- We reserve the right to hold onto electronic devices (phones, watches, etc.) during camp hours if campers have them out for un-permitted use.
- Please keep in mind, this aligns with our local school district's policy, "Wireless Communications and Entertainment Devices may not be used during the school day. Devices should be stored out of sight with all alarms and alerts (including vibrating) disabled. The District is not liable for loss of or damage to devices at any time...Wireless Communication/Entertainment Device is confiscated and held in the office for parent/guardian to claim. Student may lose privilege of bringing device to school."
- LARGE, FULL** water bottle, labeled with the camper's name -- stay hydrated!!!
WEATHER / ENVIRONMENT:
- Rain/Storms: We will still play outside in the rain, as long as there is no lightning/thunder. We want kids to be kids -- some favorite memories from childhood are playing in the rain! As suggested above, please pack a rain jacket or poncho (store bought or converted trash bag with head/arm holes) and pack a trash bag in their backpack to keep belongings dry in the event of rain. If lightning/thunder occur, we will immediately go to the gym and stay 30 minutes beyond the last strike.
- Sun: We will be playing most activities on an open soccer field, so sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are highly recommended. We will seek shade between activities while we restroom, wash hands, rehydrate, and reapply.
- Ticks: We are outside all day, so please take a few minutes each night to check your camper(s) for ticks!

- Monday, campers should hand to the staff member at this time:
- completed Sandlot Emergency Medical Authorization form
- completed Sandlot Westerville Release/Waiver form
- medication (if applicable): in a plastic bag, labeled with camper’s name and emergency contact info
- EARLY DROP-OFF = anywhere between 8:00 - 8:45 AM for an additional cost of $25 CASH per camper, per week -- due in-person at Monday drop-off (spots are limited and must be reserved ahead).
- NORMAL DROP-OFF = 9:00 - 9:15 AM
- CURBSIDE: Parents/Guardians will NOT need to get out of their car (see drop-off/pick-up map above).
- Please expect Monday to be slow moving at pick-up and drop-off -- and please be patient!
- At drop-off, please pull forward until a staff member approaches your car to signal that your child(ren) can get out.
- If you have any questions that necessitate a longer conversation, please park and walk to us so we can keep the line moving.
- PICK-UP = 3:45-4:00, but the choice is yours:
- Feel free to wait your turn for curbside pick-up: it is helpful if you have a sign with your last name printed large, to hold up from your driver’s seat.
- Or, park and walk over to where your child(ren)'s team/coach is standing.
- Either way, please have your ID available upon request.
- If it is storming at pick-up/drop-off time, we may use at the entrance of KIRK HALL (again, see drop-off/pick-up map on our LOCATION page) -- again this would be a slower moving process, so please be patient. Thank you!
MISSION: BUILD CHARACTER THROUGH SPORTS AND GAMES!
- Sandlot Camp is designed to promote physical fitness while challenging personal growth in areas of character (sportsmanship, integrity, perseverance, and teamwork).
- Each day we use activities, challenges, and lessons to help teach these values.
- By the end of the week we want each camper to know what it truly means to be a leader, a reliable teammate, how to set goals and how to move forward to achieve their goals.
- We want every camper to realize that they are strong, important, and capable of accomplishing their dreams through hard work and perseverance.
- Every staff member is hand selected and they will put THEIR WHOLE HEART into YOUR kids!
- We LOVE what we do and want EVERYONE to have an enjoyable, positive, life-changing experience!!!
- There is no better joy in sports than just playing for the fun of it...we want to hear laughter and excitement!
- We want kids to know it is okay to make a mistake, even with best efforts, just learn from it and keep going...daily conversations!
- No one at camp is going pro tomorrow, but today we are meant to enjoy, and be thankful for, the abilities and opportunities placed in front of us!
- The lessons learned at Sandlot Camp will stay with these kids for a lifetime!!!
