euently Asked Questions
What week should we choose?
Whatever week is most convenient for your camper and his/her friends! Since your camper helps to design their own camp experience by picking activities, every week is jam-packed full of excitement, growth and crazy experiences. You can’t go wrong with a week at Camp Aldersgate.
What will my child eat?
Aldersgate provides campers with a healthy balanced meal by providing a variety of home-cooked, kid-friendly meals. Our food is always prepared fresh and never frozen. There are always options for picky eaters as each breakfast is served with a breakfast bar (bagels, cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc) and each lunch and supper include an extensive salad bar. Tasty desserts are served once a day with supper.
Who is taking care of my child?
Staff members, paid and volunteer, are carefully screened and selected, benefit from two weeks of training, and are led by a year-round staff with 25+ years of camp & retreat ministry experience. The staff is comprised of college students, adults of all ages, and junior staff assistants ages 15-17 with close supervision.
How does health care work?
Health care is provided through the health director and Registered Nurse and all staff have training in their health care responsibilities. Staff follows Camp Doctor’s standing orders for minor illness & injury, including first aid and over the counter medications.
Where will my child live?
Our youngest campers each week (typically 1st-5th Graders) live in the Lodge or Cottage with a cozy home-like feel including bathrooms on the hall. Our oldest campers each week (typically 6th-12th Graders) enjoy a traditional camp experience living in one of our cabins, complete with attached porch and bathrooms nearby.
How do I know what to bring to camp?
A complete list is sent with your confirmation packet when you register and is available on the parent page.
Medical, Behavioral, Dietary and Social/Emotional Needs at Aldersgate
Aldersgate is able to accommodate many special needs but not all. Our goal is to provide an excellent experience for every camper. We best meet this goal when we have a plan in place ahead of a camper’s arrival. Please call or email camp before registering to discuss your camper’s needs.
