Who thrives here Ages 5–12

Camp Red Stick fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given traditional day camp program.

Frequently asked about Camp Red Stick

What ages does Camp Red Stick accept?

How much does Camp Red Stick cost?
Camp Red Stick publishes $125/week for the standard session. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
What are Camp Red Stick's hours?
Camp Red Stick runs 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
Who runs Camp Red Stick?

Does Camp Red Stick provide lunch?
Camp Red Stick does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
