2021 PLAN:
Our intention is to have an in-person camp program and we are planning towards that....we will make any necessary changes to the plan according to the CDC recommendations and all government restrictions.
Camp may look different than it did in the past, as we will accommodate all necessary health guidelines including social distancing, masks, COVID testing requirements...The details on these will be decided closer to the camp date and communicated to our registered camp families.
In order to make Camp 2021 a possibility, we need to put the planning hours in, pay deposits etc. and will
-REQUIRE early camper registration--in order to make plans around COVID and camp,
We must know how many campers are intending to attend NO LATER THAN: MARCH 12, 2021
Camp Weekaneatit 2021 will...
-REQUIRE a $150 non refundable deposit made with your camper application,
which will go toward (if we can safely hold):
1. Summer kids camp camper fee OR
2. Summer family camp weekend fee (Family Camp may be an option if it is deemed unsafe for camper group housing vs single family groups staying in separate cabins) OR
3. If we can NOT safely hold either of the above--your non refundable deposit will be converted to a donation to the Georgia Celiac Foundation to help the organization remain functioning into the future.
In April 2021, we will communicate with our registered camper families, an update on our direction. The remaining portion of your camper fee will then be due by April 30, 2021

Camp Weekaneatit FAQs
How are Camp Weekaneatit Staff selected?Camp Weekaneatit relies on the support of volunteers. Volunteering is an awesome experience that is both educational and rewarding. Volunteers are selected via an interview process, background checks and required references. Volunteer selection, training and management is handled by Camp Director, Jill Waddell.
|
Is there on-site medical care?Camp Weekaneatit is equipped with a 24-hour on-site health center, staffed by a professional medical team with the oversight of Dr. Jeff Lewis, our Camp Weekaneatit Medical Director. Careful steps are taken to ensure that campers follow the medical regimen prescribed by their doctors back home.
|
What do campers do all day?The typical camp day starts around 8:00AM and ends at approximately 10:00PM, though bedtimes vary by age. The daily schedule usually includes several activity periods (adventure course, boating, swimming, arts and crafts, team sports, etc.) and an Evening Activity (campfire, Talent Show, Scavenger Hunt, etc.), as well as three gluten free meals, a gluten free snack, a rest hour, and time for showering and clean-up.
