COVID-19 Info

The health & safety of our campers and staff is our top priority. Our vaccine policy is based on the most recent information from the CDC and RI Department of Health.

• At check-in, families will participate in health screening questions.
• All campers will be required to have a negative Covid test no more than 72 hours before the start of the camp session. The results of which must be brought to camp for check-in. If your child is vaccinated, proof of vaccination can be shown instead of a test. If your child has had Covid within 90 days of the start of the session we ask that you bring proof of the positive test with you.
• Rapid testing will be conducted by the on-site healthcare professional as needed.
• Physical distancing and outdoor activities will continue to be encouraged wherever possible.
• Regular hand washing and hand sanitizing will be incorporated into our daily schedule on a more frequent basis and hand sanitizer will be readily available.
• There will continue to be enhanced cleaning around camp.

Acceptable Proof of Vaccination Status

Vaccine status may be proven using any of these options:

• CDC COVID-19 vaccination record card or a clear photo of the card;
• Vaccine administration records from a vaccine provider, including an individual’s doctor, pharmacy, or other official immunization records from within or outside the U.S., including a photo or photocopy.

Core Values

HOBEY’s trusted camp programs are guided by core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

Caring – We recognize the good in everyone and are invested in their well-being.
Honesty – We acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses and communicate with transparency that enables others to believe in us.
Respect – We show honor and consideration for ourselves and others through our words and actions.
Responsibility – We are accountable for our actions and are aware of the impact we have on each other and the environment.
Passion – We embrace new people and experiences and pride ourselves in contributing positively to the community.

Meals

Meal time is a time when the entire camp community comes together to eat, chant, sing, and have fun! All campers eat at tables with their cabin mates and counselors in our dining hall.
Meals are served family style and there are always vegetarian and gluten-free options for those with documented dietary restrictions. Lunch and dinner are accompanied by a robust salad bar and fruit is available throughout the day.
*Notify us if your kids allergic to any food

Four Divisions

The Camp is usually divided into four divisions based on campers’ ages and genders. These divisions help give kids a sense of belonging at camp.

• Junior – younger males
• Sherman – younger females
• Senior Hill – older males
• Jungle – older females

Each division has its own unique culture and traditions.
