The camp director will send a detailed list before camp begins. General items to pack include: lunch, snacks, a water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray, a hat, A pair of sturdy shoes and water/relaxed footwear, extra clothes in a ziplock bag, a bathing suit, and a towel.

Lincoln Sports Camp is fortunate to have the beautiful New Haven River nearby to cool off on a hot summer day. The camp director is lifeguard certified and will always be present to supervise swimming activities.

All children that are not strong swimmers are required to wear a life jacket when at the river. Please include a life jacket with your child's day pack. If you have specific concerns about your child's swimming ability, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Please ensure that all food allergies are listed in the camp registration documentation prior to the beginning of camp. If your child has a food allergy, we will take necessary precautions while they are at camp.

Campers have access to the bathroom located at the Fire Station. Port-a-potties may also be available depending on the size of the camp.

Each camper will have their own cubby located under the pavilion to store their belongings.

Camp numbers fluctuate but generally range from 20-40 campers each week.

There will be times when all kids come together for activities or to eat lunch and also times when they will play separately amongst their age groups. We believe there’s a great benefit for children to both interact as a whole camp and also have the time to explore and play age-appropriate activities.

We have access to Burnham Hall just over the bridge from the Lincoln Sports camp during long periods of rain.

Your child’s safety is our top priority. Our staff manual and training include emergency preparedness for various situations, including thunderstorms, incidents on and off-site, and more. Lincoln Sports Camp has a strong relationship with local emergency services.

The Lincoln Volunteer Fire Department is located directly in front of the Lincoln Sports’ field. Bristol Rescue Squad is located 10 minutes away. The nearest hospital is Porter Medical Center in Middlebury, Vermont.
