Common questions
How do I register and pay?
Registration is online only, and sessions fill in the order registrations are received. A non-refundable, non-transferable deposit of at least 20% reserves a spot. Payment plans of up to 8 monthly installments are available, and all balances are due June 1. Any unpaid balance is drafted from your original payment method, and a failed or late final payment adds a $50 fee per session, per child, on June 2.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel up to 21 days before camp for a refund of the balance paid, minus $50 per session, per child. There are no refunds within 21 days of camp or once a session begins, including for campers sent home. To cancel or switch weeks, email office@campalbemarle.org or call 252-726-4848 x201.
When are overnight check-in and pick-up?
Check-in begins at 3:00pm on Sunday at Camp Albemarle on the Sound, 156 Albemarle Dr. The closing ceremony is Friday at 2:00pm in the Vesper Dell; please arrive no earlier than 1:30pm and bring your ID.
When are Day Adventure drop-off and pick-up?
Drop-off and pick-up are drive-through at Camp Albemarle in the Pines. Check-in is 8:30–9:00am on Monday and 9:00am other days. Pick-up begins at 4:00pm, or 3:45pm on Friday. Bring ID every day; campers are released only to authorized adults.
How do cabinmate requests work?
List the full name of one cabinmate, registered for the same camp and week. The request must be mutual, group requests can't be honored, and assignments can't change at check-in.
What if my camp is full?
Join the waiting list through registration. If a spot opens, we'll call you, and you'll have 24 hours to respond.
What about medications?
Complete the medical form online. Every medication, prescription or over-the-counter, needs a Medication Administration Record (MAR) signed by both a parent and an authorized prescriber. Upload it two weeks before camp, bring a copy to check-in, and send medications only in their original containers.
Can you handle food allergies?
Yes. Our kitchen is peanut, tree nut, seafood and shellfish free, with a salad bar at lunch and dinner and a vegetarian option at every meal. Note allergies on the medical form, and contact our Food Service Director at boundless@campalbemarle.org with questions.
How does the camp store work?
Campers visit the store with their family group (about four times for overnight camps, five for Day Adventures and once for Mini Camp). Prepay into your camper's store account; the average is about $30. Leftover money can be refunded or donated to the campership fund.
How do we keep in touch?
Camp emails and photos come through Bunk1, with details sent the week before camp. Mail letters postmarked two weeks ahead to your camper's name, c/o Camp Albemarle, 156 Albemarle Drive, Newport, NC 28570. Please don't send food or candy.
Can campers bring phones?
No. Phones, tablets, smart watches and other electronics stay at home, and campers can't call home except in an emergency.
Is there a swim test?
Yes. All campers can join the shallow-water swim. For deep water, campers swim 25 yards without stopping and tread water for one minute.
What should campers wear?
Modest clothing with no slogans promoting alcohol, tobacco, drugs, sex or profanity. Girls wear one-piece swimsuits or tankinis that cover the belly; boys wear swim trunks. Bring closed-toe shoes and water shoes.
