Elodie Farms Summer Camp

Frequently Asked Questions

Back to the Camp Reservation  Page

Before the Camp begins you will be emailed specific information, but this may help answer some questions
in advance.  You can also see a copy of the Permission Form and the Registration Form you will be emailed after your
reservation deposit is processed.

Where is the Camp?   Just East of Bahama, NC, Elodie Farms is about 1/2 hour drive North of downtown Durham.  Click here for a map.

Is lunch / a snack included with the cost of the event?  Morning and afternoons snack will be provided each day.  Campers should bring their own "bag lunch".

When is final payment due?  If there is an outstanding balance 6 weeks prior to camp session start date, you will receive an invoice for final payment.  The balance must be PAID IN FULL NO LATER THAN 4 WEEKS before your session begins, or your spot and your deposit will be forfeited.

How does the "extra sibling discount" work?  After the first paid child, any siblings who attend the came will be charged a total fee of $275 ($50 deposit, $225 due) instead of $300 for the session.  This applies even if all siblings do not attend the same session of camp.

What time will the Camp begin?
  The Camp Session begins each day at 8:30 and campers should not be dropped off before 8:15 unless signed up for before-care.

How early does before-care start?  Morning care begins at 7:30 and campers should not be dropped off before this time.

How late can I pickup after camp?
  The Camp Session ends each day at 4:30 and campers should not be picked up later than that unless attending after-care.  THERE IS A $5 per 15 minutes LATE FEE for late pickup.

How late does after-care end?  Afternoon care ends at 6:00pm and campers should be picked up no later than this time.  THERE IS A $5 per 15 minutes LATE FEE for late pickup.

How do I reach my child in an emergency?  Call 919-479-4606 or 919-210-2860 if you need to pick your child up earlier than 4:15

What is your cell-phone/laptop/hand-held electronics policy?
  We need campers focused on the activities on the farm for their own educational goals and for their safety.  If you can not hold on to your child's phone during camp (for example if you are dropping off and someone else is picking up), we will have a cell-phone drop-box available at drop-off and pickup where we will keep any campers' phones safely during the session.  (See "How do I reach my child in an emergency?" if you are concerned about your child not having a phone handy).

How do I specify someone different to pick my child up from camp?  We can only release children to the parents / guardians listed on your registration forms unless you contact the Camp Director (919-210-2860) in advance.  No child will be released unless this is done.

Will I / When will I receive my forms and information?  You will receive an order confirmation followed later by a "Shipment confirmation" which states that your space(s) have been reserved.  Shortly after that you will receive your registration questionnaire and information via email from SummerCamp@ElodieFarms.com.  About six weeks before your session begins you will receive a statement of any remaining balance due and/or further information updates.

What if I need to cancel?  If your order for an initial deposit has not been processed, you can cancel it via Google checkout.  Once you have been confirmed for the Camp, you must contact the Camp Director (919-210-2860 or SummerCamp@ElodieFarms.com).  All deposits and fees paid will be refunded in full so long as you cancel at least 4 weeks prior to the beginning of your session.

What is appropriate attire?  Elodie Farms is a working farm, so appropriate attire is required.  "Work" clothes and old shoes (boots are good too) should be worn.  Please only closed foot ware- no flip flops or sandals.  Rain gear when needed, swim suits, towels, hats and sunscreen are encouraged.  You will be sent a more complete list after registration.

What if I have other questions?  Your order confirmation from Google checkout provides a method to send feedback - we'll do our best to reply to any questions.
