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 welcome the opportunity to show you our 17-acre campgrounds and facilities. Our staff will be giving tours during our annual Easter Egg Hunt. We invite you and your children to join us! You may email us at campdirector@trinitywoods.org to ask about setting up an individual or group tour.
^ TOP Q. What will my camper need for camp?
Campers must have the following items EVERY DAY so they can enjoy their day camp experience with us. Please label your camper’s belongings with their name.
Swimsuit or clothes for playing in the creek or during water games.
Towel
A change of clothes including socks
Closed-toe athletic shoes and socks must be worn in camp.
Closed-toe water shoes - they cannot play in the creek or play water games without them.
Sunscreen (Please apply before camp. It works better, and we only have time to do touch-ups with younger children. Older children will be reminded.
Bug spray/lotion sunscreen (Please apply before camp. It works better, and we only have time to do touch-ups with younger children. Older children will be reminded.
Cold lunch with beverage ~ we are unable to cook or microwave lunches for campers.
Avoid sending sodas, as they can dehydrate your camper.
Water and juices make a wonderful and refreshing choice.
Refillable water bottle - we have filtered cold water available for refills.
If your camper has a severe allergy requiring an epi-pen, the epi-pen must be present with your child. The pen must be in a clearly labeled bag showing the child’s name on the prescription label. It must not be expired. Parents are required to fill out a medication form for the epi-pen. If a camper is required to have an epi-pen, they will not be allowed entry without it.
Prescription medications with the child’s name, dosage, expiration date, and prescribing doctors name on the original label in the original container. Parents must complete a medication form that includes dosage information, administration times, and authorization for the camp director to give the medication. We only do this for medications required more than 2x daily. When medication is prescribed once or twice daily, it can be given at home to guarantee the child receives every dose.
Please DO NOT bring the following:
Personal items toys, blankets, pillows, games.
Electronic devices. No electronic devices allowed. Electronics, including phones, will be stored safely until the end of day, when campers bring them, disregarding the rules.
We will not administer any over the counter medications, unless we have a doctor’s note detailing dosing and time to administer. The parent form needs to be completed in full.
Food to share with others. Some children have food allergies and may be at risk if they eat food not prepared by their parents.
^ TOP Q. Will my camper get as dirty as you say?
When kids are enjoying their outdoor play and exploration-they get dirty. This is a 100% OUT-OF-DOORS camp, which means that unless it is thundering and lightning, or the temperature rises to unsafe temperatures, we will be outside. You will want to make sure your camper bathes or showers every day. Children with long hair may be more comfortable with their hair put up into ponytails or braids. We highly recommend parents do a quick check for ticks, when their camper returns home. We keep the property sprayed; however, critters still have a way of getting into our camp site. Remember- "Play is the work of the child”. Maria Montessori
^ TOP Q. What is your site like? What sort of "areas" do you have?
Our facilities are nestled within 17 wooded acres with Trinity Creek rambling through the camp. Children are given time weekly to splash, slide and enjoy water play.
We have a large pavilion with picnic tables for whole camp gatherings, including lunch and snacks. Two water fountains are in the pavilion. They are designed for filling water bottles and provide cold, filtered water to help prevent dehydration during our warm Georgia summers. A boy’s bathroom and a girl’s bathroom are available at the pavilion.
Additionally, four Port-a-Potty units are being added this year.
A generous playground, safely spread with wood chips, offers fun climbing experiences.
Two basketball half courts are enjoyed daily.
A sports field, tree house, hiking trails, and plenty of wooded areas for fort-building are used daily.
An open pole-barn for group games, arts and crafts, and other gatherings is also
available. The ceiling fans installed in the pole-barn help provide a nice shady spot for cooling down on hot days.
A large water slide is available during most camp days.
Finally, a long Story Book Trail can be found just below the playground area. Children can spend a few quiet moments reading the story installed in the trail displays.
A cool, air-conditioned area is available for when a child becomes ill during camp time. Staff members will stay with the child until parents can pick them up.
^ 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 may accept children with special needs not requiring one-to-one care or supervision. Assistance with mobility, toileting, and feeding, are not practical in this setting. The setting for our camp is a deeply wooded area with hills and waterways. The terrain is not suitable for those in wheelchairs. The ability to consistently follow directions and remember rules is essential, so we can keep all campers safe. Many of our camp counselors are high school seniors and college students. Their training focuses on working with children who demonstrate typical patterns of development. Please contact us with questions about your specific camper and their special needs.
^ TOP Q. What is a typical day like at camp?
Typically, we have a flag ceremony at 9 AM, complete with both the American and Christian flags and pledges, and prayer. Each Camp group has 5 activity slots featuring various activities such as waterplay, crafts, devotions, group games, sports, sing-a-longs, and nature walks and classes. Sometimes groups combine for sporting events, arts and crafts, competitions, an occasional movie (only in the worst heat), water games, etc. Lunch is between 11:30 and 12:45 with younger children eating first. Snacks are provided at 10:30 am and 3 pm. Once a week, we have Bible Time, which may include singing, skits and a short Bible story.
