What to Expect

Owanyake Day Campers share the same fun and adventurous experiences as overnight campers and can still spend the night at home. The day will be filled with making new friends and trying new things; campers will spend the day outdoors exploring out 176 acre facility. At Camp Fire, it’s more than just activities and play. All programs are outcome based. With a safe and supportive environment, children can fully engage in activities, are provided with leadership opportunities and are supported in lifting their voice. Youth are encouraged to explore their natural sense of curiosity and find their own sparks.

Drop Off and Pick Up

Morning Drop-Off is between 7:30 am and 8:00 am. To ensure a proper welcome and appropriate supervision upon your arrival, campers will not be admitted before 7:30 am. Afternoon Pick-Up is between 5:00 pm and 5:45 pm. All authorized persons (including parents) must show valid identification at pick-up each day. We understand you may need to pick up your child early for certain reasons. Camp activities take place across 176 acres. In order to maintain appropriate supervision ratios in activities, we ask that campers requiring early check-out be picked up between 1:00 pm and 1:15 pm.

Tours of Camp Toccoa/Camp Owanyake are not available during check in/check out. Our staff will be occupied welcoming campers and their families. Parents and other guests are not permitted to take a self-guided tour at this time

What to Bring

The following items are suggested to ensure a safe and comfortable camp experience for your camper. Please do not send new or expensive clothing. Camp Owanyake activities take place outdoors; our hope is for campers to enjoy the freedom of not worrying about stains or the impact of “Georgia Red Clay!” Each item is to be clearly marked with permanent marker or sewn-on tags including the camper’s first and last name. Camp Toccoa is not responsible for loss or damage to personal items/equipment. The following are required items each day:

• Tennis shoes and socks
• Backpack
• Raincoat or poncho
• Bathing suit (All campers are required to wear a modest swimsuit that allows them to freely participate in all activities.)
• Towel
• Sunblock (non- aerosol)
• Change of clothes
• Hard plastic or metal water bottle
• 1 snack (fruit or an individually wrapped item that does not contain nuts)

Meals/Snack

Breakfast and lunch are provided each day as part of the registration fee. If your camper has special dietary needs, food allergies, or is a vegetarian you will find space to provide this information on their health history form. We ask that parents do not send food to camp with their campers other than an afternoon snack. Snacks may be a piece of fruit or an individually wrapped item that does not contain nuts.

Medical Forms

Day Camp staff have been trained in CPR and First Aid. In the event of sickness, fever, or injuries that require medical attention the parent will be notified and asked to pick the participant up early from the event. Each camper is required to have a new medical form in order to attend. Forms from previous summers and programs will not be accepted. The form is due prior to your camper’s participation in programming. Forms can be mailed to Camp Fire Georgia / Medical Form at 92 Camp Toccoa Drive, Toccoa GA 30577. A new medical form is required each year. Camp Fire Camp Toccoa does not accept emailed or faxed medical forms.

Payments & Refunds

We carefully plan each session of camp for maximum fun. We understand that your schedule may change but our staffing and meal arrangements are finalized based on projected attendance. With that in mind, please read our refund policies carefully.

• Credit card is the only form of payment accepted by Camp Fire Camp Toccoa.
• All registrations require a non-refundable deposit of $68.75 (Owanyake Day Camp) per session. The deposit will be automatically charged to the card on file at the time of registration. The remaining balance for the session will be automatically charged 45 days before the beginning of the session.
• All deposits are non-refundable. Deposits are only transferable to another session if space is available. Deposits may not be transferred to the balance of fees for another session in which another deposit has been paid.
• Any changes or cancellations/refund requests must be received via email (info@campfirega.org) at least three weeks before the session’s start date. If you cancel your camper’s registration more than 21 days before your camper is due to arrive for camp, we will issue a refund of 50% of any payments made, less the non-refundable deposit.
• Refunds will not be given within 21 days of the session’s start date unless accompanied by a doctor’s note. We will do our best to accommodate any changes requested but cannot guarantee availability.
• There will be no fee reduction or reimbursement for absences or early pick-up due to illness, family emergencies, vacation, summer school, unexpected visits from relatives, or any other reason.
• There will be no fee reduction or reimbursement for changes in programming on our part. All decisions to change programming are made with the best interest of the camper’s safety and experience in mind.
• If a camper is sent home once a session starts, there will be no refund or reduction in fees.

**Space permitting, camp sessions can be purchased up to two weeks out. Any sessions purchased less than 45 days before the session starts must be paid in full.

Camperships:

Camp Fire Georgia has available funds designated for camperships (grants) to help boys and girls attend camp. Each year Camp Fire Georgia raises funds through donations by individuals, organizations, and businesses to provide financial assistance for children whose families are financially unable to send them to camp.
