SEQUOIA DAY CAMP
The Sequoia Day Camp is an outdoor camp filled with crafts, music, sports, tennis, swimming, friends, and fun! The mission of the camp is to provide an enjoyable and safe environment for each child where they have the opportunity to try new things and feel accepted and successful.
Day Camp After Care
If you would like to hire a day camp counselor to babysit your child/children when camp ends at 2:00 we can help! As the summer draws closer, we will have a list of available counselors/teens who may be interested in staying until 5:00.
Please contact Lynn Hawblitzel for the list of available teens.
Sequoia will not be responsible for children in the care of babysitters hired by a parent outside of normal camp hours.
Policy for Non-swimmers
Every afternoon we will have free swim time. All campers are able to go to both pools together with their friends and counselors. We take care in making sure all campers know the pool rules and expectations while using the pools as it is important for everyone to be safe while having a great time cooling off! Sequoia's policy is that all non-swimmer campers must wear a flotation device during free swim and a wrist band of certain color to be easily identified. With so many campers and counselors in the pool at the same time, we feel this is best! A non-swimmer is a camper that cannot save themselves if they get in water over their head. Remember, they have been very active and hot by the time they have free swim. It is highly likely they will be tired.
Even though we will do a swim test of your child’s swimming ability level on the first day of camp, we would appreciate it if you would let us know ahead of time if your child is a non-swimmer. You can do this when your child’s counselor calls you before the start of camp and mark it on their application. We will need them to bring their flotation device with them each day so they can freely enjoy swimming alongside their counselors and friends.

Fun, Festive, Fantastic Fridays!
Every Friday is an extra special day at camp with field day activities and water slides. Campers should wear Sequoia Day Camp t-shirts on Fridays.
Family Fun Night
At 7:15, on the evening of the last day of camp, there is a family program where campers perform their skits, followed by an ice cream party, late night swim, roasted marshmallows (bring a hanger or good stick!), and an optional overnight camp-out. Parents are required to camp with their child. Tent set up can be done any time the day of the camp-out and you may break camp as early or as late as you like.
Don't forget your blanket or camp chairs!

Family Fun Night Dinners
Come early for our family picnic dinner, 6:15 to be exact! We offer a good old fashioned Fried Chicken picnic dinner. Cost is $5.00 per person. A super deal & a great way to start the evening.

Rainy Day Policy
If it rains, or the weather becomes severe, we will move camp to the club house for safe coverage. We will still hold camp each day, rain or shine! If you are concerned about weather and your child, please call/text Kim Sheridan, club manager, at 615-557-3632.
Swim/Dive Team
If your child is on the swim/dive team you may request they be taken to practice. However, please understand they will miss activities at camp to do so. There are afternoon practices available to accommodate missed morning practices.
Lunch / Snacks
Lunch is NOT included in the price of camp. Pack a non-perishable lunch each day. Please send water or juice with campers (no sodas). There will be ample water coolers for campers and they are encouraged to drink, drink, and drink! Campers are NOT allowed to go to the Concessions or Candy stands during camp hours.
