A summer at Camp Coconuts is much more than just a summer at camp. It’s an Experience – filled with learning new skills, making friends, and taking on adventures! It’s making noticeable gains in physical, emotional, and social development. It’s being immersed in a day camp environment dedicated to personal growth, friendship, and FUN!

Each week campers enjoy exciting age-appropriate programming taught by our team of talented specialists. Every group has its own balanced mix of programming favorites! Some of those awesome activities include Red Cross swim lessons, free swimming, water inflatable obstacle course, GaGa, martial arts, science & nature, music, adventure, the arts, ceramics, athletics, archery, trips off-site, special event theme days, AND MORE! Our programming balance allows our campers to develop their passions and discover the fun in new experiences!

What are your minimum requirements for camp registration?
A camper’s session can range anywhere from 3 to 10 weeks. Our minimum requirement is 3 weeks of attendance for our 5-day program and 5 weeks or more for our 4 & 3-day enrollment options. We recommend campers attend for at least 4 weeks. This provides your child/children adequate time to become part of the Camp Coconuts community and develop strong, meaningful relationships with other campers and our Coaches.

Our youngest campers are four years old and entering preschool (they MUST be potty trained); our oldest campers are 14 years old.

How many team members supervise each group?
We maintain a minimum ratio of 1:8 for our older campers and 1:5 for our younger campers. Each group is supervised by a Head Coach (college age or older), Junior Coach (high school juniors or seniors), and Counselor in Training. Camper Leaders in Training (LITs) also assist with camper’s activities but are not included in the supervision ratio. Groups max out around 20 campers. Larger groups will have more coaches.

Who teaches the daily camp activities?
Activities such as Red Cross swim lessons, martial arts, ropes, arts and crafts, sports and games, archery, music, theater, and dance are led by qualified adults with the training, certifications, and/or teaching & professional experience in their focus area.
 

What activities will campers do during inclement weather days (rainy, hot, humid, and hazy)?
In the event of inclement weather, we have secondary schedules for groups. On some rainy days, we can arrange impromptu excursions. Impromptu excursions will have an additional cost; however, they are also optional. We aim to keep the additional cost low when choosing an impromptu excursion.

Excursions…that’s right weekly trips?
Enroll your camper in our weekly excursions! By enrolling your camper, they will attend one age-appropriate excursion each week. Campers must bring their lunch on all scheduled excursions unless otherwise specified. We will notify families if a group lunch option is offered on a trip day.

Do you offer a Leader in Training Program?
Our LIT program is designed to allow mature 13 and 14-year-old campers to experience camp in an assistant leadership role. LITs will participate in this role for half of the camp day. This program requires the individual to be patient with children and desire to be in a leadership training role. While no prior experience is necessary, our LITs will work under the supervision of our coaches, assisting them with daily activities. Prospective candidates can apply online at campcoconuts.com. LITs will receive a discount on summer tuition for participation and acceptance into the program.

Leader in Training - LIT

The purpose of the Leader in Training (LIT) program is to develop character, leadership skills, and the knowledge needed to be an effective role model. Our animated, motivational, and responsible leaders will guide our young teens to being the most ideal camp counselor. Our trained staff will provide the LIT with unique challenges that will be demonstrated through laughter, teamwork, and problem-solving. We focus on each individual’s strengths, driving them to reach goals for themselves and their peers. We strongly believe any young teen deserves the chance to utilize the vital life skills we practice throughout our program. This training will prepare our candidates for the full-fledged CIT program when they apply at age 15.

The LIT must be at least 13 years of age. An enrolled camper accepted into the LIT program will receive a 10% discount year 1 and a 20% LIT discount year 2 off their camp tuition. An LIT will receive a CPR/AED & First Aid certification, in addition to community service hours! LIT's are brought through an interview to introduce the process; we encourage candidates to get involved through every step of the way (online application, scheduling of interview & independently attending the interview) as for we create a non-intimidating atmosphere to enhance their work ethic and provide the confidence and practice they need for future endeavors. Our program is offered throughout the season and requires at least a five-week commitment.
