Are electronics allowed at camp?

We strongly encourage campers to leave all electronics at home, including cell phones, tablets, gaming devices, and smartwatches. Camp is a time to unplug, explore, and connect with others through hands-on activities and outdoor play.

– Their City of Fishers camp shirt (required daily)
– Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing
– Closed-toe shoes (like sneakers) for safety during games and activities
– Clothes that can get messy — we’ll be painting, crafting, and exploring!
– A hat or sunglasses for sunny days (optional but encouraged)
– Layers on cooler mornings, especially in spring or fall
Please label all clothing and personal items with your child’s name.

Are staff trained in CPR/First Aid?

Yes! All City of Fishers camp staff are certified in CPR and First Aid. Safety is our top priority, and our team is trained to respond quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency.

How are the campers grouped?

Campers are grouped by age to ensure they’re participating in activities that are safe, fun, and developmentally appropriate. Groupings may vary slightly depending on enrollment, but typically follow this structure:
– Ages 5–6
– Ages 7–9
– Ages 10–12
We do our best to create a positive group dynamic and can accommodate friend requests when possible—just let us know during registration!

What is the camper-to-staff ratio?

City of Fishers Camps follow the American Camp Association (ACA) guidelines for camper-to-staff ratios to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all campers. Our typical ratios are:
– 1 staff for every 6 campers (ages 5-6)
– 1 staff for every 8 campers (ages 7–8)
– 1 staff for every 10 campers (ages 9–14)
These ratios help us provide personalized attention, maintain safety, and create meaningful connections between campers and staff.
