Sunday, July 30, 2023: you may bring your child to camp between 2:00 and 3:30 p.m. for registration.
Please do not arrive early or late! You will want to be prepared to stand in line with your child for a short period of time while all the campers are processed through the registration line.

Friday, Aug 4, 2023: Campers may be picked up between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m.
​Please be prepared for a short wait while campers are checked out and released to you.
***IMPORTANT*** For your camper's safety, please be sure that the person who is picking up your child, if it is not you personally, is a name which is listed on your custody release instructions. We also ask that that person present a photo ID.

All campers are required to bring certain items to camp, including bedding, bath towels and a week's worth of clothing. 

• Campers ages 8-14 will sleep outside under the stars one night at main camp. Night-time temperatures can drop, so a sleeping bag is essential. 
• Campers at main camp *may* have the opportunity to ride horses. Campers are required to wear long pants to protect their legs from chafing against the saddle. Campers are also required to wear long pants on the ropes course, so that their skin does not get pinched in the harness.
• PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND REVIEW THE "WHAT TO PACK" LIST BELOW FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF WHAT TO BRING (AND NOT BRING) TO CAMP.
• COMING SOON - document specifying camp-appropriate swimwear.

Camp Sertoma for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children is planned, conducted, and supervised by the Camp Sertoma Committee of NC/VA/MD and staff of Millstone 4-H Center. All campers are responsible for their conduct to those supervising the camping activity. 

Camp Sertoma adheres to a strict Code of Conduct, which is intended to foster a safe environment conducive to optimal learning and growth for all. Campers are expected to behave in a way that respects the rights and property of others.
