third incident : Written incident report, final reparative conversation from Program Director with program participant and parent/guardian.
  4. Fourth incident: Written incident report, one-day suspension from program and conversation with Executive Director.

Should undesirable behavior further persist, the program participant will be immediately expelled from the program and all upcoming sessions within the program period. Provided that the individual is willing to follow the behavior guidelines and expectations, they are welcome to re-register for programs within the upcoming program period.

Limited funds are available to provide scholarships for program participants at CCLCF. If you wish to be considered for a scholarship, please click here to fill out our Financial Aid form and our Executive Director will review and contact you shortly. We will consider your request in confidence. 

We have paid counselor positions for those age 16 and up. Those under 16 are encouraged to sign up for our Counselor in Training Program (CIT program). This program runs concurrently as Camp Runamuk and is a heavily reduced cost to Camp Runamuk.

Join our CIT program this summer!  Your CIT will be one of possibly 8 CITs on a weekly basis that will go through training during the beginning of camp from 9am-10:30am with our CIT Trainer and become a vital part of our daily rotations with specific duties and responsibilities given to them by their CIT Trainer.  At the end of each day, CITs will meet back up as a group with their CIT Trainer to discuss strengths and challenges from each day, discuss how to handle various camper behaviors, and learn different opening and closing activities. By the end of each week, CITs will have learned the importance of their roles and responsibilities as a CIT and have confidence to demonstrate and conduct our opening and closing activities. The CIT Program is a paid program for each week of camp you want to sign your CIT up for. To register for the CIT program for 2025, please click here to register your CIT.  Should you have any questions about the CIT program, please email our Program Director at sarah@cclcf.org.
