    Should you need to call the office at camp the number is 908-439-0090.

    Questions or issues during the camp day or on the bus – should be directed to Mr. Harris, the Camp Director. His email is Marc@greaternewarklifecamp.org. Please note that any concern raised is handled by Mr. Harris speaking directly with your child, their counselor and anyone else who may have been involved or witnessed a potential issue. Mr. Harris will be in contact with you after he has spoken with all the other parties. Mr. Harris is assisted by Mr. Dodson and Mr. Brown. Mr. Harris, Camp Director or Mr. Dodson, Program Director can be reached at camp during the day at 908-439-0090. Or email Marc@greaternewarklifecamp.org.

    Attire/what to bring:  Campers are primarily outdoors and active while at LifeCamp and swim every day.  Recommended attire: sneakers, shorts or lightweight pants, T-shirt (we will give your camper two shirts after their first day), bathing suit, swim cap, and a towel.  Campers may carry a water bottle. We recommend that campers do not wear sandals as it will impair their ability to participate fully in many activities.  We recommend that you write your camper’s name on clothing and bags that they bring with them to camp.

    Please have your child wear sneakers.  Crocs, slides, etc. are not appropriate for running or riding bikes. If your child has bikes, please do not have beads in their hair. Yes, they look great, but they interfere with the helmet. 

    What not to bring: No candy, no food, no electronic devices such as iPod, and no cell phones.  Your children should become fully immersed in their LifeCamp experience, which they will not do if they are focused on their electronics. LifeCamp will not be responsible if these items are lost or stolen. Please do not send bug spray.
