Exceptions may apply to children registered before a deadline but have a scholarship application pending approval. These exceptions are to be determined by a manager on a case-by-case basis.

If you should need to cancel registration for Sports Camp, you may do so at any time. Any refund provided will be based on the amount already paid, the date the cancelation is requested, and the balance due. 

Cancelation/Refund Dates:
100%- Cancelation requests made before or on April 30, 2025 will receive a 100% refund.
50%- Cancelation requests made between May 1, 2025, and May 14, 2025 will receive a 50% refund. 
Any cancelations made on or after May 15, 2025, will not receive a refund.* Are these dates correct?

*If you must cancel any week of camp after May 15, 2025, due to extenuating circumstances, you may be eligible for a refund. A committee of Kroc managers and administrators will decide on a case-by-case basis if a refund is permissible. A $20 processing fee will be withheld from any registration refunded due to extenuating circumstances. If this applies to you, please submit your reason by email to Erin May.

We do not have a registered nurse on staff, therefore, we can only administer life-saving medication such as an Epi-Pen or Inhaler. We can not administer other medication.

You don't have to be a member to register for camp. It is available to everyone regardless of location or income.

Sports Camp will provide daily breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Our food program follows the guidelines set forth by the USDA so campers receive healthy, well-balanced meals every day. The Dayton Kroc Center staff pride ourselves on the quality of our food service and we're confident meal times will be one of your child’s favorite activities.

Before assuming job responsibilities, the camp staff attend pre-camp staff training. This training includes, but is not limited to:

• The Salvation Army Church mission and doctrines
• The Kroc Center purpose statement and intended impact
• Effective leadership and communication techniques
• Developmental needs of campers to be served
• Introduction to diversity and inclusion
• Camp activities and daily schedule
• Safety considerations, skills progression, competencies and risk management required for program activities
• Age-appropriate behavior management and camper supervision techniques to help create a physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually healthy camp environment
• Sensitive issue training
• Certification in first-aid, CPR and AED
• Electronic behavior management, incident, injury, illness online completion and submission
• Recognition, prevention, and reporting of child abuse
• Emergency procedures and staff member’s role in implementation
• Appropriate use of technology
• Resources to engage campers throughout the camp day

We strive to make our program accessible for ALL children. Unfortunately, the Kroc Center cannot provide specialized one-to-one care for any individual child. Children are accepted on a case-by-case basis and are required to function within our program ratios.

If your child needs a camp to meet their special need, below are some resources to help you find the right camp.

• Dayton Children's Camp Resource
• United Rehabilitation Services of Greater Dayton

We cannot promise that a child will be placed in the same group as his/her friends. There are various factors that play into how the camp groups are selected, potentially impacting which group your child is placed in. Camp is a great time for kids to make new friends, so even if they aren't in the same group as their already existing friends, they will still create new and fun relationships with their group mates.

Sports Camp will not have any field trips. It is offered the weeks before and after Camp Kroc.
