Camp Sequoyah
During the summer, we offer full-day, week-long camps for children ages 5-12. We also offer multi-day camps throughout the school year to provide childcare during school breaks.
Each day of camp includes fun games, crafts, activities, and swimming (summer only)! Campers are divided into small groups for safety and spacing. Group are determined by age as well as families' preferences for keeping siblings together. All activities are subject to change based on weather, staff availability, and current COVID-19 guidelines. No matter what day of the week it is, our goal is to keep kids engaged, active, and, of course, having fun all day long!
Camp runs 7:45 am - 5:15 pm
Lunch and two snacks are provided each day
Fee: $60 per day including $25 non-refundable deposit (multi-day discounts available)
School Break Camps & Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic
Although we entered the year with more hope as local distribution of vaccines began, the emergence of the Delta variant kept many of our existing protocols in place for Summer 2021. As we prepare to launch our school break camps (Thanksgiving and Winter Break), we are still planning to include additional safety measures and an altered camp structure.
We plan to initially open registration to accommodate 25 campers per day based on our current staffing capacity. The University of Arkansas classes go until Thanksgiving itself, so our returning counselor base is currently limited. If we can secure more staff, we will increase capacity to accommodate 50 campers per day. If that’s the case, those 50 campers will be divided into two groups in two separate spaces on our campus.
At this time masks will be required inside when not eating (at a distance).
If CDC guidelines or state restrictions alter in the coming months (i.e. our current situation improves and becomes safer for more people to gather together, vaccines become approved for children, or the situation continues to worsen), we will communicate and adjust accordingly. This means that there is always a chance that spots could become available from the waitlist. It is very important that you sign up for the waitlist as soon as possible. Make sure to fully “check out” even though you won’t be charged. You should still receive a confirmation email that says “waitlisted” in orange.
