What if I do not want my camper to go on field trips?

This is because Camp Clayton must follow specific staffing and safety guidelines when we are off campus, and we are unable to accommodate additional campers remaining on site. Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep everyone safe.

Are snacks provided at the camps?

Yes! We provide each camper with two snacks every day — one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Families are just asked to pack a lunch for their camper to enjoy midday.

Are lunches offered at the camps?

For most of our camps, families are asked to pack a lunch for their camper to enjoy mid-day. At our Clayton Child Development Center at Keller ISD camp site, families have the option to purchase a nutritious lunch for $20 per child per week during online registration. Click here for a sample menu.

If you need to pick up your child early, you can simply notify the camp director at drop-off and then call the camp site upon arrival.
