Q.  What do we need to bring to camp?
A.  Bible, swimming suit, sleeping bag and pillow, towels, toiletry items, flashlight, hiking or tennis shoes, insect repellant, sunscreen, jacket, umbrella, and camera are just a few suggestions.

Q.  What is not allowed at camp?
A. Alcohol, clothing with vulgar or offensive graphics, recreational/illegal drugs, tobacco products, "suggestive" bathing suits, ipods, cell phones, PDAs, video game devices, and fireworks. A good rule of thumb is if you have to ask if it is allowed, then it probably is not.  It is also recommended to not bring any expensive digital camera equipment.  Instead, consider a disposable camera!

Q.  Where does your staff come from? How are they trained?
A.  Our staff members come from all over - this year from Nebraska Universities, Illinois, Missouri, Mexico, and The Netherlands.  Word of mouth from former campers and counselors and our website help us find experienced and skilled program specialists, program counselors, and kitchen assistants.  We believe it's great for children to see a group of people from various backgrounds who work together, care about each other, live by a high set of standards and values, and pour themselves out for campers.  In addition to rigorous application and interview processes, all staff members commit to a strict no alcohol policy during the summer, even on their time off.  It's part of our staff demonstrated commitment that they are at camp for the children - first and foremost.  Our counselors bond together for a seven day, intense training clinic prior to the start of camp.  From this, they emerge with a firm understanding of Camp Comeca's program along with a high level of safety consciousness.  We also make sure that all staff are trained and certified in First Aid/Emergency Lifesaving techniques and specialists have certified accreditation from their respective fields. 

Q.  What is your camper/counselor ratio?
A.  We maintain that all camps facilitate one staff and one volunteer counselor per cabin (approx 1:6).

Q.  What if I have food allergies?
A.  Please let us know in advance and we can accommodate any dietary requirements.

Q.  Can a camper come to more than one week of camp?
A.  Yes, provided that the camp is not full.  We do caution parents not to do too many weeks.  Camp does require a separae registration form for each camping event.

Q.  Can my child leave camp early or for an event?
A.  The camp feels that the best way for a camper to experience the full benefits of camp is to not leave during the week.  However, we do understand that this is not always possible.  If a camper must leave early or for an event, they must provide a note from the parent and sign out at the camp office. 

Q.  What if I cannot transport my child to camp?
A.  Transportation to and from the camp by Charter Bus from Omaha, Lincoln, and through Route 80 is available for an additional fee.  Please call the office if you are interested in this option.

Q.  Is activity equipment provided?
A.  Yes. We provide all equipment needed to participate in any of our activities. 

Q.  Can boys/girls swim at the same time?
A.  Yes.

Q.  Can my child stay through to an additional camp?
A.  Yes, any camp that ends the same day another camp for that student's age group begins can be "tagged on" for a lower cost.  

Q.  Do you have a lifeguard?
A.  Yes, the state requires one certified lifeguard for every fifty people occupying the swimming area.  During the summer, the lifeguards administer swim tests to allow access to the deep end of the pool.

Q.  Do you have a first aid station?
A.  Yes, we have a fully stocked medical station as well as multiple staff members trained in emergency procedures.

Q.  Do you have a Camp Store?
A.  Yes. Our canteen is open regularly during the camping weeks.  Students can purchase sodas, snow cones, candy, ice cream, shirts, souvenirs, and more.

Q.  Can I call or visit my child at camp?
A.  One of the most significant elements of the camp experience is learning independence.  We know it's hard (especially for parents) to be apart; however, our experience has taught us that kids adjust to life much more easily if they rely on themselves and their peers at camp.  If a child is homesick, a parent's voice can intensify sad feelings, therefore we do not have campers use the phone and do not offer parent visiting times.  We do, however, stay in contact with you while your child is at camp.  If any problem arises, we will contact you immediately. We encourage parents to send mail to correspond with their child!

Q.  How do I get in touch with my child during an emergency?
A.  If it is an emergency, you may call the Camp Office at 308-784-2808 and we can take a message. We will give this message to the director and they will have the child return the call. Other than emergency situations, we do now allow children to interact with anyone outside the camp with the exception of letters and packages.

Q.  Can I send mail to my child at camp?
A.  Absolutely! Please have the child's name and the camp name ("Sonshine I", "Adventure Camp", etc) on the letter or package.  Our mailing address is 75670 Road 417, Cozad NE 69130.  Children are also encouraged to send mail out as well.  Any UPS or USPS packages will be delivered to the facility, not directly to the children.

Q.  Can I volunteer?
A.  If you are interested in volunteering in some way, please contact us! 

Q.  How do I apply for a job?
A.  Camp Comeca hires between 14-18 staff members for their summer programs.  If you are interested in working at the camp, please contact us between January and April.
