Drop-Off: you will obviously need to attend check-in with your kid(s) on Monday; however, on Tuesday-Friday you will be asked to please pull into the parking lot between the pool and tennis courts, drop-off at the gate and keep traffic flowing (see map on our Location page). If it is raining, drop-off and/or pick-up, we will be in the WJC Pool's "Lodge".
EARLY BIRD DROP-OFF: beginning no earlier than 8:00 AM for an additional cost of $25 per camper, per week (paid in-person on the first day of camp, check or cash). Early bird spots are limited and must be reserved early.
A typical day includes:
8:00-9:00 = early bird drop-off ($25/camper/week)
9:00-9:15 = drop-off, attendance, camp meeting (lesson/theme of the day).
9:15-11:30 = field games/activities* at Westerville Jaycee Pool.
11:30-12:00 = lunch (please pack a lunch for your camper each day) and socialize.

3:45-4:00 = parent/guardian pick-up.
Pick-Up: you will need to park, walk and pick-up your kid(s) in person (with identification ready).
Busing for field trips is contracted to Westerville City Schools and scheduled to return around 3:30 PM to begin parent/guardian pick-up.
*Our morning and Resolute games/activities will largely be unfamiliar to the campers, which helps level the playing field and prove every camper's value (brains and/or brawn) to their team, such as: Galaxy Ball, Capture the Critter, Four Corners, Dodgeball, Mission Impossible, Cardio Kickball, Talent Show, Rock/Paper/Scissor Football, Space Invaders, Mouse Trap, Silent Seat Ball, Human Guess Who, various team-building activities/challenges and many more. These activities are selected because they are engaging to all ages and ability levels and produce opportunities to challenge/grow new skills while showing their strengths!

General Information:
- On the first day of camp, every camper is placed on a team for the week, with their friends and/or siblings, per their choice.
- Once formed, each team will be split into two "divisions" (1st-3rd and 4th-8th) for developmentally appropriate competitions!
- Kids will compete in challenges/games within their own division, but every team member can earn points.
- Think little league games -- the divisions will rotate on and off the field for play/rest every few minutes.
- For the duration of the week, campers/teams earn points by winning competitions, demonstrating good character, wearing team colors, showing team spirit, etc.
- Each team has a coach (licensed teacher) who assists them during competitions, field trips, lunch, etc.
- Camp always ends with Championship Friday, where awards are presented based team point totals!
- We will tell the kids and post on our Facebook page (Sandlot Camp Westerville), at the end of each day, where we will be the following day so they will know whether or not to bring swim wear/towel.
- We are an outdoor camp, so please take a few minutes each night to check your camper for ticks!
- If you need to get a hold of us for any reason DURING CAMP, please CALL or TEXT Eric Indiciani (Director) -- he will have his phone with him at all times, but typically does not look at email or Facebook messages.
- We will also be posting videos and pictures of camp on our Facebook page (Sandlot Camp Westerville) each day -- like/join our page to follow your camper!
What to bring MONDAY:
- Sandlot Emergency Medical Authorization form (link)
- Sandlot Westerville Release/Waiver form (link)
- Medications (labeled with camper's name, instructions and an emergency contact/phone number):
- Please hand any medications directly to Eric Indiciani (Director).
What to bring EACH DAY:
- ENTHUSIASM and SMILE
- Socks, Tennis Shoes and comfortable Play Clothes (Hat and/or Sunglasses too?)
- LARGE, FULL water bottle, labeled with the camper's name -- stay hydrated!!!
- Sunscreen (please apply before camp and bring more for reapplication during the day if needed -- camp staff can only help spray, but cannot rub sunscreen on children!)
- Packed Lunch (we suggest you use an insulated lunchbox with an icepack)
- Pool Towel
- Swim Suit
- On chilly mornings, please send a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt with your camper.
- Backpack to keep all of your belonging together
- Signed note if someone NOT on your original list is picking up your kid(s) -- we will call to confirm if not delivered in person by a parent/guardian!
- You may also send a couple dollars if you would like, as the WJC Pool has a concession stand that opens at 12:00 (optional, at parent/guardian discretion) -- camp staff is not responsible for keeping track of, or holding, money for campers.
- Please have students leave electronics at home -- Sandlot Westerville, WJC Pool, WCS Transportation, and Resolute Athletic Complex are not responsible for damaged, lost or stolen items!
Inclement weather?
- Camp will continue rain or shine!
- During inclement weather we can utilize the pool's "lodge" and indoor pool areas -- we have plenty of fun, indoor activities up our sleeves!
- We also have flexibility to trade afternoon activities and timing of trips to match a long, washout forecast.
- The adjacent tennis courts gives us another play space option when soggy/muddy conditions keep us off of the grass when it is not actively storming.
