Camp runs as 8 individual weekly sessions from June 7 - July 30. The Adventure Camp day begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. Specialty and Sports camps run from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Camp Wonderoo runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

We do provide early care starting at 7:30 a.m. and our Aftercare program ends at 6:00 p.m. Please see our dates & rates page for more information.

Adventure Camp is divided into one-week sessions that cost $260 each. The cost of Specialty and Sport camps vary according to supplies needed, etc. Prices range from $200-$270 for a week.

No, tuition is all-inclusive and includes a camp t-shirt and lunch. Some Sports Camps may require campers to bring their own equipment. In the past, a few camps have asked for campers to bring in small household items to complete projects.

Families with multiple siblings who attend Adventure Camp in the same week are eligible for a 10% discount for each additional sibling that attends after the first child pays the cost of full tuition. Please note that this discount does not apply to Specialty & Sports Camps or to Camp Wonderoo. 

Yes! Lunch is included in the cost of all camps (with the exception of our afternoon enrichment camp). Campers may bring their own lunch if desired, but the tuition price would remain the same and no refrigeration is available for camper lunches. In addition, we are a "nut-aware" camp, and our dining service director works directly with families when children have specific allergic conditions. We also offer gluten-free and vegetarian options when coordinated via email with Mr. Newell, Director of Dining Services, at brian_newell@webbschool.org.

This summer, lunch will be a little different, in accordance with our health & wellness protocols. Campers will select their pre-packaged and portable lunch options, and then proceed to their designated lunch location to eat with their camp/group. One example of a typical lunch offering during the 2021 season is:

Pulled BBQ chicken or black bean burger, baked beans, fruit cup, carrot sticks with ranch, rice krispy treat, bottled water or lemonade. Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches are available each day, are pre-packaged, and will be available upon camper request.

Campers who cannot be picked up at the end of their camp may stay for extended supervision for an additional charge. Aftercare provides a variety of choices for campers during their afternoon time. Socializing on the playground, participating in sports activities in the gym or on the basketball courts, or getting creative with various craft projects are some of the many things available to campers. At Camp Webb’s Aftercare, children can form new friendships and strengthen old ones during structured downtime; the groups are organized by grade.

Aftercare is offered on a weekly or daily basis. The hours are from 2:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Campers must be rising kindergartners or older. Cost: Daily $25 or Weekly $60 (3 days or more).  Note: We cannot pro-rate or give refunds with this program.

Adventure Camp campers range from rising kindergarten to rising 7th grade. The Specialty and Sports Camps offer programs for campers K-10. We also have a program for 4-year-olds: Camp Wonderoo!

Adventure Camp limits its enrollment to meet an overall 1:4 staff-to-camper ratio. Camp Wonderoo limits its enrollment to meet a 1:5 ratio in a preschool classroom setting. Ratios for sport & specialty camps vary due to the size, setting, and the number of volunteer leaders for each camp.

Adventure Camp staff are mostly college students, graduate students, or local teachers. They are chosen for their experience, desire to work with children, ability to be positive role models, and their level of enthusiasm. All staff members at Camp Webb participate in orientation and training programs prior to the arrival of the campers. The Adventure Camp senior staff must be 18 years of age and successfully complete a screening and interview process.

The Sports camps are led by highly qualified Webb School and local area coaches.

The Specialty Camps are led by Webb School faculty, local artisans and theater directors.

Enrichment camps are led by some of Webb’s Middle School faculty.

A full-time nurse will be available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each camp day. The health clinic is located in the Lower School Building, and our nurse is available on the front porch every Monday morning to answer questions and collect medications. Our ultimate goal is to be proactive and to practice prevention by safeguarding against accidents and illness as much as possible. Our nurse will call you if your camper comes to visit and requires more than minor medical attention. The nurse is here to dispense medication when required, provide first-level health care if needed, and TLC all the time!

Sturdy shoes are recommended and are especially important, as campers will be active during the day. Flip-flops, Crocs, and other open-toes shoes are strongly discouraged. Please wear sneakers.

The nurse contacts the Knox County police and rescue squad. A staff member will accompany the child to a local hospital. Park West Hospital is less than two miles from Camp Webb. The staff member will have the child’s health form in hand to authorize immediate treatment. Other staff members will contact and coordinate with the camper’s guardians.

Most summers are hot here in East Tennessee; therefore, exposure to the heat and sunlight is something we are constantly monitoring. Please have your child bring a water bottle and sunscreen. Staff will make sure there are frequent water breaks and that sunscreen is applied often (especially for outdoor camps). Campers are in the shade whenever possible and water bottles can be refilled throughout the day; some camps will visit the pool to cool off and splash around.

Campers attending Adventure Camp will visit the pool daily. Some of our specialty and sport camps may enjoy the pool once during the week, for a maximum of 30 minutes. Just enough time to cool off! The parent letter you receive on the Friday prior to each week of camp will state whether or not your camper will be attending the pool. Camp Wonderoo does NOT visit our pool but does have outside water play time daily.

Our pool is staffed with four lifeguards, there is no diving allowed, and campers must participate in a brief swimming skill assessment each week to familiarize the lifeguards with each camper’s abilities. The pool ranges from 2.5 feet to 10 feet. We have pool noodles available for use, and campers are always welcome to bring water wings or puddle jumpers. Campers who do not desire to swim may sit out at the pool while their group swims. They are often kept company/entertained by camp volunteers.

DROP-OFF:

Early arrivals between 7:30 a.m. and 8:27 a.m., may be dropped off at the Lower School front porch each day of the week for our free Early Care service.

Normal arrivals will be as follows…
The First Day: Specialty Camp campers may be dropped off at the soccer field (#2 on the map) across from the Lower School building between 8:30 and 8:55 a.m. All Sports campers should be dropped off at the Lee Athletic Center (#8 on the map) between 8:30 and 8:55 a.m. Adventure Camp drop-off will be at the Council House (#1 on the map) between 8:30 and 8:55 a.m.

In the event of a rainy morning, our staff will be redirecting outdoor drop offs such as Adventure Camp and most Specialty Camps to the Lower School front porch. Sports Camps will always drop off at the Lee Athletic Center.

The Rest of the Week: Specialty and Sports Camp leaders will send a note home with your child if the drop-off location changes after Monday morning. Adventure Camp drop-off will be at the Council House (#1 on the map) unless it is raining.

PICK-UP:
On the first day of camp you will be handed a flyer with your camper’s assigned pickup location and a campus map. This information will also be sent to you via e-mail on the Friday before each week of camp. To ensure the safety of all campers, photo ID is required each time you pick up. Please have ID ready for our staff to confirm your identity. You will be asked to sign a sheet to release the camper into your care. Carpool style pick-up for Adventure Camp will always be at the Lower School Circle. Signs will be posted throughout campus to direct you to the various locations for Specialty and Sports Camp pick-ups.
