CAMP INFORMATION:
A few details...
What makes Woodinville Day Camp special?
Camper units will be finalized and sent out in early July. To see what Unit your camper is in, a link to a spreadsheet will be sent in an email before camp. You will need to know what your camper's unit letter is at check-in/out. You can also use the control ‘F’ function if you are having a hard time finding your campers. Our teens would ask that you please not share the PA/PATs real names. (Please create a car sign for your camper or teens unit letter for pick-up.) Where will my campers be at River Ranch? To see where Camper Units and Stations are located...as well as a map of the River Ranch Property, please use the drop down on Camp Info. for maps. |
What is the WDC DAILY SCHEDULE?
Below is our abbreviated schedule. We have adjusted our schedule and start time for our new camp location, new drop-off/carline procedure, and for accommodating our new boating and archery programming at River Ranch:

PACKING LIST
|
CHECKLIST OF ITEMS TO WEAR OR BRING TO CAMP EACH DAY: Updated 2022
BACKPACK: to hold all of your stuff! Comfortable straps are recommended vs. drawstring style bags. Some units will hike or travel around camp with their backpacks and/or lunches. PACK A SACK LUNCH & SNACKS EVERYDAY: Please send a lunch with a protein and TWO snacks each day. Please provide adequate cooler packs. Campers are often hungrier at camp due to all the activities.
WATER BOTTLE: make sure your camper brings one 18 oz. or larger water bottle each day. We hike around the camp a lot, it can get hot, and campers do get thirsty. Bottles can be refilled at camp. SUNSCREEN AND INSECT REPELLENT: Please apply BEFORE arriving at camp. Insect repellent is needed because there are many mosquitos at this camp. Both should be reapplied during the day as well, most likely at lunch time! CAMP SHIRT: campers will receive their camp shirt on Monday. It needs to be worn every day for the rest of the week. Please wash as needed at night. Please do not alter or cut camp shirts. (6th graders dye their shirts on Monday. Please wear a t-shirt & shorts that can get messy and stained.) SHOES: CLOSED toe shoes or CLOSED toe sandals must be worn. Make sure they are sturdy and appropriate for the outdoors. Closed toe shoes are required due to the potentially ‘dangerous’ activities we have at camp (I.E. fire, knives, hiking, etc.). Campers without appropriate shoes will be able to call their parents and wait in the Barn until appropriate shoes are brought to camp. *CROCS or similar style shoes are great for a second pair of shoes to use during water play (as shoes must be worn at all times). However, they are not the best choice for everyday wear for the active day our campers will participate in. HAT: to keep the sun off your head and out of your eyes. Sunglasses are optional but can also be helpful. Bandannas are also a great way to keep the sun off your neck or can be wet to help keep you cool. JACKET or SWEATSHIRT: mornings can be cool or campers might get cool especially if we have some water play. Please make sure your camper dresses appropriately for the weather and for camp in general. EXTRA SET OF CLOTHES (underware/shirt/shorts/socks): to change into, in case you get wet from water play on hot days! Extra dry socks help campers from getting blisters if their shoes get wet after they engage in water play to cool down on hot days. Scout Uniforms: are optional for our flag ceremony. Our opening ceremony is held in the Cedars Parking lot area and our closing ceremony will be up in the Meadow Field. Published schedules are available on our website before camp. Camp Chairs are optional for all adult volunteers and teens. They can be left overnight in your unit cabins, cooking shelters, or the Barn. (We are not responsible for lost or stolen items, so we suggest bringing an older chair). ***MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON EVERYTHING!!! |
SPIRIT DAYS:
|
Our spirit days have been planned in advance and start on Tuesday. It is not required to dress up, but campers do find it fun. Camp t-shirts need to still be worn each day.

Please plan to park in the Cedars or Pebbles parking lot and walk into camp to the Red Barn with help from our staff. Please check in with any Purple Shirt CORE member to help you. Or if you would like to schedule a Zoom ‘Health Conference’ for us to discuss the health, medications, or needs of your child while at camp. Please email [email protected] to schedule a Zoom appointment for a week or two before camp.
- During the Week of Camp Communications: Please email our directors at the above email for questions you have. We will update our emergency contact information via email with cell phone numbers that you use to reach by phone or text before camp week. Cell coverage can be weak at times. Texts and emails seem to be the easiest, as we don't always have the best reception for phone calls. If you need to talk with a director or CORE Staff the week of camp, please plan to park in the Cedars or Pebbles parking lot and walk into camp to the Red Barn with help from our staff.
- Picking Up Early or Arriving Late: Daytime-early camper pick up or late arrival will be located behind the red Barn and art building. Please text or call when you arrive. A staff member will walk your camper to you or come get your camper. If you do not see us or you are unable to reach us please park behind the red barn off the main road to not block the road and walk to the Big Red Barn where a CORE staff member can help you. Please allow extra time for early picks up as it takes a few minutes for our staff to escort our campers from their unit activities to the Barn for pick up.
We look forward to seeing you all and making new friends at camp! We will be sending a email (or two) before camp. Until then please reach out if you have any questions!
