The Coastal Explorers’ Day
Arrival for Camp:
In good weather the Coastal Explorers’ day will begin at the
pool. If it is raining in the morning or evening, please
check with gate personnel. Please display the Coastal
Explorers entry pass as you arrive at the gate. Please
remember the maximum speed limit on campus is 20 mph.
Hours:
Camp will open for the day at 7:30 a.m. and close at 5:00
p.m. Please follow the schedule of 7:30-8:30 a.m. drop-off
and pick-up times of 5:00-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. A
late fee of $5 for every 15 minutes will be charged after

person is to pick up your child in the afternoon.
Meals & Snacks:
Campers must bring lunch daily. Cold punch or water will be
provided during the camp day. Avoid sandwich materials that
spoil easily. Please pack lunch in a plastic bag or lunch
box marked with camper’s name. Camper’s lunches will be
transported to the Assembly’s air-conditioned cafeteria
where they will eat.
Program:
A weekly schedule of activities will be posted at the
Coastal Explorers (CE) building or available upon request.
The weekly program will include a blend of educational and
recreational activities. Some programs may require specific
clothing needs. Please refer to the schedule so that each
camper is prepared. Campers will have various special
program guests who will come on site for special events. CE
campers will not be transported off campus.
Camper Guidelines
Dress Guidelines:
a. Shoes (appropriate for walking and recreational
activities please), shorts and a camp T-shirt must be worn
at all times in and around camp. Additional Coastal Explorer
shirts are available for purchase.
b. A bathing suit, towel and possibly a sweatshirt may be
needed for the pool and beach. Due to the nature of many of
the Coastal Explorer activities, we request that the girls
wear a modest one piece bathing suit or tankini. This is a
request made of all our youth campers as well and both
groups often swim at the same time. If your daughter does
not have a one piece suit or tankini, she will be asked to
wear a shirt over her bathing suit.
c. Sunglasses, visor or hat, and waterproof sunscreen are
recommended for each camper.
d. Campers will be responsible for all the items they bring
to camp, therefore, please label all belongings with the
camper's name and pack everything in a gym bag or backpack.
Discipline:
Coastal Explorers is not set up nor staffed to provide one
on one attention to a camper for extended periods of time.
They will be expected to cooperate as one of 45 in the
program. Special discipline problems will be discussed with
the parents as necessary and may include immediate release
of a child from the program if deemed necessary by camp
directors (example: physical violence toward other campers
or staff). Please read and sign the Behavioral Agreement.
Safety:
The Assembly prohibits all of the following items in order
to make Caswell a safe and peaceful place: skateboards,
scooters, music boxes, fireworks, pets, squirt guns,
mini-bikes, bicycles or skates.
First Aid:
Our staff is trained in first aid. For emergencies beyond
our training the local Rescue Squad will be called, as well
as the parents. Please see attached insurance information.
Lost & Found:
Items will be placed in our Coastal Explorers headquarters.
All items must be claimed within 30 days. Please mark all
items brought from home.
