FAQs
Can I switch to a different camp?
Absolutely, as long as there is space available, and your child is within the camp’s age group. All requests must be in writing to the Camp Registrar (camp@reston.org).
What is your cancellation policy?
All cancellations must be in writing to the Camp Registrar (camp@ reston.org). Cancellations at any time prior to the session start will forfeit the $75 deposit ($45 for half-day Nature Camps). Cancellations less than 10 days before the session start will forfeit half the camp fees. No-shows will be charged the full fee. In the event you need to cancel, we will work with you to move you to another open, age-appropriate camp session prior to forfeiting your deposit. There is no refund for behavior-related problems. Campers who cancel or leave camp on the advice of the medical personnel will receive a prorated refund. A physician’s note is required.
What makes Reston Camps special? We have been in operation for 49 years. We hire camp staff with a passion for working, and playing, with children. All staff are CPR/ AED/first aid certified, have passed criminal background checks, a Central Registry Check, fingerprinting and have had pre-camp training in child abuse, positive behavior management, camp safety and ongoing training in camp programming.
Do you have a policy regarding visitors to camp?
The safety of our campers and staff, is our #1 priority. For this reason, any visitors must be preapproved by the Camp Director or Recreation Manager.
What if my child has a disability?
Reston Camps welcomes campers with disabilities. In order to best accommodate your child, please email the Recreation Manager (Katherine Caffrey) at kcaffrey@reston.org so we can schedule a time to meet and discuss your child’s needs.
Does my child go swimming during camp?
Campers at Junior Day Camp, Day Camp, Sportsters, Teen Camp, Tennis Camp, Art Camp, Camp on Wheels, Adventure Camp, Watercraft Camp and CIT will visit pools and will be assigned a colorcoded swim level wristband while in the pool area so that counselors and lifeguards can appropriately supervise them. Water Competency Test (swim test) will be conducted on the first day that your camper is scheduled for swimming.
