COVID-19 Vaccinations
We strongly recommend campers are vaccinated and boosted (if eligible) for the COVID-19 vaccine. Please upload your child’s COVID-19 vaccination card on your account with the most up-to-date information at least two weeks prior to arrival.
COVID-19 Testing
Testing will be a tool used to monitor the health of the camp community. Details will be announced as summer approaches.
COVID-19 Cases at Camp
A camper who tests positive for COVID-19 will be isolated and must be picked up within 12 hours. Unvaccinated campers that have had close contact with a person that tests positive will also be isolated and must be picked up within 12 hours. Campers who are up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccinations that have had close contact with a person that tests positive are not required to quarantine, therefore they can stay at camp if they remain without symptoms. No refunds will be issued for campers that are sent home due to COVID-19.
Stay Over Between Sessions
Campers registered for consecutive sessions are allowed to stay over between sessions 1 & 2 and sessions 3 & 4. There will be special activities and meals during this time. Campers may leave between sessions, departing on Saturday and arriving on Sunday with their unit group. If you are choosing this option, please contact the Camp Lawrence office at 603-279-6488 or Camp Nokomis office at 603-279-4918 during the camp season. We are requiring all campers to go off overnight between the first month and the second month (sessions 2 & 3), departing on Saturday and arriving on Sunday with their unit group.
Activity Selections
Activity selections will be emailed in June. If you have not done so already, we suggest to take this time to review the activity choices with your child available on our website at Camp Lawrence Activities or Camp Nokomis Activities. Each camper may choose four activities in order of preference.
Final Payments
Final payments are due by May 2, 2022. A $150 late fee will be charged if full payment is not received by May 2, 2022. Payments may be made on your account in Camp Brain or by calling the camp office at 978-975-1330. As a reminder, we accept American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover.
