Where will I sleep?
Each school group will be assigned one private teacher apartment, which includes a bathroom, shower, kitchenette with a small refrigerator, loft area, and small living space with a futon. Each apartment can comfortably sleep up to three adults.
Where will the students sleep?
Our site at Camp Ocean Pines has ten straw-bale construction cabins named for different scientists, artists, and environmentalists and painted with beautiful murals. Each cabin sleeps ten people, is equipped with a heater, and includes both an indoor bathroom and indoor shower. You will be assigned a set number of cabins based on the number of students you bring and will be responsible for providing at least one parent chaperone for each cabin. The total capacity in the cabins is 98 people (including chaperones.)
Do you provide linens?
We do not provide linens. Each person will need to bring a pillow and sleeping bag or bedding for a twin mattress.
What type of meals are provided?
Our chef plans out balanced and nutritious kid-friendly meals with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Guests consistently rave about our food. Just check out our Yelp reviews! We ask that teachers notify us of any vegetarians, vegans, food allergies, etc. in your group at least three weeks prior to the start of your program. This allows the kitchen to plan out options for these individuals.
Do you have a nurse onsite?
We do not employ a nurse during the school year. All of our staff members are First Aid/CPR certified and camp is kept fully stocked with general first aid equipment (band-aids, alcohol wipes, anti-bacterial ointment, gauze, etc.). The handing out of prescription and over-the-counter medications is the responsibility of the teachers.
Can I get cell phone reception at camp?
Students are expected to leave their cell phones at home. For teachers and adult chaperones: cell reception is very spotty at camp. Depending on your provider, you may be able to send and receive texts but will have difficulty making calls.
Is there wireless internet at camp?
Wi-fi is available for throughout camp, but students should not have devices to access the wi-fi. Only teachers and chaperones are allowed to use cell phones.
What is the weather like?
Weather in Cambria can be very unpredictable. Some days are chilly and foggy, some are warm and sunny, and often we get both of those in one day! Temperatures also drop into the 50s at night, so everyone should be prepared with clothes for warm weather, cold weather, rain, and everything in between.
