CAMP
IMPORTANT FAQs FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
How does Camp Lyndon select its staff?
Counselors and instructors are selected for sound judgment, maturity, experience, camping skills, leadership skills, and their desire to work with children in the camping environment. Counselors come from a variety of backgrounds including human service majors in college, exemplary high school students, and campers who have gone through our C.I. T. program. All staff must pass reference and criminal background checks.
What type of training does the staff have?
All staff undergoes a minimum 3-day orientation that covers a variety of topics that include counseling skills, team building, programming, conflict resolution, and sensitive issues such as child abuse and neglect. The aquatic staff is certified lifeguards and undergo a 3-day training specific to our facility. Senior staff and specialty staffs are CPR and First Aid certified. Ropes directors are certified by trained professionals.

What medical information does the camp need?
A copy of the health history form is attached in this brochure. Under Massachusetts State Law, each camper must have a recent physical and immunization form, signed by a licensed physician, on file prior to attending camp. We require each camper to have a physical dated within 2 years prior to admission. Current physical and immunization records from your child’s school are acceptable. Completed health forms must be in our files before your child may be registered for camp.
Do you offer financial assistance?
Thanks to generous donations from YMCA families, staff, camp alumni, and friends, funds are available to those who may not be able to afford a camp experience for their child. Confidential campership applications are available on request and must be submitted by June 1, 2021. For more information please contact, (508) 362-6500 x 1250.
What happens if my child gets sick at camp?
The care of mildly ill campers, administration of medications, and emergency care is overseen by a registered nurse who is on-site daily. A pediatric physician is available during camp hours to provide consultation or emergency care. Based on the emergency contact provided, a parent or guardian will be contacted if the child needs to leave camp because of sickness.
What should my child bring to camp?
Every day, campers should bring a bathing suit (girls 12 years and older need to wear a one piece suit), towel, a non-perishable bag lunch, sunscreen, bug spray, and a water bottle from home. Campers should not bring cell phones, sandals, flip-flops or open-toe shoes, video games, iPods, or other music players. Camp Lyndon and/or its’ staff are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
How is the camp licensed?
Camp Lyndon is licensed by the Department of Public Health and follows all state camp regulations. Our ropes course is inspected on an annual basis.
What happens if it rains or when it is extremely hot and humid?
In the case of thunder, lightning, and torrential downpours, all campers are brought inside. In the case of light rain or extreme heat, we try to continue all activities outdoors utilizing pavilion and tent areas, however, ropes course, archery, and other activities may be closed and campers moved to alternate activities/locations. We do request that you prepare your camper with clothes/gear for all weather. Camp leadership staff will make decisions during inclement weather to ensure safety for all campers.
