Day Camp

List of 10 frequently asked questions.

• What COVID-19 precautions are in place?

  At this time we are not requiring vaccinations as a prerequisite for attending Brimmer Summer Camp. However, as we get closer to the summer and continue to learn more about COVID-19’s impact on summer 2022, this may change. We will continue to work with Brimmer’s COVID Response Team to ensure that Brimmer remains a safe and healthy place for all, and will keep families updated about COVID related policies and requirements (including masking and distancing requirements).

• Are there Extended Day Options?

  Yes, for pre-registered campers, Extended Day is available mornings from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m. (Monday-Friday) and afternoons from 4 - 5:30 p.m. (Monday - Friday). Afternoon Extended Day is not available for Half-Day campers.

• What time is Drop-Off and Pick-Up?

  Morning Drop-Off begins at 8:30 am in front of the Chase Building. A counselor or specialist will meet each car and walk each camper to his/her assigned group.
  
  Afternoon Pick-up begins at 4:00 p.m. on Devon Road. A counselor or specialist will escort each camper to his/her car.

• How is the staff selected?

  All Brimmer Summer staff must go through an extensive application and screening process that includes a written application, a personal interview, three references, and checks with both the Criminal Offender Registry and the Sex Offender Registry. All staff also complete a thorough training prior to camp, including: rules and regulations, safety, emergency action plans, first aid, strategies for working with children, diversity, and customer service.

• Does my child need to be toilet trained?

  Yes, all campers must be toilet trained before the summer begins.

• Do you provide lunch and snack?

  Brimmer Camp provides an afternoon snack for our full-day program. We ask that campers come to camp each day with a lunch, a morning snack, and a beverage. 
  
  A water bottle is highly encouraged so that campers can easily stay hydrated! Water stations are set up around camp.

• Is the camp peanut-free?

  Brimmer Camp is Nut Safe. As a result of the growing number of campers with severe peanut/tree nut allergies, we are asking all camp families and staff to refrain from bringing peanut/tree nut products to camp. All camp staff have been trained in food allergies and advised of any food restrictions in their group. Counselors are present while campers are eating and no food may be shared during lunch.

• Is there a nurse available all day?

  Yes, we have a nurse on staff and on campus each day from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The nurse handles all minor health-care needs (cuts, scrapes, stomach aches, etc.) and dispenses medication. The nurse is available during camp hours to answer any questions or concerns. 
  
  Prior to registering, feel free to call the Summer Camp Office to discuss your child's specific needs, any concerns you may have, and to find out if our camp is an appropriate placement. 
  

• Is Financial Aid available?

  Not at this time.

• Do you offer sibling discounts?

  Yes, a 5% sibling discount is offered to families registering more than one camper for six or more weeks of camp. The discount is applied to the lowest priced tuition. Extended day is not included.
