Registration is OPEN for camps in June & July 2020.
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Thank you for your support and patience as we move forward with camp this summer. Our team has worked hard to implement all mandatory and best practice recommendations in order to meet Federal, State and Local health protocols. We have put in many hours of research and spoken with several medical and recreational professionals regarding how to design our daily schedule and routines, to make it both safe and fun for every camper! Several changes were made to meet these new guidelines and what we feel is the best way to keep all families safe.
CAMP SETUP:
LOCATION CHANGE:
MASKS / PRECAUTIONS:
No FIELD TRIPS in 2020:
Again, we are committed to providing a safe and fun environment! If you have any questions or concerns please email or call anytime. We know Sandlot Camps will look different this summer, but we are always looking for ways to change things up and create new experiences for the campers -- this simply helped us get creative in different ways so we can all adapt and overcome TOGETHER! Thank you again for your patience and support!

Thank you for your support and patience as we move forward with camp this summer. Our team has worked hard to implement all mandatory and best practice recommendations in order to meet Federal, State and Local health protocols. We have put in many hours of research and spoken with several medical and recreational professionals regarding how to design our daily schedule and routines, to make it both safe and fun for every camper! Several changes were made to meet these new guidelines and what we feel is the best way to keep all families safe.
CAMP SETUP:
- Although we are an outdoor camp, we are following the indoor guidelines for grouping.
- On Monday morning, we will help the kids separate into leagues/teams.
- Each league will consist of 4 teams to compete against throughout the week.
- Each camper will be part of a team of ≤9 campers for the week.
- To build camaraderie, team members will pick a team name and color.
- Wearing a team color shirt Tuesday-Thursday is highly encouraged!
- To build camaraderie, team members will pick a team name and color.
- Leagues will rotate through different game/activity/challenge stations, throughout each morning and afternoon session.
- Between each station, equipment and hands will be sanitized/washed.
- Equipment will be sanitized using a bleach solution: 1/3 cup of bleach per 3/4 gallon of water (per CDC guidelines).
LOCATION CHANGE:
- Camp will now be held at Central College Christian Academy (CCCA)
- 975 S. Sunbury Rd, Westerville, OH 43081 -- 3.5 miles from our previous location at WJC Pool.
- The benefit of relocating is 100% based on safety as our #1 priority!
- We will be staying on-site at CCCA all week, which offers a larger field space for our activities, a full size gymnasium as an indoor option to maintain social distancing requirements in the event of a popup thunderstorm, and allows us to isolate our campers from non-campers (swim/dive teams, open swim patrons, locker/restrooms, etc).
- See the drop-off/pick-up map on our “Location” page for details.
MASKS / PRECAUTIONS:
- As an outdoor camp, we will not be making campers wear masks; however, please let us know if you would like your child to wear one. In the event that we will have to move indoors as a whole group, because of inclement weather, we will do everything we can to keep campers appropriately spaced throughout in the gym, so masks are not required.
- Regardless, please pack a mask with each camper's belongings in the event of unforeseen circumstances (tornado warning, etc).
- We ask that during your week(s) of camp, you try and keep your camper at home each night -- if you take them out and about they could bring new germs into our camp population.
- Additionally, it is recommended that you keep your camper away from people ≥65-years-old and anyone with health issues, throughout their camp week and for 14-days thereafter.
No FIELD TRIPS in 2020:
- Recommended best practice = NO field trips, due to confined space on buses.
- While this was a very difficult decision because the management team at Westerville Jaycee Pool has been amazing to work with, has implemented all necessary precautions, it removes our ability to swim in the afternoons, and takes away the scuba experience as an option.
- The same can be said for the Resolute Athletic Complex -- although it is an excellent facility that is going above and beyond to maintain a safe environment for their patrons, and provides plenty of space for our activities, the bus situation prevents us from going there as well.
- Rest assured, we are determined to make sure that removing field trips does not take away from the integrity of our camp experience and look forward to partnering with these facilities again in the future!
Again, we are committed to providing a safe and fun environment! If you have any questions or concerns please email or call anytime.
