Listed below is all the important information for parents, should you have any further questions not answered below feel free to contact us direct.
The opening day of camp is of major importance to the campers and the staff. All campers should plan to arrive in the morning between 9-12.
Boys cannot be accepted prior to opening day, except by special arrangement in advance; cost $250 per day.
If your son is arriving late, please let us know. If you bring your son to camp, we suggest that you meet his Cabin Counselor, Head Counselor and the Camp Directors, visit the office and infirmary, and go by the camp store.
Please do not linger for too long; it makes it harder for your son to get off to a good start.
Parents and siblings are invited to the closing ceremonies the day before the final day of each session.The traditional ceremonies include the Olympics at 3:00pm, Cookout Supper at 5:30pm, Final Camp Fire at 6:30pm.
Campers may depart with their parents after the Camp Fire at approximately 8:30pm or stay the night and depart by Noon on closing day. Boys who are flying home should fly out early on Closing Day.

Because we serve plenty of good food and daily snacks, we ask that no food, drinks, candy or gum be brought or sent to camp. Packages containing these items will not be given to your son which can be unpleasant for him and us. Food in the cabins is a health problem because it attracts insects and rodents.
Packages containing books and non-electronic games are welcome. Please put your son’s cabin# on his address. Mail is delivered daily.
PLEASE INFORM GRANDPARENTS AND OTHER RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.
Camp Gift Packs are available through Camp Pacs in Brevard.Call toll free 1-800-248-CAMP Website: http://camppacs.com/
Our camp doctor is Ora Wells, Pediatrician in Brevard. Dr. Wells will visit our camp twice a week. Campers needing emergency treatment will be taken to Transylvania Community Hospital. Parents will be billed for these services. Health & Accidental Insurance is required for your son while attending camp. We have 3 nurses living at our camp infirmary, with at least one on duty at all times. Services rendered by them and by Dr Wells at camp are included in our fee.
All medications such as aspirin, cold remedies and first aid supplies are provided at our camp infirmary and administrated under the direction of our registered nurses. Please do not send these items to camp with your son. If your son takes routine medications, please indicate on your son's health form and give all medications to the nurses on opening day. If your son is on medication to help him concentrate and to be more successful in school we suggest he remains on those medications at camp. We need to know if you are taking your son off his medication for the summer. Medicine must be kept at the Infirmary, prescriptions are the parents’ financial responsibility.
OUR HEALTH FORM has been sent to you. Please mail it back to us, with Emergency Authorization signed by you, prior to your son’s arrival. We require campers to have had a physical within one year of the date of their arrival. Please indicate any physical injuries your son has had since their last physical. If you do not have a Camp Carolina Health form, call us at 800-551-9136 and we will send you one. If you son has been exposed to any disease within a period of time before opening date of camp making his presence in camp an endangerment to other campers, he must delay his arrival here until the danger of contagion has passed.
We charge a $1 fee per page for a fax or email.
Fax: 828-884-2454;
email to mychild@campcarolina.com
and we will debit your son’s camp bank or you may log on to our website - www.campcarolina.com to see your son in action & to purchase pictures of your child. (Be sure to put the campers name in the subject area when sending email.)
NOTE: DO NOT RELY ON EMAILS. SEND MAIL AND FAXES ALSO
If letters reaching you from your son are unsatisfactory, please realize that it takes some boys longer than others to make the adjustment. Your son is not going to stop what he’s doing when he’s having fun, to write a letter. Boy’s only opportunity to write is during downtime when they are likely to think about home. Some of these letters will be classic and worth keeping to read at their weddings or graduation. Others could possibly be of a more serious nature.
Alfred keeps three lists that are updated twice daily. One is “Homesick” the second is “Wildman” and the third is “Infirmary”. If you call because you’ve received an Unhappy Camper Letter we will check these lists. If your son is on one of the lists we will fill you in. If your son is not on any of our lists — “no news is good news” In either case we can have his counselor or head counselor call you and give you a report.
If your son is experiencing serious problems here whether it’s socially, medically or with homesickness you will hear from us. Together we can turn most boys around so that everybody here has a positive experience!
All possessions brought to camp, including clothing, shoes, tennis racquets, golf clubs, rollerblades and any athletic equipment should be clearly marked in indelible ink.
These items and clothing may be lost, mildewed or borrowed and not returned. Therefore, we urge you not to go out and buy a lot of new clothing and equipment. Boys should not bring more than 10 CD’s.
There is a $700 registration fee, $250 of which is non refundable. There is a $500 October 1 payment, a $500 December 1 payment a $500 February 1 payment and the balance is due by April 1 .
If cancellation occurs before February 1st by written notice (mail, email or fax) all but $250 will be refunded. If cancellation occurs after February 1st, there will be no refund. There is no reduction for campers arriving late or leaving early.
A statement for each payment will be mailed to you ten days prior to due date.
Please make checks payable to:
Camp Carolina, PO Box 919, Brevard NC 28712.
Our fee is all inclusive, except for incidentals, camp store charges, vita pups, prize trips, and pizza deliveries. Spending money may be sent with the final payment to establish a camp bank account for each camper. We suggest $35/wk for each session. We will refund excess in camp bank or will bill you if your son is overdrawn.
Attending camp provides an extraordinary opportunity for the camper to gain the self-reliance, self-confidence and independence important to a young boy’s development. Therefore, we strongly discourage visitation by parents and relatives. We highly recommend that parents visit camp on opening and closing day of the camp session. At these times parents are encouraged to meet the staff and view the camp facility.
We do not recommend requesting that close friends be assigned to the same cabin. However, we will put together two boys of the same school grade if requested by the parents of both boys. We reserve the right of final decision. Request must be made in writing four weeks prior to arrival.
