Activities

Activities of EastRidge Camps will have a rotation of activities that include physical activities in the gym and parking lot, devotions and snacks. As with all camps, there is an elevated risk of injuries, bruises and accidents, however the protection and safety of the children are our primary concern, and we have trained and screened volunteers and staff to minimize the risk and oversee the program.

Nut-Free Environment

At EastRidge, we encourage and promote a nut-free environment. The snacks we serve will be nut-free. Parents are discouraged from sending products that contain nuts/peanuts and nut oils to the program. As much as we take great precaution, we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. 

We would ask parents to communicate any concerns with us prior to and during camp.
