FAQ

We encourage and appreciate open communication with parents. Should you have any concerns, please discuss them with the Lead Counselor or Camp Director. We will send out reminders for field trips and water days through email. We also have voicemail in which you can leave a message regarding camp. A staff member will return your call as soon as possible. The Camp HYPE number is (313) 436-0043 Ext. 125.

If you know in advance that your camper will be late or not be attending camp, please inform us the day

before. If you are not aware of your camper being late or absent until that day, please call Camp HYPE at: 

(313) 436-0043.This is very important because we may be holding up activities based on the assumption that your camper will be at camp.

Please let camp staff know and call HYPE to notify us 20-30 minutes prior to your arrival. This way we can have your camper ready and waiting for you. We reserve the right to ask for the ID of anyone picking up a child from camp.

Please list all persons over the age 18 eligible to pick up your camper on the Child Information Form.

We will not release campers to anyone who is not on the Child Information Form or who is not 18 years of age.

As a health standard, courtesy to other campers and staff, and for the well-being of your camper, ill

campers (runny noses, fever, etc.) should not attend Camp HYPE.  A parent/guardian will be notified if your camper displays any symptoms of illness.  * Refer to attendance on page 3 of packet.

Any movie shown will be rated G or PG only.

We create groups according to age.  Group A will be our youngest group, ages 5-6.  Group B will be our

middle group, ages 7-9. Group C is the oldest group, ages 10-12. There may be some activities throughout the summer where all groups will participate at the same time, but for the most part, the groups will be separated from each other with their own activities and curriculum to follow.

In the morning, the campers place their belongings in a designated bin or tub at the entrance of HYPE. The campers then place their lunches into tubs according to their group. These tubs are brought out to the tables at lunch time. At the end of the day, the bins and lunch tubs will be brought back to the entrance of HYPE during check out time.

Why is summer camp important for kids?

You’re giving them an experience that may have many life-long, positive benefits. You are giving them the opportunity to grow and develop skills and character traits that are often hard to develop in the comforts of home.
