A Day at Camp

CND campers are placed in groups based upon their age and move throughout the day in a rotating schedule. While each day will be the same schedule, different activities based around the week's theme.

CND families and friends will be emailed a session calendar listing activities that will be provided throughout that session and important dates to note.

CAMP NOTRE DAME HANDBOOK (PDF)

Daily Items to Bring to Camp

  • Comfortable clothing (t-shirt, shorts)
  • Socks and sneakers (no flip-flop, sandals, or Crocs--can bring these for pool use only)
  • Goggles
  • Water bottle labeled with first and last name (will be refilled throughout the day)
  • Bathing suit(s) (plastic grocery bag to keep wet suit in)
  • Towel
  • Tote/Book Bag to carry all items
  • Packed lunch (Please note we are not nut-free camp; however, we do have campers with peanut, nut and other food allergies)
  • Sunscreen (to be applied prior to start of camp day)

Camp Attire & Equipment

No uniform is required. Campers should wear comfortable clothing suitable for play (t-shirt and shorts) as well as socks and sneakers. Sandals and Crocs are acceptable for pool time, but campers will be playing outdoors and will need to wear appropriate shoes for safety and comfort throughout the day.

Campers will need to bring goggles, a bathing suit and towel daily for swimming. It is a good idea to provide your child with either a tote bag or book bag to carry all of these items during camp, as there is not a storage location for each individual camper.

Sports equipment will be provided. Each camper receives a CND t-shirt during the first week they attend camp.

Meals and Snacks

Please send lunch daily with your camper(s) with the camper's first and last name written clearly on the outside of the bag. CND will provide a daily snack, so please note any allergies during the online registration form.

Technology Policy

Camp Notre Dame strongly encourages campers to leave all electronics and technology devices, including, but not limited to, cell phones, tablets, and gaming devices, at home. Camp provides an opportunity for a "different kind of engagement" where campers learn to interact with other campers and develop other skills and experiences beyond technology.

Campers move throughout the day in their groups to different activities around the University campus, including the pool and outdoor activities with water components (i.e., water balloon toss) where electronics might be damaged or lost. We appreciate all CND families, friends, and campers adhering to this policy!
