FAQs

What is the supervision ratio? Each group of 15 to 17 campers is supervised by one counselor, one counselor aide and 2-3 counselors-in-training.

What is the age range of your staff? Generally, our counselors are college-age students and our counselor aides are high school age. Does your staff receive training? All staff and volunteers attend a one-week training program to learn how to lead activities in a fun and safe manner.

Will my child be with kids his/her own age? Yes! Groups are divided by age so that the activities can be tailored accordingly.

Can my child be grouped with a friend? For requests to be considered, BOTH campers must request each other at the time of registration and ONLY one friend can be requested. Groups are divided by age, so the children must be within one year of the same age. We maintain a group size of 15-17 campers and try to accommodate requests within this limitation. Only requests made three working days PRIOR to the first day of camp are considered.

Do I need to park my car and get out to check my child in each day? Yes, for the safety of the children it is important that parents/ guardians check them in and out in person with their counselor. Please plan to arrive early and be patient while you find a designated parking space.

Do the camps fill up fast? Camp Wa-Tam does, and you may only register for a maximum of four sessions until June 2026. Please sign-up early if you have a specific week in mind.

What does my child need to bring? Specifics are included in the parent letter mailed in early June and can be downloaded online.

Can my 5¾ year old attend camp? Only if they have completed a year of kindergarten and are entering the 1st grade in Fall 2026. Are scholarships available? Scholarships are available for those who reside within the city limits of Santa Rosa and/or Santa Rosa Unified School district.

YOUTH SUMMER CAMPS

Traditional Day Camps

We Support Zero Waste

In support of the City of Santa Rosa’s Zero Waste Ordinance, we ask Camp Wa-Tam campers to bring their own reusable plate and fork for use at the Thursday cookout. Please label your items so they can be returned to you after dinner (they will be rinsed but not sanitized). All campers receive a souvenir reusable cup, and a souvenir frisbee dinner plate is provided upon each camper’s first registration for the summer.
