What to Bring to Camp

Campers will be responsible for bringing their own extra clothing, personal care items, and similar items. We will provide you with a complete list along with your camp acceptance letter. Please ensure that your child's name is clearly labeled on all of their bags and belongings. We cannot be held responsible for lost items.

Camper Characteristics

Camp Osage is a great place for your child to get away and enjoy themself for a week; however, our campers must meet certain qualifications before they are registered to ensure that they have a good time, and are able to withstand being in an alternative environment. We strive to have a 1:4 counselor/camper ratio.


Campers should have a willingness to learn and participate in camp activities, and practice mindfulness and have respect for others and their belongings.


If Camp Osage staff cannot meet the needs of your camper, you will be notified to come pick up your child from camp. If they require transportation to the hospital, or require other forms of specialized care, you will be notified, and you will be responsible for meeting them at the hospital. Camp Osage will follow Orange Grove School's Health Care Services Sick Policy.

Drop-off & Pick-up

Campers must arrive at 8:45 a.m., Monday to Friday.

Pick-up for all campers will be promptly at 2:00 p.m. daily.


All children should be picked up and dropped off at Orange Grove Center's front lobby. Please wait until a camp aide can assist your child before dropping off your camper. Only an authorized guardian with a photo ID will be allowed to pick up your child from camp.
