Health
Camper Health Forms are completed during the online registration process and MUST be completed in FULL. By registering online, your child’s health information will only need to be updated each year. All participants MUST have a completed and signed HEALTH FORM at check-in.
Food Allergies
Camp Dixie provides quality meals. Parents may request a copy of the menu 2 weeks prior to arrival and send along food to supplement campers with special diets, i.e. gluten free, vegan, etc. In this case, campers need to manage any substitutions on their own, so make sure your food is clearly labeled. Please contact the office before registering online.
Medications & Immunizations
Staff are trained for managing and dispensing prescribed medications to campers as well as attending to any cuts and scrapes. You will be asked to list medications, including vitamins, during the online registration process. While we recommend you follow health guidelines, your child does not need to have the immunizations to attend camp.
Other Special Needs
Camp Dixie has a Christ-centered and dynamic college aged staff; ideal for children and youth capable of participating in songs and activities within a small group of 10-12 people and a large group of 60-70 people. Camp Dixie is not positioned to provide specialized staff for children and youth who require one-on-one care. Please contact the office with any questions.
