7. Why can’t my child have a cell phone or electronics at Camp?

As much as we are able, we want to make camp a technology free zone, so the kids are free to focus on each other and their time at camp. It is rare for our kids to be “unplugged”, and we know it is challenging for them, so please help us, by keeping all their electronics at home! If there is an emergency, we will get in touch with you or you can reach us, see #6. 

8. How do I complete my child’s paperwork for camp? 

Follow this link:  MY ACCOUNT . Once here, enter your email and password, then click the FORMS & DOCUMENTS icon.  Here you will find everything you need to complete for your child.

9. Do I have to use the form HOPE for Kids provides for my child (rens) PHYSICAL?

No, you can use any form for the physical. Please remember to make a copy of it for yourself before you send it to HFK.  Once it arrives at the HOPE for Kids office it may take up to a week before it is put into the computer, so please give us up to a week before you email or call about it. Thanks!
