General Questions About Camp
General Questions About CampQ. Do you have a "multiple children" discount (for single families sending more than one child to camp)?
Yes! Please see our rates under our Register page. ^ TOP Q. Where is the camp located?
Trinity Woods Summer Day Camp is located in Macon, Georgia, just off I-475 and Mercer University Drive/Thomaston Road. The Street address is 1899 Tucker Road. The Camp's facilities are located on the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity's campus.
^ TOP Q. Are tours of the camp available?
Yes! We would love the opportunity to show you our 17+ Acre camp grounds and facility. Our staff will be giving tours during the week prior to the opening of camp. Please email us at campdirector@trinitywoods.org to ask about our tour dates. ^ TOP Q. What will my camper need for camp?
Please make sure that your camper has the following items with them EVERY DAY so they can enjoy their day camp experience with us! Please write your camper's name on everything you can! ^ TOP Q. Will my camper get as dirty as you say?
Yes! Your camper will get dirty. This is a 100% OUT-OF-DOORS camp, which means that unless it is thundering and lightening or the temperature is unsafe, we will be outside. You will want to BATHE your camper every night and do a quick check for creepy critters like ticks, etc. We keep the property sprayed, however, critters still have a way of getting into our camp site. ^ TOP Q. What is your site like? What sort of "areas" do you have?
Our facilities are nestled in 17 wooded acres with Trinity Creek rambling through to splash and slide in, a large pavilion for whole camp gatherings and lunch, a new wood-chipped based playground, sports field, climbing wall, hiking and biking trails, plenty of woods for fort-building, an open "pole-barn" for group games, arts and crafts, an area for volleyball and archery, and a rather large tree house. We are planning on adding a few "low-ropes" centers throughout the woods for team building and extra fun. ^ TOP Q. My child will be a 1st time camper this summer. What is a typical day like at camp?
On a daily basis we have a flag ceremony complete with both the American and Christian flags and pledges, as well as small group prayer time. The counselor is responsible for creating and directing their activities for the day. Often 2 or 3 groups will get together for sporting events, arts and crafts, an occasional movie (in the worst heat), water games, etc.... On Wednesdays we have Bible Time including singing, skits and a short Bible story. ^ TOP Q. How will my camper be grouped?
Most of our campers are placed in either age-related or interest related small groups and are assigned to a wonderful Christian Counselor. ^ TOP Q. How is your camp with kids who are on the spectrum?
Trinity Woods is not equipped or trained to handle kids who require special needs or fall on the spectrum. Our camp is often over-stimulating/overwhelming for those children. Following directions when given is also essential for being able to effectively keep our campers safe. Our camp counselors are high school seniors and college students who are not specifically trained in properly interacting with children with special needs. ^ TOP Q. What is a typical day like at camp?
On a daily basis, we have a flag ceremony at 9 am, complete with both the American and Christian flags and pledges, as well as small group prayer time. Each group has 5 activity slots each day that the counselor is responsible for creating and directing. Often 2 or 3 groups will get together for sporting events, arts and crafts, an occasional movie (in the worst heat), water games, etc... Lunch is at 12 noon and snack times are provided at 10:30 am and 3 pm. Once a week, we have Bible Time, including singing, skits and a short Bible story. ^ TOP |
