What if My Child forgets Something important?

If you realize it before you leave them at camp, please notify the Camp Coordinator of that age group and the Camp Director.

You may choose to replace the item by purchasing it nearby in Woodland Park, Colorado, or return it the next day after retrieving the item from home. Our Camp staff will work with you to find a solution for your camper to have the items they need for camp.

What is the Visitor Policy for FRC?

We do not allow parents/guardians/friends/families to come and visit their campers during the week for the safety of all campers. If you have an emergency, please contact the Camp Directors (303.988.3900).

Every staff member, volunteer, and Camp Pastor has completed a background check to be on the property per our policies and Quaker Ridge Camp policy.

Can my camper opt out of activities?

To get the full experience of camp, each camper is expected to participate in all camp activities unless specifically excused by a doctor or guardian in writing prior to the start of camp.

What time does my camper check-in and check-out for camp?

Registration will be from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. We cannot check in campers until the Quaker Ridge Medical Staff is available. Therefore, we cannot check in your camper before 3:00 p.m. If you arrive earlier than check-in, please feel free to walk around to explore the camp. Please note that pets are not allowed on Quaker Ridge Property. If you bring a pet along for the ride to camp, you may leave them in your vehicle until you leave the camp property.

Location: Quaker Ridge Camp is located at 30150 N. Hwy 67, Woodland Park, CO 80863. It is about two miles up a mintained dirt road from the turn off of Highway 67.

Campers can be picked up from 10:00 am- 11:00 am on Saturday morning. We must be off the Quaker Ridge Camp property by 12:00 noon so that the next group can begin setting up for their camp. Campers who are not picked up before 11:00 a.m. will be charged $25 for the first hour and $50 per hour after that.

What Should my child bring to camp?

Battery-operated flashlight,
Reusable, spillproof Water Bottle

For campfire time at night, sweatshirt or fleece hoodie and long pants
Sunglasses, hat, extra towel, extra socks, and an extra pair of shoes are recommended
The camper’s clothing should be modest.

Middle-school and high-school male and female campers need full-length pants or capris (no shorts) for rappelling, low ropes, and high-ropes climbing.
Cash for Snack Shack – soft drinks, t-shirts, candy, ice cream, popcorn, etc. (15-25$)
Prescriptions and over-the-counter medications. All medications must be in their original packaging with instructions. The camp nurse will receive all medications.
Campers with long hair should bring hair ties that securely hold hair back to keep it out of ropes and carabineers.

Please do not bring to camp:

Loop earrings (and other facial rings) should not be worn because they can cause serious injury during many camp activities.
We recommend not wearing flip-flops or open-toed sandals at camp. It really hurts when you jam a tree root or branch into a toe while walking around camp!
Clothing that has “questionable” logos or words
Guns, explosives, wild animals, alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs (Use common sense)
Your camper may bring their mobile phone, but they will be limited in when and how they can use it. We want the campers to be fully engaged in activities and with the people at camp.

How much money will my child need to spend at camp?

Your camper will not be able to purchase unlimited quantities of snack items. $25.00 is adequate for snacks. The Quaker Ridge snack shack also sells T-shirts, water bottles, hoodies, etc. Your child will need more money if they want to purchase these items. (Small bills: $10 and under preferred)

What is the mailing address for my child at camp?

Your child’s name
c/o Quaker Ridge Camp
30150 N. Hwy 67
Woodland Park, CO 80863.

Your camper would love to get a note from you and your family members.

Can I call an emergency number if I need to contact the camp staff?

The Quaker Ridge Camp phone number is (719) 687-9012. At check-in, you will receive emergency phone numbers for the camp Directors and Coordinator for your child's age group.

Who will be working with my child?

We recruit a great staff of volunteers each summer. Each volunteer and camp staff member has completed a background check and checked references. Also, every age group has at least two people with a minimum of first aid and CPR certification. Each age group is assigned a camp coordinator, camp pastor, and cabin leaders. Camp Directors interact with all three age groups.

What happens if my child is injured at camp?

Injuries happen. We will do everything possible to keep your child safe, but accidents happen.

If your child is injured, the camp medical staff (nurse, CNA, or EMT) will assess the injury. Antibiotic ointment and ice are the camp nurse’s best friends! If the injury is more serious, they will be taken to the Emergency Room in Woodland Park. On your registration form, you completed a section for your insurance. For more serious injuries, we will contact you as soon as the situation has been assessed.

How does FRC handle food allergies and restrictions?

The experienced Quaker Ridge kitchen staff will coordinate with our camp directors to accommodate food allergies and restrictions. Students have a variety of food options available for each meal.

Cancellations received by June 16, 2023, will receive a 90% refund.
Cancellations received between June 17 – July 2, 2023, will receive a 75% refund.
