TUITION PAYMENTS – A $500 deposit is required upon enrollment for each individual session. The deposit is applied to the total tuition. $250 of this amount is a nonrefundable registration fee. A second payment of $500 for each individual session is due February 1, 2012. Full tuition payment is due by April 1, 2012. Payment may be made by credit card or check.
DISCOUNTS – A 5% sibling discount can be applied for additional children in the immediate family. Pay tuition in full by December 1, 2011 for a 5% tuition discount.
HEALTH FORMS – Campers are required to have a physical examination within 12 months of their arrival to Camp. Camper health forms are online through CampInTouch.
The health forms are located in the Forms Dashboard under Forms and Documents. The following health forms are required:
- Health History Form - an online form to complete. The more information we have, the better able we are to care for your daughter.
- Physician’s Authorization - bar coded pdf form to print, complete and faxback. Must be signed by examining physician.
- Immunization Form - bar coded pdf form to print, complete and faxback. This form should be completed by your child’s Physician's office. If the office provides you with a preprinted copy of your child’s current immunization information, you may use the bar coded form as a cover sheet to the record provided by your child’s Physician’s office.
- Parent Authorization Form - A bar coded pdf form to print, complete and faxback. This form provides us with a copy of your insurance card and your signature authorizing us to care for your child.
The pdf forms are individually bar coded specific to your daughter. When the forms are completed and faxed to Camp, they will be automatically stored in your daughter’s file. Fax the forms to 1-888-256-6889. Please DO NOT use a cover sheet. The pdf forms contain a barcode at the bottom of the form which is specific to your daughter. If a cover sheet is used, the system is unable to recognize who the form belongs to. Health forms should be completed as soon as possible and NO LATER than 6 weeks prior to arrival at Camp.
All medication is kept in our infirmary. All medication must be in the original container with instructions on the container and will be dispensed according to the physician's orders. Please do not bring homeopathic medication or vitamins. Please complete the Medication section on the Health History Form.
ARRIVAL INFORMATION – Campers arrive on Sunday between 10:30am and 1:00 pm. Arrival information emails are sent several days prior to your daughter’s Opening Day. Therefore, it is important that we have an email address for each camper’s family. If you are not bringing your daughter to camp, please notify us so that we may have you complete any additional required forms.
DEPARTURE INFORMATION - Departure is on Saturday between 10:00 am and 12 noon. If you have arranged for another family to bring your daughter home from camp, please complete the Parents Permission Form and fax to our office before your daughter’s departure.
TRANSPORTATION – If your daughter will be traveling alone to or from Camp by air, please complete the online Camper Travel Form as soon as possible and NO LATER than 4 weeks prior to her arrival. Please be sure to book your child as an unaccompanied minor allowing Camp personnel to escort your child through security at the airport. Camp provides transportation to and from Dulles and Reagan National Airports accompanied by a camp counselor and a camp driver. There is a fee for this service. Arrival times should be between 11am and 4pm. Departure times should be between noon and 5pm.
PACKING LIST – Camper packing lists are available on the Parents Page of our website and the Forms page of CampInTouch. There is a packing list for General Camp, Riding Camp, and Mini Camp. The packing list is appropriate for any length of stay. We provide laundry service once per two week session. Please use a footlocker no higher than 14”. www.everythingsummercamp.com has an excellent selection of camp appropriate trunks.
RIDING ATTIRE: All campers attending General Camp and Riding Camp must bring their own riding helmet and riding shoes. The riding hat must fit well and bear the seal of the Safety Equipment Institute ASTM-SEI. It is best to have the helmet fitted at a local equestrian shop. If you don’t have a local shop, you can call Dover Saddlery, phone 302-234-8047 and ask for Colleen, website: www.doversaddlery.com. The shoes should be designed for horseback riding and can either be boots or tie shoes with a defined heel. The heel should be no higher than one inch. Sneakers and hiking boots are not acceptable for riding. Campers may ride in jeans or any long pants. Tank tops are not permitted for riding-a shirt that covers the shoulders must be worn.
CAMPER MAIL–
Send all mail (USPS, FedEx and UPS) to: Camp Rim Rock, 343 Camp Rim Rock Road, Yellow Spring, WV 26865. You will be told your daughter’s unit on Opening Day. Include her full name and unit on all mail you send.
Emails: Emails can be sent through CampInTouch. We do not accept camper emails to our office email account. Campers do not have the ability to send emails.
Packages cannot contain FOOD. If you send a package, please make it small in size and limit it to one package per session.
Please help us by alerting relatives and friends of our no food policy.
CAMP RULES/POLICIES – Cell phones, video players, electronics requiring an electrical outlet and weapons of any kind are prohibited. We discourage you from bringing valuable personal items to camp. Camp is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. No PETS of any kind are allowed at camp at any time, including Opening and Closing Days. Camp Rim Rock is a drug free, smoke free and alcohol free camp.
VISITS AND TELEPHONE CALLS – Visits are usually a problem both for your daughter and her cabin mates. We do not have a visiting day. Phone calls get in the way of your daughter’s adjustment to camp. If you need to find out how your daughter is adjusting, call the office at 347-RIM-ROCK, and we will arrange a convenient time for a director to return your call.
TRADING POST – Each camper has an account in the Trading Post (camp store). This allowance is billed with the tuition. A $60 allowance is billed for a 1-2 week session and $90 for multiple sessions. Campers visit the camp store twice weekly. Parents have an opportunity to visit the camp store with their daughters on Opening and Closing Days. Items available are toiletries, stamps/stationery, batteries, snacks, small souvenirs and camp clothing. Any remaining balance is refunded after the end of the camp season.
BUNK ASSIGNMENTS – If your daughter has one or two friends of the same age and grade with whom she would like to have as bunk mates, we will gladly consider your requests, although we can make no definite commitments.
We will do our best to see that your daughter has a happy and memorable summer!
