Schedule Changes

I want to send my child to Deer Mountain, but I don’t know our summer schedule yet. What should I do?

Our suggestion: make your best guess, and register now. We make it easy to accommodate schedule changes later on, if necessary.

Can I change my child’s camp session after I’ve already registered?

Yes, the weeks of your child’s enrollment can be changed or reduced until 4/1. Extensions can be made based on availability. Just call our office and let us know your schedule change or conflict. We’ll make the adjustment as seamless as possible.

Can I add weeks to extend my child’s stay at Deer Mountain?

It’s best to extend your child’s schedule before the summer starts. If your child is having a blast and wants to stay at camp longer, we do our best to accommodate extensions based on availability.

Other Services & Daily Items Needed for Camp

What do I need to send with my child each day?

We try to make things easy for you! We provide a DMDC backpack. At the beginning of the season, you just need to send 3-5 bathing suits, pool shoes, bottle of sunscreen, extra change of clothes, a jacket as well as any other items your child might need such as a swim shirt, swim goggles or hat. We will keep all items at camp M-F and send home the backpack on Friday afternoon only with what needs to be laundered (typically the bathing suits).

We have a towel service, so your child will get a fresh towel for each swim. If we need an additional item of clothing or a refill bottle of sunscreen throughout the course of the summer, we will let you know.

Please send your child with a Water Bottle each day, that can be refilled with iced water at any of our Water Bottle Fill Stations throughout camp.

If it’s not a Monday morning or Friday afternoon, you won’t see a backpack. We take care of everything in between!

How often do you apply sunscreen?

We make sure the sunscreen you sent with your child is properly applied before and after each swim period. We recommend you apply the first layer before he or she gets on our camp bus each morning. For campers who are particularly sensitive to the sun, additional sunscreen can also be applied during the camp day.
