Frequently Asked Questions
"How old does my child have to be to attend camp?"
Each session has its own age requirements, so please check out Sessions Page to discover specifics. Generally speaking, Camp Lu-Jo has week-long sessions for those entering 4th grade through graduated seniors and a special day camp for children entering 1st grade through 4th grade.
“When can campers show up for their camp session?”
Camper registration does not begin UNTIL 2:30 P.M. Sunday and ends about 5:00 P.M. Please remember that campers must not enter the dorms until they have completed registration! If you are running late, please don’t hesitate to contact the staff for that session!
“What if I didn’t have time to send in a registration form by mail? Can we just show up and register on Sunday?”
Absolutely! Please note however that each camp week has a MAXIMUM number of beds available, so it is possible that the session’s registration will close even before camp begins.
You can also now register online on each session’s individual page!
Contact that session’s director for more information.
“When should campers be picked up at the end of the camp week?”
Please pick up your camper AFTER 9:00 A.M. and BEFORE 10:00 A.M. on Saturday morning of each camp session.
