One-week sessions include an opportunity to try camp activities. Activities are scheduled by cabin group and camp is focused on the cabin group. One-week sessions are an introduction to resident camp and are open to campers currently in 1st through 9th grades.

Two-week sessions are our most popular session length. In addition to the group centered activities of a one-week session, two-week sessions give campers more choices in their second-week activities. Campers currently in 5th grade and older choose an out of camp overnight. Younger campers take over camp for their own special activities while the older campers are gone.  All campers choose their daily activities during the second week. Each two-week session concludes with the camp dance, awards banquet, and closing campfire. Two-week sessions are open to campers currently in 2nd through 9th grades.

Four-week sessions combine the sessions listed above. Four-week campers include a trip to Avalon in place of one of their overnights. Four-week sessions include an extra discount that will be applied after registration.

WITHDRAWAL

It is understood that Catalina Island Camps has a limited enrollment in each session with fixed and consistent operating costs. Because of these limitations, no refund or reduction for tuition will be made for the withdrawal of a camper, his/her late arrival or early departure.

ILLNESS

Should a camper become ill or injured during his/her stay and be required by the directors to return home, then at the sole discretion of the camp administration, the parent/guardian shall receive up to one-half (1/2) of the remaining tuition in the form of a credit on account or a cash refund.

DISMISSAL

Catalina Island Camps reserves the right to dismiss a camper whose conduct or influence is unsatisfactory or, in the opinion of the directors, not in the best interest of the camp. In the event of such a dismissal, no refund or credit will be made. Possession of tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs or weapons is grounds for immediate dismissal from camp.

AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION

Catalina Island Camps require all campers who fly without an adult and are part of our pick up and drop off service at Los Angeles International Airport to use the CIC travel agent to book their flights. There is a $100 charge for Airport Transportation service which includes the travel agent fee. If you have questions about your travel arrangements contact the office (626) 296-4040.

HEALTH

Catalina Island Camps require that all campers have a physical exam within 12 months of attending camp. The health history is collected online in the spring. We will contact you with more information at that time. The Doctors Form will be provided. A new Doctors Form is required each year. This form must be completed and signed by both the child’s parent/guardian and physician. It is understood that, unless otherwise indicated, your child is in good health and may actively participate in all camp activities. This form must be returned to the camp office by May 1.

ACTIVITIES

Vigorous outdoor and recreational activities are integral parts of the camp program. Any physical activity has hazards, but the camp administration believes that with supervision and instruction, the benefits outweigh hazards. The camp establishes minimum standards of participation for each activity. No camper is forced to participate; however, all campers are expected to meet the minimum standard at each activity. If you have any questions or need more information about any of these programs, please contact our office.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION

We rely on a completed enrollment application for your child’s safety and well being. If any information about your child should change after registration, please notify the camp immediately in writing. In the event that a parent/guardian is traveling during a camp session, the camp will need an alternate emergency contact that will be available during the camp session.
