Summer Camp Info

Attendance

FREE Extended Supervision: 8:15a-9:30a and 4:15p-5:30p. UMDGC staff will supervise campers while they play card and board games, watch a G- or age-appropriate PG-rated movie, watch child-appropriate TV programming, relax, or bring their own activity.
Sign-In: All campers must check-in at sign-in tent (or front desk during inclement weather) each day; parents do not have to come in if a UMDGC Waiver Form has previously been completed since the previous September 1 in iClassPro.
Sign-Out: An adult must sign-out the camper. $5 per carload will be charged for each 5-minute period. If the fee is not paid at the time of pick-up, a $10 fee per five minutes late will be charged to your account and you will be unable to register for additional programs until the fee is paid.

Afternoon Activities

To keep the day interesting and fun, UMDGC provides non-team campers the opportunity to experience activities in addition to those listed in their main camp type. The activities change, so not every camper will do every activity each day or week. Activities may include:

Movie Time

Slime Making
Circus Arts
Dance
Moonbounces
Arts & Crafts

Bingo
Water Activities

UMDGC will provide campers two 30-minute breaks for lunches and snacks. UMDGC does not supply food, drinks, utensils, refrigerators, or microwaves. UMDGC staff will only enforce eating plans or eating expectations that are supplied by a health care professional. Please no glass containers.

All other items will be discarded or donated to charity within 12 hours. If you find that you left something accidentally, immediately email frontdesk@umdgc.com or leave a voicemail at 610-731-0022 so that the staff can set it aside for you for up to one week.

Campers must remain with their group at all times when in the gym and studios.
Notify a staff member immediately of all injuries or problems.
Gum, food, and drinks other than water are prohibited in the studios and gym.
Campers are expected to participate in all activities or must sit in the lobby for the remainder of the rotation.
Campers are expected to behave in an appropriate manner and show respect to others.

UMDGC is not responsible for damaged, stolen, lost, or misplaced property and money. Bring at your own risk and keep in your bag or check it in at the front desk.
Proper attire is essential for the safety of the camper and staff.
Anyone not dressed correctly will not be permitted to participate.

Groups

Groups within each camp type are split by level, gender, and/or age. Requests to be grouped with a friend or family member will likely not be able to be honored unless the participants are of the same level, have similar skills mastered, gender, and age. If it is possible to accommodate a request, the higher-level participant will be moved down to the lower-level group. To request a special grouping, you must email camps@umdgc.com a minimum of 72 hours prior to the first day of camp.
