Family Handbook

Dear Camp Kingswood families,

Welcome to Summer 2024! This page of our website will guide you toward all the information you need for camp this summer. The tiles below represent sections of our 2024 Family Handbook, organized digitally for your convenience. If you’re a paper person, you can download and print the PDF version linked above. 

We’re so excited to have your kids with us at Kingswood this summer! While kids experience overnight camp away from their parents, at Camp Kingswood, we consider a camper’s entire family part of our camp community, and we deeply value our partnership with you. We are committed to working closely, respectfully, and responsively with our camp families. We take pride in our relationships, and we appreciate the support we receive from parents both during camp and throughout the year. 

Your reinforcement of everything in this Handbook is a great way to show that support! We appreciate your alignment on all camp rules when talking with your campers, especially regarding policies that may feel hard, like our Screen-Free Policy, our No-Package Policy, and our Camper Code of Conduct. 

If your camper is new to Kingswood, please read all the sections here together. The more campers hear about what camp is like, the more prepared and confident they’ll be when they step onto the camp bus. Bookmark this page, or print the PDF version, as it’s a helpful resource while camp’s in session. 

Parents and campers will need to acknowledge that they have read, understood, and will adhere to everything in the Family Handbook as a part of their required forms. If you’d like to ask questions to better understand our philosophy and rationale, we’re always happy to chat!

We can’t wait to be back on Woods Pond,

Jodi Sperling
Owner & Director
