Refunds
All cancellations made at least 10 days prior to the start of the week of camp you are canceling will be refunded less a cancellation fee of $30 per week. Refunds for emergency cancellations are up to the discretion of our Camp Director. Fees help us cover the cost of supplies and staffing for which we are already committed by the time Roxborough Day Camp begins.
Refunds will not be issued for the following reasons:
Cancellation was requested after the 10 day deadline.
Parent Choice: A day of rest, family trip, sports event, etc.
Discipline: A day requested by the Camp Director so that behavior problems may be dealt with. Physical violence will result in a child going home and after discussion with a parent may result in the child being asked to take one or more days off from camp.
If a sick camper will miss the week they are scheduled to attend, a transfer of registration to another week can be made without penalty as long as there is space available. If it is not possible, a full refund, minus a cancellation fee, will be made. -
What should I expect when checking my camper in or out?
When campers are dropped off, they will receive two nametags – one to wear, one for the attendance roster. Parents/guardians will receive a numbered security tag corresponding to the number on their camper’s tag. A camper will only be released to the person with the corresponding security tag. Preschool campers will receive a third tag for their backpack.
Who can drop off my camper?
Any adult (16 years or older) is allowed to drop off your camper. Be aware that the adult who drops of is the adult who receives the security tags needed for pick-up.
What if the person picking my child up is different from the one who dropped the off?
Your online registration provides a place to identify individuals approved for pick up. You can also add people by emailing us at camp@roxchristian.org Class Dojo. If the person is not on the approved pick up list, please send a message on Class Dojo. For anyone who is not the primary parent or guardian, please have them bring a photo ID. This is only used in the event an individual is not able to present a security tag during pick-up.
What happens if I can’t find my security tag and don’t have a picture of it?
We will allow campers to be released to an adult listed as approved on that camper’s registration. The adult must present a government issued photo I.D. which we will copy and keep for our records. This process is time-consuming, so we encourage you to keep your security tags in a safe place to expedite the check-out process.
Where is check-in for Roxborough Day Camp?
Check-in takes place at the front entrance of Leverington Church. Our Summer Staff will assist you with the check-in process, and our Student Leaders will escort your child to the appropriate area.
What happens if I’m late checking into Roxborough Day Camp?
If you know you’ll be late to check-in, please contact us through Class Dojo. When you arrive call the number on the check-in sign. A staff member will be able to check you in and escort your camper to the appropriate area.
What happens if I need to check-out early?
If you know you’ll be checking-out early, please contact us through Class Dojo. When you arrive, call the number on the check-in sign. A staff member will bing your camper to you.
We ask that you plan an extra 5 to 10 minutes for early check-outs. We will only release campers to an adult at the church entrace, this allows us to make sure our security protocols are followed and helps ensure the safety of all campers.

What should my child wear?
Campers should dress comfortably for the weather. Shoes with backs are strongly recommended for all camps, no matter how active or inactive they appear. If additional clothing is needed for a particular activity (i.e., dress up day, water day, Fire Truck day, etc.), a message will be sent out ahead of time in Class Dojo.
Because campers are likely to spend extended periods of time outside, please put sunscreen on your camper before dropping them off at camp.What do I need to bring to camp?
For most activities, there is no required equipment. Breakfast and lunch are provided each day. Some camps require a change of clothes or swimwear. You will be notified via Class Dojo of any additional items or equipment needed for a specific day.
How do you handle heat issues?
We have water available at all times. We also carefully monitor the heat index. If there is a heat advisory or warning, we will stay inside during those times.
How do I get information to my child during camp hours?
For non-emergencies, we ask that you contact us Class Dojo.
For emergency situations, please contact Roxborough Christian School at 267-804-5715.
What does a typical day at Roxborough Day Camp look like?
Drop off will begin at 8:30, where every child will be offered breakfast and participate in table games. We will have a quick morning meeting and then get ready for our activity groups. Afterwards, we will gather back together for lunch. After lunch all campers will participate in games, worship, a bible story. Early childhood will have a rest break, while the older campers enjoy small group games and activities. For the remainder of the afternoon we will head back to our large activity groups until dismissal.
Why doesn’t Roxborough Day Camp have a friend request option?
When a camper is registered, they select an activity group (ex. Last Blast) To ensure friends will be together, they should be signed up for the same camp activity group. Be aware of the week that your camper is registered as some camp activity groups are repeated throughout the Summer.

My child needs to take medication during camp hours. Are you equipped to administer this necessity?
Yes! Our staff is first-aid certified and prepared to help care for all needs, including medication. Medications, including over-the-counter drugs and epi-pens, must be designated on the child’s registration form.
What do I do if my child is sick?
In order to provide a safe, healthy environment for all, we ask you to keep your camper home if they show any signs of illness, such as a runny nose, persistent cough, fever, vomit, diarrhea etc., until they have been symptom-free for 24 hours.
How will I be notified if my child gets sick at camp?
If your child gets sick at camp, our team will contact you using the information provided upon registration.
