RULES AND REQUESTS

RULES AND REQUESTS

Phone Calls

Please know it is difficult to have campers receive phone calls during their stay at Oceanwood due to the nature of our property and the involvement of campers in various activities throughout the day and evening. However, we are pleased to visit with you by phone should you wish to inquire about your camper. You may call the office at Oceanwood.

Visitors and Guests

Security is a priority at Oceanwood. Although visitors are welcomed at camp, we discourage visitation during the camp session, as this disrupts the activities and the camper's daily schedule. If you need to visit your camper, please inform the office of your visit and upon arrival sign in at the office so you can be welcomed and recognized on the property as a guest.

Oceanwood offers campers, and their providers, the opportunity to visit camp on Sunday, May 29 during our Open House Preview Day from 12:00 to 3:00pm. This event is a great time to enjoy lunch on us, tour the facilities, and have your questions answered by our caring staff.

• The following items are NOT permitted on the campgrounds: Alcohol, drugs, firearms, fireworks, flammables, and pets.
• For safety reasons, smoking is permitted ONLY in designated areas.

We wish to provide a safe, caring camp session to all campers, therefore it is critical that we have a complete picture of all medical, behavioral, and social needs of the camper from those who know them best.

• You may deposit money into the store account, order photos or DVD's.
• The nurse will be available to review medications (including PRN's) and other needs or concerns.

On Friday of the camp session, you will need to arrive at camp at 1:30 PM to pick up your camper. Please go directly to where your camper stayed during the week. A parent, guardian, or previously designated person MUST sign the check-out form. Extra store money, the camp photo, and any leftover medications will be returned to you.
