Can my child be placed in the same group as a friend?theshopkeys_6a7r6j2020-03-15T22:58:12+00:00

Can my child be placed in the same group as a friend?

Campers may request to be grouped with one other camper within the overall group. An important reason for coming to Mohawk is the joy of making new friends! Campers in the same group will spend most of their day together.

What if my child is a “picky” eater?theshopkeys_6a7r6j2020-03-15T22:58:12+00:00

What if my child is a “picky” eater?

Mohawk’s varied and nutritious meals, which include one cook-out and one pizza day a week, are planned by our chefs with children’s tastes in mind. In the event that your child is a picky eater, we always have plenty of other options. Head Counselors serve lunch daily to ensure that every child finds something that he or she likes, including one of our many daily alternative choices such as sandwiches, yogurt, bagels and pasta!

Are the camp buses air-conditioned? Do they have car seats?theshopkeys_6a7r6j2020-04-29T14:27:54+00:00

Are the camp buses air-conditioned? Do they have car seats?

YES! All of our buses are air-conditioned with seatbelts and staffed by a Mohawk staff person. In accordance with NY state regulations, Mohawk Day Camp will provide a car seat for campers under four years of age and less than 40 lbs. Campers between the ages of four and eight that are assigned to vehicles smaller than a school bus will be provided with a booster seat (boosters are not permitted on school buses). For more information, view our transportation page.

What if my child has severe allergies and/or an Epi-Pen?theshopkeys_6a7r6j2020-03-15T22:58:12+00:00

What if my child has severe allergies and/or an Epi-Pen?

Many parents choose Mohawk specifically because of the precautions we take to protect children with allergies. Our dedicated allergy specialist monitors the lunch and snacks of each camper with allergies, working closely with the head counselor to ensure every meal is carefully reviewed before it is given to the camper. Mohawk never compromises when it comes to the safety of our campers.

Mohawk Day Camp is a “nut aware” facility, serving only food that is free of tree nuts, peanuts, and nut oils and were manufactured in nut-free facilities. The allergy specialist inspects every shipment of ingredients received by our kitchen to ensure these requirements are maintained. Outside food is not allowed to be brought on campus by campers or staff.

Epi-Pens are managed and administered by our Health Center team. Parents can provide an additional Epi-Pen for traveling on the camp bus.
