What are the dormitories like? Are they secure?
​Campers reside in UWSP student dormitories. Two campers are assigned to each room; single rooms are available for an additional fee. Community bathroom/shower areas are shared. Showers are private stalls with an additional private dressing area. The dorms are air-conditioned. Fans are not required. 

Counselors stay with and supervise the campers. For security, campers and visitors are only able to enter the residence hall through the front main entrance. The remaining doors are for exit only. An alarm will sound if one of these doors is propped open. Additionally, the main entrance is locked during sleeping hours or when the front desk is not staffed.

What if I need to cancel? What is the refund policy?

You may cancel up until the date listed on your camp’s webpage and be charged only the non-refundable deposit fee. Cancellations received after that date will not be refunded. No refunds will be given for a student who leaves camp early for any reason. Send written request to uwspceweb@uwsp.edu

Our Camp reserves the right to send home, without refund, any camper who fails to behave in an appropriate manner or breaks any local/state/federal laws or camp regulations.

How much supervision is there for the campers?

We have a 10:1 camper/counselor ratio in addition to the camp faculty and staff. Trained and qualified camp counselors are on duty 24 hours/day and reside with campers in the dormitories. Counselors check-in with their assigned campers throughout the day and attendance is taken in classes and at "lights out."

Campers are not allowed to leave campus without their counselor's knowledge. Riding in other campers' cars is also prohibited during the camp session.

Our camp reserves the right to send home without refund any camper who fails to behave in an appropriate manner or breaks any local/state/federal laws or regulations.

Does my child need to bring money for any other reason?

All camp expenses such as meals, classes, and supplies are covered by the camper's tuition. Campers may want to bring money to use vending machines or for purchases they choose to make during the week. Often times, groups will visit a nearby ice cream shop (Belt's) or the University Store.

If your child does bring money to camp, instruct them on how to keep their money safe. For example: Do not leave your dorm room unlocked when you're not in it. Do not allow other campers to be in your room (except your roommate) when you are not there. Do not put your purse down in the cafeteria and walk away from it. Simple but often forgotten safety rules.

May I visit my child while they are at camp?
Family members are welcome to visit their campers during the week. We ask that visitors announce their arrival to the camper's counselor and/or the camp director. Please notify the camp counselor if you will be leaving campus. Students must sign out and sign in when leaving campus.

My child would like to room with a friend. How do we request this?
There is a space on the application form for a roommate request. The camp staff does their best to honor all requests received by the application deadline. If you forgot to request a roommate at time of registration, please call the Customer Service desk at 715-346-3838. We can take your request over the phone.

What evening activities are planned?
Afternoon and evening activities in the past have included movie night, talent shows, karaoke, dances, concerts, swimming, volleyball, capture the flag and nature hikes. Evening activities are based on camper interest and weather. All activities are supervised.

Can you accommodate special dietary restrictions?
Yes, we offer a variety of menu items at every meal including dairy free, gluten free and peanut free items. Please fill in your registration form with all the information we will need to accomodate.
