Day Camp (Ages 7 – 12)
Information and rates below only pertain to Day Camp
Day Camp is for kids ages 7 – 12. Every week during the summer at Camp Arnold we host a Day Camp for the local children. This camp runs along side our resident camp programs and offers campers the chance to experience the camp atmosphere while still being able to return home for the evening. Each day is packed full of fun events that give campers the chance to play and have fun, but also experience God through chapel sessions and the great outdoors.
In order to reserve a spot for your camper to attend Day Camp, you will need to first pre-register them using the link below, pay a $25 per week registration fee and then complete an online application as soon as possible. Spots are given on a first come basis. In the event that a week fills, your camper may be put on a waiting list. Please contact our office at (253) 847-2511 for more information. Spots typically fill up fast.
The packet linked to below contains paperwork that needs to be filled out, signed, and brought to camp with your camper.

- Please remember that only approved persons, with proper ID, may pick children up from camp.
- It is best to provide written permission, in advance, to authorize someone to pick up your camper. Unless you tell us otherwise we will allow the person dropping a camper off to provide information on who may pick them up.
- Camp will assume, unless told otherwise, that a person dropping off a camper may also pick them up.
- If children need to be picked up early (prior to 5:30), please let the staff know at drop off, so your child will be ready. Children must be picked up by an authorized person.
Discipline Policy
To provide a safe and enjoyable environment that reflects Christian values, certain guidelines must be followed. If, for any reason, your child’s behavior is considered detrimental to the other campers or to the camp, he or she will be dismissed. You are responsible for providing transportation in the unlikely event of this disciplinary dismissal. Please note that no refund will be given for that weekly session.
