Camp Ozark experience and complete your Online rEGISTRATION

Helpful hints for First Time Camper Families…

1.

Campers love getting mail from home. “Email My Camper” is always the quickest way to send your camper a note.

2.

DON’T send your child’s nicest clothes to

Camp Ozark. Everyday, comfortable t-shirts, shorts, and tennis shoes work just fine.

3.

On Opening Day, the ideal time for arrival is 1 hour and 15 minutes before the gates open.

4.

Take advantage of the online pre-order system and the Incomparable Care Packages from the Camp Ozark Store.

5.

Clearly mark your child’s name on all clothing and personal items. Many of our families love to use clothing labels from irononmdlabels.com.

For more helpful hints and a chance to meet members of our Staff, consider attending one of our First Time Camper Coffees in the late spring in one of the following cities: Dallas • Houston • Little Rock Baton Rouge • Lafayette • Shreveport Invitations will be sent to all First Time Camp Ozark Campers enrolled by April 1st.

2012 Activity Programs

The Incomparable Camp Ozark Program allows campers to participate in a wide variety of activities while still receiving specialized instruction in areas in which they are most interested. Activity Programs include “classes” during our weekday Morning Activities and our weekend Venture Experiences, as well as a “structured free time” during Mish Mash every afternoon.

We believe that for kids to have a meaningful experience, they must have FUN! Campers have the opportunity to choose activities they enjoy and spend portions of each day participating in those activities.

Morning ActivitIES

Morning Activities are primarily designed for campers to learn or improve upon a skill from one day to the next. Camp Ozark creates a personalized Morning Activity schedule for each camper.

These personalized schedules are created using your camper’s preferred activities, which are selected online prior to their arrival at Camp Ozark. Each scheduled Morning Activity generally meets once daily, Monday through Thursday, with a total of three activity periods each day.

Additionally, each camper goes to the lake with their cabin once during their session. Our Lake Program features experienced, qualified instructors, competition ski boats, Wakeboarding, Water Skiing, Tubing, Sailing, and the famous Camp Ozark Water Weenie. Additional lake time is available for all campers on an optional basis.

Mish mash

All areas of camp are staffed and open recreationally every afternoon during our camp-wide free time known as Mish Mash. Campers are able to participate in as many activities as they’d like. Qualified staff is assigned to supervise each activity, while those not assigned are free to take kids to different activities of the camper’s choosing. Organized Tournaments and Clinics are advertised and offered each Mish Mash allowing campers to benefit from instruction in a specific area, as well as participate alone or with a group in structured play. Mish Mash is often referred to as the camper’s favorite time of day because all activities at Camp Ozark are open, with campers having the opportunity to do “whatever they want” at this time. Mish Mash lasts about 2 hours everyday.

Venture Experiences (Two & Three WEEK SESSIONS ONLY)

These special activities are only offered during the middle weekend of two and three week sessions. Campers select these Ventures based on their interests and have an opportunity to complete each Venture during a one or two hour period. Campers have the opportunity to participate in up to 4 Venture Experiences throughout the day.

speciality activities Camp Ozark offers “Specialty” Morning Activities in a variety of areas. Often these classes take up more than just 1 period each day and allow for kids to become certified/qualified during their time at Camp Ozark, or to spend concentrated time working in a specific area (examples include Baby-sitter Training or Hunter Safety).

Other Specialty Activities offer campers age-specific options where they participate in Morning Activities with campers from their cabins or neighboring cabins, examples include Breakaway or Debut.

INSTRUCTOR SPECIALISTS Many of our Morning Activities offer primary instruction from an Instructor Specialist.

Instructor Specialists serve to specifically enhance the Morning Activity experience due to their knowledge and ability in a particular skill area. Instructor Specialists are the primary coaches or instructors of an area.

Instructor Specialists direct most of our team and individual sports classes as well as our performing arts classes. They also staff areas such as Mountain Biking, Skateboarding, Woodworking and more.

IT First Is Third

F.I.T. (First Is Third) is the overriding theme of Camp Ozark’s spiritual emphasis. Our belief is that in order to “win” in our lives, we must place God first, others second and ourselves third. By placing ourselves third, by being “F.I.T.”, we actually come in first in the “game of life.”

Counselors and staff lead by personal example, actions speak louder than words. Love for God through Christ, love for each other, respect, integrity, friendliness and cheerfulness...these are the qualities of Christian living we hope to convey to each camper as we live, play and work with one another.

Values Based Camping Why Camp Ozark?

VALUE – That is our simple, direct, one word response to this all important question. Through the combination of our incredible setting, facilities, program offerings, customer service and people, you will never find a better value in a summer camp experience. But the value of Camp Ozark cannot be measured only by these tangibles because the real value of Camp Ozark is in our values.

Camp Ozark is fully committed to aiding families in the nurturing and development of children and adolescents. In addition to adherence to our mission and philosophy, this is achieved through our positive, energetic emphasis on a relationship with God through Christ carried out through our Spiritual Emphasis Program and our unique Values Based Camping Initiative.

The Camp Ozark Values Based Camping Initiative was born out of the following five core values:

Self-esteem Self-confidence Integrity Teamwork Friendship

Commonly Asked Questions/Quick Tips Tuition The balance of the tuition, plus any additional fees (e.g. travel fees), is due April 1st, 2012. The tuition fee is all-inclusive, and includes all regular camp activities, camper uniform shirt and shorts for Closing Day, equipment and supplies, color photo of cabin group, and regular arts and crafts activities.

Mandatory Camper Insurance All campers are required to purchase low-cost, no-fault, medical insurance. The fee for this coverage is minimal, but purchase is a requirement for enrollment at Camp Ozark.

Health and First Aid The two Health Centers are staffed by a camp physician and up to 8 registered nurses. Additional physicians and a full-service medical clinic are located in Mount Ida, 6 miles away. It is the camp policy to notify parents of an illness, accident or injury in the event the camper is seen by the camp physician. Should medical bills be incurred, parents are fully responsible for payment.

Medication Packaging Camp Ozark will facilitate the mandatory service of pre-packing campers’ medications in preparation for camp. There is a $20 fee for this service. All pills/capsules (prescription and non-prescription) taken on a routine basis will be individually packaged and sorted according to day and time of administration. If prescription medication is not in pill/capsule form (liquids, eye drops, topical, etc.) they will be dispensed as indicated. All medication must be delivered to camp before the camper’s arrival. Please refer to your My Ozark account for medication packaging options.

Speciality Activities Regular activities are included in the tuition fee. Some specialty activities are available at an additional cost. Specialty activities include all SCUBA courses, Advanced Skiing/Wakeboarding, and Golf.

Activity Selection Each camper is provided with a unique, individualized Morning Activity schedule. These schedules are created based on the camper’s indicated activity preferences. Please refer to page 11 for more information and instructions regarding Activity Selection.

Opening Day Each session begins on a Sunday. Our Opening Day procedures are designed to make the parent’s and camper’s experience as smooth and efficient as possible. An Opening Day Guide, as well as both valet and luggage service, are provided to all families arriving via private automobile. Campers who arrive via chartered bus or airplane receive assistance with luggage and join their cabin immediately upon arrival. Please refer to the inside back cover for detailed Opening Day Schedule or the camp calendar found at campozark.com.

P. 41

Closing Day We strongly encourage every parent to attend Closing Ceremonies on the last day of your camper’s session (Saturday). The program begins at 10:00 am for all two-week sessions and for sessions B/D/F/G/I. For sessions A/C/E/H/J, the ceremony begins at 11:00 am. There is a special picnic lunch at 11:30 am with your camper’s cabin and counselors ($7.50 per person, advance reservations, please.) NOTE: There is no special picnic lunch for Session A, C, E, H or J. Please see inside back cover for Closing Day Schedule or refer to the camp calendar found at campozark.com.

Cabins Cabins at Camp Ozark are arranged by age group and gender and are strategically located throughout Camp Ozark. The Summit is an area set apart for our older campers and is serviced by a separate dining facility and Health Center. The typical cabin arrangement is 10 campers with 2 counselors. The cabins are rustic (screen doors, screen windows, ceiling fans), and campers sleep in bunk beds. Each sleeping area has a shelf and access to an electrical outlet (for fans or clocks).

Most campers use bath houses, although some cabins do have there own facilities.

Cabin Assignments Campers are assigned to cabins according to age, development and school grade. Campers may request to be placed in the same cabin with up to two other campers. All such requests must be submitted in writing and must be made by both campers, via My Ozark or email to campozark@campozark.com Additionally, requested cabin mates must be no more than 12 months apart in age, and no more than four campers from the same school or social group will be placed in the same cabin. Every effort is made to place campers according to their cabin preference, but final placement is at the sole discretion of the Camp Director.

P. 42

Transportation There are four options for traveling to Camp Ozark: 1) Arrive via private automobile, 2) Ride a Camp Ozark sponsored chartered bus (available from a variety of cities), 3) Fly into the Little Rock airport to then be transported to camp via chartered bus, or 4) Fly into Bearce airport, the local Mt. Ida airport, via private/small aircraft which is approximately seven miles from Camp Ozark.

Parents are encouraged to personally pick their campers up at the close of camp; however, campers may travel home via the same four options.

Please make certain your Travel Information is completed in a timely fashion so that a correct record of each camper’s travel arrangements is on file with Camp Ozark.

Packing List No regulation uniform is required. All clothing and equipment must be marked with camper’s first and last name. Each camper should bring a standard size footlocker. A complete list of what to bring is available on page 8.

Visiting Your Camper To avoid disturbing the Camp Ozark routine and program, we do not allow family and friends to visit during camp until Closing Day. For campers attending more than one camp session, parents may visit between sessions.

Telephone Use Campers may not bring cell phones to camp. In order that the camp routine not be disturbed, campers are not allowed to receive or make telephone calls except in the event of a medical emergency. Parents should feel free to contact the Camp Mom if they need to discuss something related to their child.

Prohibited Items In order for your child to have an Incomparable Camp Ozark experience, cell phones, MP3 or other music players, video cameras, radios, laptops, video games and other similar electronic items should not be brought to camp. If these items are brought to camp, they will be taken up and held in a secure location in the camp office. Expensive cameras and watches should be left at home due to the risk of breakage or loss. Food, candy, water balloons or silly string should not be brought or sent to camp. Fireworks, guns, ammunition, and knives are strictly prohibited. Camp Ozark reserves the right to search all personal belongings at any time. Please note: Camp Ozark is not responsible for theft or damages to personal property.

Camp Mom Camp Moms, typically former Ozark staff members, serve as a mom away from home and strive to help make the experience of sending a child to camp as smooth and worry-free as possible for both the camper and the parents. Camp Moms have a network in place that enables them to meet camper’s needs, address issues such as homesickness, and to give 1st time camper status reports to camp families a few days into their camper’s session.

P. 43

Camper Care Our Camper Care program is in place to meet the emotional needs of our campers who are experiencing a special situation before or during their time at Camp Ozark or in the rare case that a family emergency arises while your child is at Camp. The Camper Care Team provides support and aims to accommodate special requests should an emergency arise.

Birthdays Campers with birthdays while at camp are recognized in a variety of ways: their birthday is announced and celebrated during the Morning Show; the entire cabin gets a bag of birthday decorations, hats and other fun items; and the birthday boy/girl receives a birthday cake at lunch to share with the cabin. In addition, parents may purchase a Birthday Package via the Camp Ozark store for delivery on the special day.

Store Deposit No extra money is needed at camp except for personal items such as toothpaste, shampoo, stamps, camp t-shirts, canteen/snack items, extra craft items, etc. A deposit should be made in the camper’s store account, $150 is suggested for two and three week sessions and $100 for a one week session. The store account operates in similar fashion to a checking account and the unused balance is refunded. In the event, your camper’s store balance falls below $25 you will be notified on your Dashboard in My Ozark. Additional store funds can be added through your my Ozark account or by calling the camp office at 870-867-4131. ALL MONEY MUST BE TURNED IN TO THE OFFICE ON THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP. NO MONEY IS ALLOWED TO BE KEPT IN THE CABINS. Food Camp Ozark strives to provide delicious food options that kids enjoy, while recognizing the importance of nutrition and healthy eating. At every meal, campers have the option to eat from the main hot food line or an always healthy breakfast bar in the morning or soup, salad and potato bar at lunch and dinner. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and fresh fruit are also available during most meals.

Restrictions All activity, medical and dietary restrictions are reviewed once submitted during registration.

All campers enrolled at Camp Ozark must comply with the Essential Functions of a Camp Ozark Camper (found in registration materials). While many of these restrictions are effectively managed during the camp session, final approval for enrollment is at the sole discretion of the Camp Director.
