Dear Parents of Calvary Campers:

Here is important information regarding Camp Calvary. Please keep all of this material for future reference.

1. Camp Calvary is primarily a Summer Religious Education Program held at Our Lady of Calvary gym and parish facilities from July 9th to July 27th (9:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. each day.) Daily prayer, religion lessons, and weekly Mass are the heart of the camp.

2. Campers are assigned to groups to facilitate rostering them for each day’s activities.

Group A – Pre-K & Kindergarten Girls Group C – Girls in Grades 1 & 2 Group E – Girls in Grades 3, 4, & 5

Group B – Pre-K & Kindergarten Boys Group D – Boys in Grades 1 & 2 Group F – Boys in Grades 3, 4, & 5

3. Each of the above groups is further divided into smaller groups of six or so children who are entrusted to a counselor and one or two junior counselors. There will also be adult moderators for the various activities.

4. The Camp Staff will have an orientation before the beginning of camp. At that time counselors will receive their lists of children and prepare to meet you on the first day of camp to introduce themselves and get acquainted with you. Junior Counselors (students going into Grade 6) and Counselors (students going into grades 8 through 12) assist the adult activity moderators.

5. Campers report to OLC gym daily by 9:00 A.M. They assemble in their designated group area with their counselors. Please refer to the daily schedule/roster for time adjustments on field trip days. Children should not come to camp sooner than 8:45 A.M. because there will not be adequate supervision. Children bringing bikes must have locks on them to secure them to the metal bars outside the gym.

6. A daily snack will be provided each day.

7. Camp Calvary T-Shirts may be worn on any camp day but especially on Friday, which is a special camp day that begins with Mass and is followed special activities to close out the week. Camp attire should be casual, comfortable, and safe. Sneakers are preferred to flip-flops or sandals.

8 Weekly tuition is $50 for 1 child, $80 for 2 children, and $100 for 3 or more children.
Tuition may be paid the first day of camp and tuition for the remaining weeks may be brought to the gym on the first day of the week(s) the campers attend. Please be sure to mark any envelopes handed in with your child’s name clearly on the front. Campers may attend one, two, or all three weeks of camp.

9. Those parents who wish to volunteer for our “On-Site Amusements” Wednesdays or special activities on Fridays after Mass, may do so on the registration form.

If there are any questions about any of the above, or difficulties during camp, just give me a call at the school office. (215-637-1648) Your input is valued. Also, any schedule adjustments can be found on the school website: olcalvaryschool.org.  Take care and have a pleasant and relaxing summer!
