When do I come to camp?

Registration – 6-6:45 p.m. at the Welch Hall dormitory.

Campers check in, take personal belongings to their room, and meet their counselor. At 7:00 p.m. there is a short orientation for campers and parents. Afterwards, parents leave for home and campers start evening activities.

Campers should eat dinner at home on the day of registration.

When do I pick my child up from camp and where do I go for the Review?

OWjL Camp Review – Friday, 4:30 p.m. – University Hall’s Gray Chapel
61 South Sandusky Street, Delaware
University Hall is located on the east side of the campus. It is NOT close to the dormitory where the campers stay so please check your campus map to become familiar with the location. Allow extra time for parking and walking.

The OWjL Camp Review is the culmination of the campers’ week. This is a family event and parents, siblings and friends are invited and strongly encouraged to attend. The Review is the final camp activity, showcasing many of the performance-based classes. It lasts from 45 minutes to an hour. Campers are not dismissed until the Review is over.

Camper Check Out – Friday, approximately 5:15 p.m. – Welch Hall
When campers and counselors return from the OWjL Review, they will check out. At this time, parents can load their camper’s personal belongings for their trip home.

Welch Hall will NOT be open during or before the OWjL Review for parents to pick up campers or their things.

Welch Hall closes at 6:15 p.m.  Campers should be on their way home by that time.
