What is the camp’s mission and philosophy?
Kehoe-France Summer Camp provides a safe, supportive, and fun environment that fosters teamwork, social skills, exploration, and personal growth while encouraging confidence, independence, and a deeper understanding of the world.

What safety measures are in place?
Our 14-acre campus is fully enclosed with a fence, and buildings have controlled access. Counselors are selected for their character and ability to create a safe, supportive environment for campers.

What is the camper-to-counselor ratio?
Our camper-to-counselor ratio varies by age group. PreK–Kindergarten groups maintain an 8:1 ratio, while 1st–8th grade groups have a 10:1 ratio. Each group has a lead and an assistant counselor.

How are staff members screened and trained?
All staff undergo an interview process and background check (18+) before hiring. They also complete training on policies, procedures, and safeguarding to ensure a safe and supportive camp environment.

Is there a daily schedule, and can you provide an example?
Campers enjoy swim, playground time, and group activities daily. They also rotate through culinary, technology, sports, tennis, arts, ceramics, and more. Weekly highlights include Pow Wows and in-house field trips.

Are there opportunities for free play or downtime?
Campers have daily opportunities for free play and downtime, including playground time, group activities, and relaxed transitions between rotations, ensuring a balance of structured fun and unstructured exploration.

How does the camp handle health issues and allergies?
Our camp prioritizes health and safety by having an on-site nurse and maintaining detailed medical notes. All group leads and pool staff are required to be CPR/First Aid certified.

Are there opportunities for parents to visit or participate in camp activities?
Parents are welcome to join us on Fridays for Pow Wow and other special events like the talent show, providing opportunities to join in the camp experience with their children.
