                      Q.    When should we arrive at Camp?
                      A.    
                      Generally, resident campers arrive on Sunday evenings at 6pm, but some camp sessions start at 
                                different times.  Typically, day campers arrive daily at 8am, but some sessions start at different   
                                times.  Specific times for each week will be included in the parent packet.  This will be released soon!


                      Q.    When should I pick-up my child? 
                      A.    
                      Generally, resident campers go home on Friday afternoons at 2pm.  However, some sessions end on 
                                different days at at different time.  Day campers go home each day at 5:30pm, except Fridays when 
                                pick up is at 2pm.  Day campers can be picked up earlier in the day if arrangements are made ahead of 
                                time.  Please let the day camp instructor or camp director know you would like to pick your child up 
                                early.  At the end of most sessions there is an awards ceremony that parents are encouraged to 
                                attend.  This awards ceremony will start approximate 45 minutes prior to pick up time.   Specific 
                                times for each week will be include in the parent packet.  This information will be released soon!

                      Q.    Can I visit/call my children while they are at 4-H Camp Kidwell?
                      A.     
                      Our policy discourages parents, relatives, or friends from visiting their children while they are at 
                                  camp.  We feel attending camp is a great opportunity for children to experience independence and 
                                  grow as individuals.  If family and friends visit during the campers short stay with us this   
                                  opportunity can be diminished greatly.  We will not prohibited guests from visiting, but want you to 
                                  know that it is our experience when visitors(especially close relatives) come the likelihood of 
                                  sadness(homesickness) rises significantly.

                      Q.    How are medications handled?
                      A.    
                      Children's medications are handled by the Camp Nurse.  Our nurse is a medical professional, and they   
                                are in charge of holding, recording, and administering medicines.  During the check-in process you will 
                                meet with our nurse and discuss any medications and special notices.  The Camp Nurse will follow
                                those directions throughout the week.
