Please do not send your child to camp if they are exhibiting symptoms of illness or have been exposed to any sickness.

What if a session is canceled?

If Rowan-Cabarrus Community College cancels a camp for any reason, you will be offered the opportunity to select another available session or be provided a full refund.

Transfers to another camp session may be made if space is available. If there is a price difference, then payment must be made to reserve a seat for your child.

You may send a snack or a drink for your child as you choose. A small snack and water will be provided by Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.

How should campers dress?

Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes (no flip-flops) are preferred. No short shorts, tank tops, or offensive language on any article of clothing will be permitted. Please pack an extra layer in case the camper finds the air conditioning inside the building to be too cool.

What do campers need to bring/not bring?

All materials for camps are included in the registration fee unless otherwise noted. If your camper brings a cell phone, it can be used only for emergencies during camp time.

What if my child needs to take medications or has special needs while at camp?

Special needs should, to the extent possible, be specified on the registration form. Any prescription medication the camper must take during camp must be labeled by the pharmacy with the camper’s name; over-the-counter medication must be accompanied by a parent’s note and clear instructions.

How will the camp handle first-aid or emergency care?

First aid kits are available on all campuses. In the event of an emergency every attempt will be made to contact the parent or one of the specified alternative emergency contacts while seeking medical assistance.
