- Rain jacket or poncho for popup showers -- we may play in the rain, just not lightning/thunder!!!
- Trash Bag to keep belongings dry in the event of rain (i.e., bag up their whole backpack!)
- Kona Ice cup? -- their truck will come during Friday's lunch and all campers will receive a small shaved ice (if permitted by parent/guardian), but you could upgrade the size if you bring your Kona Ice cup from a previous purchase!
- Please have students leave electronics at home -- Sandlot Westerville, CCC, WCS, RAC, etc. are not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen items!
- We understand that some families feel more comfortable with their child having a device for emergencies purposes and are willing to risk damage/lost/stolen devices for their own peace of mind; however, please understand staff should immediately be notified in the event of injury, illness, discomfort, etc. -- a parent/guardian would obviously be contacted by staff!
- We reserve the right to hold onto electronic devices (phones, watches, etc.) if campers are utilizing them during camp hours.
- Please keep in mind, families should be familiar with this rule, as it aligns with Ohio Revised Code which prohibits students from carrying electronic communications devices during school hours.
- 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, re-hydrate, and reapply.
- Ticks: We are outside for hours each day, so please take a few minutes each night to check your camper(s) for ticks!

DROP-OFF and PICK-UP procedures (details/maps on our Location page):
- 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 do NOT need to get out of their car.
- If you have any questions that necessitate a longer conversation, please park and walk to us so we can keep the line moving.
- During Monday's drop-off, please pull forward until a staff member approaches your vehicle to check-in your child(ren): make sure you're at the correct location, we have updated contact info, deliver any medications, etc.
- Medication (if applicable) should be handed to directly the staff member (in a plastic bag, labeled with camper’s name and emergency contact info).
- Please expect Monday to be slow moving at pick-up and drop-off -- and please be patient!
- CURBSIDE: Parents/Guardians do NOT need to get out of their car.
- 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!!!
General Information:
- On Monday, every camper is placed on a team for the week, with their friends and/or siblings, per their choice.
- For the duration of the week, teams earn points by winning competitions, demonstrating good character, wearing team colors, showing team spirit, etc.
- Each team has a coach who assists them during all competitions, field trips, lunch, etc.
- Camp always ends with Championship Friday, where awards are presented based team point totals!
- 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 during camp hours.
- We will also be posting photos of camp on our Facebook page (Sandlot Camp Westerville) -- like/join our page to follow your camper!
