What will campers learn?

Summer Day Camp 2012 includes five themed days: Colonial Farm Life, Wilderness Day, Gold Rush Adventure, Pirate Day, and Water Day.  Some activities and lessons include:  archery, tomahawk throwing, treasure hunting, wilderness survival, map-reading and orienteering, animal tending, blacksmithing, berry picking, gold panning, candle dipping, butter making, weaving, writing with quill & ink, and much more.  Counselors are costumed according to the day’s theme, and they teach in settings that re-create a small 18^th century New England village, a Gold Rush mining community in 1849, and the excitement and adventure of Piracy’s golden era.  Please review the 2013 Sample Itinerary for details on each day’s activities.

What should my child wear?

Guests should dress in cool clothing appropriate for outdoor summer adventure. Jeans/pants or shorts are best.  Long pants are not required, except on Wilderness Day.  Tennis shoes or sneakers are the best form of footwear, since campers will be hiking on dirt trails and playing outdoors. Overall, stick with cotton and leave at home that which you don’t want getting dirty.

What should my child bring?

• A change of clothing and extra shoes/socks tend to come in handy, as does a good sun hat. Water will be provided to campers throughout the day, but water bottles are highly recommended. Campers need not bring food, unless they want extra snacks.

• Please provide medication and detailed instructions if you would like the staff to administer any prescription or over-the-counter meds during the day. Kindly advise the office when you register if your camper has any allergies.

• The Bakery window and colonial store will be open during the week, so campers may bring money to buy extra food, pies, or souvenirs.  Time will be allotted on Friday afternoon for the campers to visit the mercantile.

• On Fridays, we recommend that all campers dress normally and bring the following for Water Day:  a towel, bathing suit or swimming trunks, water shoes (if desired) or flip-flops.

How hot is it in Oak Glen in the summer?

Usually it is about 10-15 degrees cooler than the surrounding towns, getting into the 80s and 90s on some days.  Most physical activities take place in the morning, and the afternoon activities are done inside buildings, under tents, and near the pond.

 Is the program co-ed?

Yes. We welcome boys and girls.

My child is coming with a friend. Will they be in the same group?

Yes!  However, some activities require us to break into smaller groups for short time periods.

What type of qualifications and experience does your staff have?

Our staff is very experienced and well-trained.  Counselors maintain current First Aid and Adult/Infant/Child CPR training and certification through the American Red Cross, as well as Food Handler’s Certification through the County of San Bernardino.  Staff members work year-round with children of all ages.

Do you have emergency response plans?

Yes, we have an extensive employee manual and training program to help us deal with all possible situations, including medical, fire, earthquakes, uninvited guests and wildlife.

What’s on the menu?

Campers will feast on tasty and nutritious delights from the on-site restaurant and bakery.  Some favorites include: homemade  pizza, chicken drumsticks, quesadillas, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and apple pie.  Visit the Summer Day Camp section of www.rileysfarm.com  for the complete menu.

What if my child has a food allergy or other dietary need?

First, we ask that you advise your booking agent when you make the reservation so that our staff is aware. Second, we will make every effort to offer a modified menu item when possible. If it isn’t, you are more than welcome to send any supplemental menu item(s) with your camper. We can easily accommodate whatever needs refrigeration.

Do you guys offer a full week, overnight program for Summer Day Camp?

We did the first few summers, but didn’t have the required minimum number of campers signed up to proceed with the program. We have not abandoned the idea, we just need enough popular request to put the plan into operation.

What are your disciplinary procedures/expectations of campers?

We begin each week with a brief meeting with our campers, wherin we advise them of all of our policies and expectations. We communicate that they are in place to ensure everyone’s safety and fun. Campers are advised that a first offense will result in a verbal reminder of what the rule is, and how it was broken. Second timers will receive a short break from the group, in a safe, supervised location, to give them a moment to consider what has transpired and how they may change their behavior. A third offense will result in a phone call to a parent/relative. Repeated behavioral issues beyond a phone call will result in a child being sent home for a day or more.  Since our focus is the safety and fun for all, we do everything we can to prevent issues before they arise, and never enjoy having to take disciplinary measures.
