Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are camp hours?

    8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Please do not drop off early, as our staff has a meeting until camp opens.

  • Are extended hours available?

    Not at this time.

  • What are Fun Fridays?

    Fun Fridays are the only day that ALL campers are on campus. We have fun team activities planned depending on the week’s theme.

  • Is there swimming daily?

    Each team goes to the beach twice a week. The Town of Barrington allows us to use its beach and lifeguards for our afternoon swim. We appreciate the graciousness of Barrington’s Recreation Department. The older teams will occasionally visit Spring Lake Beach in Burrillville.

  • Is my child allowed to have a cell phone at camp?

    Electronics are normal for many children. Many families consider a cell phone a safety item. We want to acknowledge this, but we also hope to provide children with a fantastic time away from “normal.” If your child has a special need that requires their cell phone with them continuously, please let the Camp Director know for special accommodation. Otherwise, cell phone use will be limited to emergencies or communication regarding pick-up.

  • What is the ratio of campers to staff?

    We typically have two counselors who move with a group of 10-15 campers from station to station, and other leaders at each station (e.g., the art station, the sports station, etc.).

  • Can siblings/friends be on the same team?

    We generally group students into early elementary, older elementary, and middle school groups, so we can often accommodate adjustments to keep siblings or friends in the same group if they are within a couple of years of each other. The accommodation would be at the Camp Director’s discretion.

  • Should campers bring a packed lunch each day?

    Yes, campers should bring a packed lunch each day. Please be sure to include a refillable water bottle. The Snack Shack offers quick snacks, such as chips and cookies, for purchase.

  • Are scholarships available?

    While we price camp as economically as possible, we understand that it can still sometimes be out of reach. We have a generous church that gives toward a scholarship fund. Here's what to do:

    • Complete a camper application, including the $50 deposit, and indicate your need for a scholarship.
    • You'll be emailed a brief questionnaire asking what price would make camp possible for your family.
    • A team member will let you know if we can make that happen for you.
    • If we cannot, your deposit will be returned. If the $50 deposit itself is out of reach, email the Camp Director, Ally Kureck, regarding next steps (cedarwood@bbcri.org).
