Camp Nicolet Parent Handbook

Visitation

Soon the time will come to welcome those of you who will be driving your daughter to and from camp or who are coming to visit with us. Before your arrival at Nicolet, we want to remind you of a few guidelines so you can plan your trip accordingly. Once again, we enjoy having you visit with your daughter at any time during the dates indicated on the annual schedule. During this time, a camper may have one full day out of camp. The only exception will be if two parents are visiting separately, in which case each parent may have one full day each. You may spend additional time in camp with your daughter if you so desire. Grandparents, relatives and friends are certainly welcome to visit as well, and with your written consent only, a camper may take her day out of camp with them if you are unable to visit. It is also fun to have parents join us for our special camp events (click HERE to see our activity schedule web page).

We would appreciate your cooperation in adhering to the following policies as it will result in an enjoyable visitation for all of us.

Parent Visitation Guidelines

Visiting hours are from 8:30 am until 8:30 pm. Campers do not leave camp overnight (CITs have this privledge only).

All camp guests are to report to the camp office immediately upon arrival. Please pick up your ID visitor tag which is to be worn whenever you are on the camp grounds.

When returning to camp in the evening, campers are to be dropped off at Forest Lodge where their counselors will meet them. Visitors are not permitted in the cabin area after 7:00 PM. If attending Saturday evening campfire, please go directly to the parking area via the road.

Camp is closed to visitors the final day of the second session, as that is packing day and our final banquet and awards evening...our last day together as a camp family!

If you are unable to visit us at camp, with your written permission, your daughter may accept an invitation to join another family. She may leave camp one time with another family, not multiple times.

All cars are to be in designated parking areas only. Cars are not to be driven through camp at any time (other than delivering or picking up campers' luggage at beginning or end of session).

No candy, food or gum should be brought on the camp premises.

No pets are permitted on the camp grounds.

Please respect camper and staff privacy. Male visitors are permitted inside the cabins only when invited. You must ask cabin staff permission before taking any video or photos inside cabins.

Please do not extend gratuities or monetary gifts to staff members ( this is an American Camping Association Best Practices policy).

The tennis area is open to visitors when classes are not in progress. Tennis shoes must be worn at all times on the courts. Other activity areas are for campers only and closed to visitors for swimming, boating, sailing, skiing, and horseback riding.

A rest room is located in Forest Lodge for the convenience of visitors. Please do not use cabin bathrooms. A handicapped accessible bathroom is also available to guests.

Smoking, alcohol, illegal drugs, firearms, and fireworks are absolutely prohibited on the camp premises.

Some Visitation Hints and Tips

Eagle River is a large resort area and it is advisable to make reservations for accommodations as early as possible. Contact the Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce (1-800-359-6315) for a complete listing of motels and resorts in the area. Also refer to the last page of your camp calendar and this web page.

For parents planning to visit during the final activity day of first session, we request that your daughter is in camp at rest hour as we will be presenting special awards at that time. You are cordially invited to join us at 8:00 p.m. for an entertaining evening in the Little Theater when our Nicolet campers will take center stage to present a variety of their first session talents.

Please let us know your visiting plans in ample time to ensure that your daughter is not away from camp on a trip. The special trip schedule is also listed on the web page or you can call the camp office for information.

The seven week campers will be enjoying a special out-of-camp trip between sessions. They will depart mid-morning and return late afternoon on change-over Saturday with a fun evening planned. There is a minimal charge for the out-of-camp events.

We wish you a safe trip to the Northwoods and look forward to seeing you!
