To ensure the best possible experience for allconcerned, children must maintain their normalmedication patterns while at camp or, if changing, must have any behavior-affecting medications adjusted by their physician and in effect at least four weeks prior to coming to camp. All prescription medications, over the counter medications, as well as vitamins/supplements must be turned in at the time of check-in and will be dispensed by health services staff according to prescription directions. Please do not bring over the counter medication unless your child is on a regular schedule of taking these. If a need arises for an over the counter medication for your camper, it will be dispensed by Camp Joy’s health Services Staff from our medical supplies. If your child uses a rescue inhaler and/or Epipen, please make sure your child brings it! Your child will keep it with them!

Camp Joy asks that the children do not come with cellphones, smart watches, tablets, etc. Parents are welcome to call the office any time, and children are allowed to call home if necessary.

If you are planning to be away from home during your child’s stay at Camp Joy, please make sure our office has clear information about how to reach you in case of an emergency. In the event of an emergency situation, to relay an urgent message to your child, please call the main office at 262-473-3132.

In the best interest of all concerned, and to promote a good camp atmosphere, any camper whose behavior is, in the judgment of the camp leadership, disruptive or unruly will have their par-ents notified and could be sent home.

Upon picking up your camper they will need to be signed out by a parent or guardian with their camper’s counselor. If someone other than a parent or guardian will be picking up your camper, you can call us at 262-473-3132.

If you have not completed your camper’s medical form during registration or sent it in, please present it completed at “check in” on the first day of camp.

WANT CAMP TO DO?WHAT DO YOU

- YOUTH -

- PARENTS -

- LEADERS -

What are we going to do? is the question you ask most. We work to have a great program with plenty of free time for you to choose your favorite things to do. Many young people actually forget the things left at home once they get into the swing of a Camp Joy summer week.

Safety, knowledgeable staff, and cost are import-ant to you. That is why we have comprehensive safety programs including a proactive tick / Lyme disease prevention program. If you need help with camp costs email our director at john.moore@campjoy.org. He is pretty good at getting help for those who need it. We have two full-time staff whose unique job is to mentor, disciple, andconstantly help the counselors who are taking care of your kids. This is a quality commitment unique to Camp Joy.

Camp Joy is all about the spiritual impact. Camp Joy is adding new spiritual impact programs (three in 2020, two in 2021, and one more in 2022). We have listened, observed, and are ready to do moreincluding more things for campers to take home (and hopefully keep impacting them after the summer week is over).
