The majority of our day camp staff are long-time Mohawk campers, who have worked their way up as campers, Counselors-in-Training (CITs), Junior Counselors, and Counselors! These talented young women have committed their summers to Mohawk and its campers for years and couldn’t imagine not giving another year to camp. We have also hired several local staff from other camps & youth programs. We are excited to have so many experienced, skilled counselors to help your campers have the summer of a lifetime.

When you come to pick up your child please make sure you have a photo I.D. ready. You will tell the staff member which child you are picking up and group they are in, and they will direct your car to where to go. You will need you show your I.D. to your child’s counselor once you get to where your child’s group is being picked up. Your child will have their Daily Dose of Day Camp form and any reminders for the following day in their camp folder.

Please be sure that your child has the following items each day for camp. Campers may leave any belongings they’d like in their cabin for the week.

• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• Water bottle
• Sneakers
• Flip flops (for waterfront only)
• Swimsuit
• Towel
• Change of clothes
• Lunch (if severe allergy or if they don’t want provided lunch)
• Raincoat
• Backpack

On your child’s first day at camp, he or she will receive a zipped folder. This will have information about their day, any reminders for the following day, and any incident reports or notes if necessary. You may send notes to your child’s counselor, if necessary, via this folder as well. Please be sure that your child has their folder each day.

The required camper forms are now available online through your CampInTouch portal. The first icon once you sign in will be a yellow box labeled ‘Forms and Documents.’ From here, you will see there are multiple forms to complete:

1. Letter to My Counselor: Must be completed by the camper(s). This will be given to their counselors so that they can have a better understanding of their camper before they arrive.
2. Parent Letter to My Counselor: Must be completed by you, the parent or guardian. This will give us a better idea of what your expectations are, as well as any other information we may need for your child’s time with us.
3. Physician’s Exam: This will need to be completed by a doctor. You are more than welcome to use the form we provided, but your physician’s own form will also be accepted. We understand there can be a delay right now in getting this form completed, and we will gladly accept forms up to 3 years old.
4. Medication Authorization: This form is NOT required. However, if your child is bringing ANY kind of medication (topical, over the counter, prescription, etc.) we will need this form completed and signed by a doctor. You will need to complete one form per medication. Please check to make sure we do not already have common medications through the Health History form.

Once you have completed the forms, you will upload them back on to your CampInTouch portal. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out and we will be happy to help.
