Camp Fees
A registration fee of $100.00 is required with each application. The fee is non-efundable should the camper not attend camp. The total fee is to be paid in full before the camper is accepted in camp.
Payments can be made using Visa, Mastercard, Discover Card, money orders and or certified checks.
No personal checks will be accepted. Camp Victory Lake strongly recommends the full session to all intended campers, since it is our objective to help our campers to develop and foster lasting relationships with each other.
Meals
Meals served to campers are all vegetarian meals. The meals are well-balanced and sumptiously prepared for the developing child. Controlling the consumption of sweets is our preference, therefore we suggest that families minimize the amount of sweets sent to the campers.
HEALTH & SAFETY
The health and safety of the camper is of paramount concern to each staff member. Each camper must have a physical examination within one month prior to arriving at camp. A copy of this examination must be sent ahead or brought to the camp when the camper arrives.
No camper will be accepted without a current physcial. The campers must be up to date with his or her immunizations, this includes a Tetanus Booster shot. For safety resons, a recent photograph of your child should accompany his or her application.
TELEPHONE CALLS
Since it is the goal of Camp Victory Lake to provide an atmosphere of independence and personal development for each camper, we strongly discourage incoming and outgoing camper calls. This does not apply in cases of emergency. If the staff feels that receiving a call from home will enhance the camping experience of a camper, that avenue will be used without hesitation. We highly recommend that parents write to their campers instead of calling on the telephone. For business calls to Camp Victory Lake, please call 845-229-8851. For the Nurses Station, call (845)229-9408.
Cellular telephones should not be in the possession of any camper.
