To help prevent the spread of illness, please keep your child at home if they show signs of sickness or have been diagnosed with a contagious condition. If your camper has had a fever within 24 hours of check-in, please contact the Office Manager.

At Camp Monroe, we prioritize camper health and safety. Our staff is trained in safety protocols, basic first aid, and accident prevention. Certified, licensed nurses are on-site during each camp session to handle injuries, administer over-the-counter medications, and manage any prescribed medications brought by campers.

To keep campers hydrated, water stations are placed throughout the camp, and regular water breaks are scheduled.

For lake activities, certified lifeguards are present at all times. Camp staff also supervise campers in the lake and pool areas. All campers must pass a swim test at the start of the week to determine if a lifejacket is necessary for pool activities. Regardless of swimming ability, campers wear life jackets while in or near the lake, and also if any all camp group activity is played at the pool.

If registering for multiple sessions, only one deposit is needed. Deposits are forfeited for cancellations unless due to a medical reason, in which case the deposit will be credited to the family account.

All credits, whether for medical reasons or other, must be applied to a registration by the end of the calendar year; otherwise, they will be forfeited.

Payments: Full payment is required for all registrations before the camp start date.

Cancellations and Transfers: Outside of government-mandated shutdowns, our cancellation policy is as follows:

Less than 14 Days Notice: Cancellations or transfers within 14 days of the camp start date will result in the forfeiture of all funds.

30+ Days Notice: Cancellations made more than 30 days before the camp start date will receive a refund for any amount paid beyond the deposit (if requested).

15-29 Days Notice: Cancellations made between 15 and 29 days before the camp start date will receive a credit for the amount paid beyond the deposit and registration fee.

Early Pick Up: If you need to pick up your camper early, make arrangements at least 24 hours prior by calling the office at (910) 276-1654. Failure to do so will likely result in a longer wait as your camper will be involved in activities.

Absences: Camper fees are not refundable and non-transferable for absences. Contact the camp office if your camper is absent due to a medical reason.

Absences may include any hours missed due to:

• hesitant or unsure about attending camp
• late arrival or early pick up for any reason
• missing camp due to inclement weather
• being sent home because of behavioral issues

With camper safety in mind, and needing to maintain focus on our program, we must limit the people who are on the property and in the facilities. Therefore, visitors are not allowed during camp. You can call to check on your camper; but rest assured, if you have not heard from us, they are doing great! Campers will not be able to call home. If there are any health or behavioral issues a camp nurse or director will contact you.

In the case there is a family emergency while at camp:

• Emergency Contact Information:
  • During office hours (M-F, 8am-5pm), call the main office at (910) 276-1654 for urgent matters or to pick up your camper. Our Guest Relations team will assist promptly.
  • After hours, email our Office Manager at office@monroecamp.org with “EMERGENCY” in the subject line. This will alert the Camp Director immediately. Use this only for urgent issues that can’t wait until business hours.
• Non-Emergency Contact:
  • For non-urgent matters, call (910) 276-1654 or email Office@MonroeCamp.org during office hours. Please note that personal calls to campers cannot be directed during camp activities. Rest assured, if any issues arise, the camp director will contact you right away.

In the event of severe or threatening weather, Camp Monroe staff will take all necessary precautions to ensure camper safety. If the weather is not severe, activities will continue indoors with possible adjustments. We have multiple programming adjustments that our staff will put into place if there is severe weather. Parents are welcome to decide whether to send their children to camp if adverse weather is forecasted, but please note that refunds are not available
