This Just In: Ferncliff Overnight Camps in 2021! In Summer Camp, Uncategorised Posted March 8, 2021

This Just In: Ferncliff Overnight Camps in 2021!

The Ferncliff leadership staff has been keeping a close watch on the health and safety conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in our community, state, and region. We shared with you earlier this year that we would be offering limited day camp programs this summer with a few significant modifications to our typical summer routine, including increased cleaning and sanitization, small and separate groups, maximized outdoor times, and daily health screenings.

We believe that Ferncliff is the kind of place where kids can expand their independence, learn more about themselves, and connect with the natural world. And parents agree – The response to our day camp programs has been amazing! We have seen tons of registrations for our Day Camp and Nature Preschool Day Camp programs in the past few months.

As we have continued to follow directives from the Arkansas Department of Health regarding our camp programs, we made the exciting decision to offer four weeks of limited overnight residential camps this summer as well.

Overnight camps at Ferncliff this summer will be for campers entering 3rd through 12th grades. There will be three sessions available for elementary campers, three sessions for middle school campers, and two session for high school campers. You can check out our camp calendar page for dates for each age group.

Like our day camp programs, our overnight sessions and the daily routine at Ferncliff will look a little different this year from a typical summer. Due to the changing nature of the pandemic, we have a page that covers our COVID-19 policies, procedures, and information. This page will be updated as information and recommendations change. You can also always give us a call at 501-821-3063, or email Jocelyn, our camp director, at jocelyn@ferncliff.org, for more information.

We modified our refund policy so that families can have more flexibility as they make decisions about their summer plans. This spring we have a no-risk registration policy; cancel anytime before April 1st and receive a full refund. And like any summer, you can cancel any time up to 14 days before your scheduled program and only forfeit the deposit.

Thank you so much for your support in this wild year. We will do our best to keep families informed of any other changes to our summer schedule or policies/procedures. Know that we will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our campers and staff as we consider how we can work towards our mission and serve our community amidst this pandemic.

Appreciatively,
Joel C. Gill
