Frequently Asked Questions
Packing for camp marks the start of your camper’s journey toward independence.
Parents should review our detailed Packing List, which outlines everything needed for a great camp experience. Remember that evenings at camp can get chilly, so be sure to bring warm layers and a sleeping bag rated for 40 degrees or lower to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep!

No worries!
Camp GROW is the perfect place to make new friends, as many campers arrive without knowing anyone else. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to ensuring every camper feels welcome and part of the group. Even if you come with friends, you’ll have the opportunity to build lasting friendships with others throughout your time at camp.
If you’re unable to attend camp, please notify the Camp Director as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly. We understand that unexpected situations arise and will do our best to accommodate you.
Campers are not allowed to bring money to camp. We do not have a “snack shack” or “canteen” like some other camps. While we do have a camp store called the Trading Post, campers can only use credits placed in their account by their parents. For campers traveling by air, any money they bring will be securely stored during their time at camp and can be used to purchase items at the store on the last day, provided they have parental permission.
We love celebrating birthdays at camp! Your child’s special day will be celebrated with the “Order of the Oar” ceremony, followed by a lively rendition of “Happy Birthday” sung by the entire camp during dinner, and a special treat for the birthday child and their cabin!
To arrange a birthday celebration, please contact the camp office by phone or email at least two weeks before your camper’s arrival.
Since 2009, Camp GROW has been proud to be recognized as a premier “Destination Camp.” Each season, we are excited to welcome campers and families from across the country and around the world.

We understand that every family’s situation is unique, and we strive to make our Summer Camp accessible to all. We offer sibling discounts and financial assistance programs to support families with multiple children or financial constraints. Please reach out to our team for more information on available options.
If a camp session is marked as “full,” it means all camper spots have been reserved.
If a session is waitlisted, you can still complete the waitlist form as though you are registering your child. However, this does not mean your child is officially registered. If a spot becomes available, we will notify those on the waitlist via email, offering the spot in the order registrations were received, before opening it up to the general public.
The camp application form has a section where you can indicate a cabin/groupmate request. While we can’t guarantee that all requests will be honored, we do our best to pair requested friends together, as long as they are close in age and attending the same session.
If you didn’t include a cabinmate request on the initial registration, please reach out to the office with your request before May 1st.
Yes! Thank you for considering partnering with us to help reduce the barriers preventing a child from attending camp. Your generous donations directly support the operation of our camps and provide opportunities for children who might not otherwise be able to attend. Donations can be made online through our website, in person, by calling our office, or by mailing a check. To donate online, click here.
The cost of a week of camp is approximately $1200-$1500 per camper.
Our Summer Camp is tailored for children aged 8-17 from all over the United States. We’ve curated an array of activities to cater to this age group, ensuring they have an enriching and age-appropriate experience.
