What's the difference between Stroudsburg and Dansbury camp?

Stroudsburg in in Stroudsburg Borough, and Dansbury is in East Stroudsburg Borough. Both sites both do the same activities throughout the camp calendar. There may be days where they swap resources, for example Stroudsburg may play volleyball on Monday and Dansbury on Tuesday, but each StroudKids camper, no matter the site, will have a comparable experience.

​

​

Can my child bring their phone or any personal items to camp?

Personal items such as phones, toys, or electronics are prohibited as they can get lost, stolen or damaged, be a distraction, and often create conflicts among campers. Camp has plenty of games and sporting equipment to keep your child active and socializing. If you feel that your child must have a phone for emergency purposes, the child must put their phone away during camp hours. If a phone or personal item is brought to camp and is stolen or damaged, we are not responsible.

​

What do I do if my child is sick?

Please do not bring a sick child to camp. Much like school, we will welcome your child back to camp when they are feeling better. We do not offer refunds for days missed due to sickness. If your child is no longer able to participate in camp for several weeks due to unexpected illness or injury, please call us right away so that we can work out a partial refund with you.

​

What if I am running late to pick up my child?

Pick-up time is between 2:45pm and 3:00pm. If you are running late, please let us know as soon as possible over the remind app, or by contacting the office at 570-426-1512. While we understand that unexpected things can happen, we need communication from you.

Camp staff will reach out to parents and emergency contacts of a child if they are not picked up by 3:00pm. Repeated and/or uncommunicated late pick-ups accrue a fee of $20 after 15 minutes, and an additional $20 per additional half hour. A camper cannot re-enter camp until fees are paid. If the child is not picked up within one hour, and we cannot get in touch with the parent to organize a timely pick-up, staff will have to call the Stroud Area Regional Police Department.

In contrast, if you give us a day's notice, the daily after care rate is only $12 per day.

​

What do I do if my child has a Nurse or BHT worker?

If your child requires an aid at school, they also require an aid at camp, as our counselors are not trained BHTs or nurses. Please work with the company who provides service to line up services for camp days. Please also give us as much information as possible about the Nurse or BHT worker who works with your child at school, so that we may reach out to them to better help your child succeed at camp. A form is required during registration. 

​

Can I sign up my child for one day of camp?

Camp sign up is weekly, and we cannot prorate you for only certain days of a week. If you only want your child to come to camp one or two days out of the week, you can let us know, but the price of the week will remain the same.

​

Can I pay for camp in installments?

Yes. If you are unable to pay for camp all up front, we can work with you on a payment plan. If you are paying the eight-week bundled price, we do require that it is paid in full by June 10, 2026. If you need the flexibility of paying week by week, then you may register for weekly camp (without the bundle discount).

​

If you have any more questions, answers may likely be outlined in our StroudKids Camp Guidelines. You may also ask our office further questions by calling 570-426-1512, or sending an email to recreation@srosrc.org.
