What kind of activities will my child be participating in?
Here is a list of summer camp activities available to each age level. We cannot guarantee that every activity will be available each week.
What should I send to camp with my child?
**Be sure to label everything with your camper’s first and last name.**
Water Bottle-Campers will be outside all day, so a water bottle is a must! The camp has many water fountains so that campers can refill their water bottles.
Clothing-If the weather is willing, we will swim every day. Please wear a swimsuit and bring a fresh towel every day. Please also send a change of clothes with your child for after the pool. When picking clothes to send with your camper, take into consideration the weather forecast and the camp activities. Camp activities continue rain or shine, so on rainy days campers may need a poncho or raincoat with a hat. We encourage you to have your campers wear old clothing to camp since they will be swimming, participating in outdoor games, and hiking through the woods.
Shoes-Campers should wear either old athletic shoes or sandals with a tight back strap. Due to the running activities athletic shoes are better for the campers. Flip Flops are not a good idea for footwear at camp except for using at the pool.
Sunscreen and Bug Repellant– Lotion, pump-action, or wipe only. Please no aerosol sprays.
Putting it all together-A backpack is a great way to bring items to camp, and bring everything home. Please mark child’s name on backpack.
What are the pick-up and drop-off times at camp?
Drop-off at camp is between 7:30 am-8:15 am. Pick-up is between 5:00-6:00 pm. Late fees may be incurred if your child isn’t picked up by 6:00 pm. IF you need to drop-off later or pick-up earlier, please come to the front office, in the main lodge. Day Campers could be participating in activities all around the camp, so please allow yourself extra time for drop-off and pick-up if you are coming at a non-traditional time.
Where is the Warren Willis United Methodist Camp and Conference Center?
Warren Willis Camp is located on 150 acres on the shores of Lake Griffin with a physical address of 4990 Picciola Rd. in Fruitland Park, FL. Please look for signs to direct you to drop off and pick up locations.
What precautions are taken when campers are swimming in the pool?
All campers must take a swimming test during the first full day of camp to demonstrate their swimming ability. We have a shallow area in our pool which allows for all non-swimmers to be in the pool, but campers who are not able to pass the swimming test will not be allowed onto our slides or deeper areas of the pool. Campers will be outfitted with a colored wrist band to let lifeguards know their swimming ability.
What water activities will my child participate in while at camp?
The campers travel to the water activities as a group. The campers will swim in the pool for one hour each day, weather permitting. On Thursday, they also have the opportunity to participate in water games.
What happens if it rains?
Warren Willis Camp is blessed to have such a magnificent natural setting to implement our programs. When it rains our camp day proceeds as usual. Campers may come home wet or muddy on rainy days. When rain is accompanied by thunder and lightning, all campers are moved to covered areas. Indoor activities may include, arts & crafts, movies, games, etc.
