What to Bring for Events
Get ready for an adventure-filled Theme Day Friday!
As part of the fun, all campers will receive an allergy friendly full-size candy treat. If you prefer your camper not to have this treat at camp, please let us know. Looking forward to an amazing day of adventure and excitement! Campers should come on Friday in their swashbuckling best! We’re peaceable pirates, though- no weapons needed! |

Camp Lunch is Awesome!
Skip the packed lunch hassle and let us deliver a hot or cold lunch to your camper.
The deadline to add lunch is Friday, July 26, 2024 at 4:00 pm. Log onto your parent account to add lunch.
Campers who purchase lunch still need to bring a nut-free snack from home.
This Week's Lunch Choices:
Hot options: Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Cheese Pizza
Cold options: Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap, Ham Sandwich, Sunbutter and Jelly Sandwich
All lunches served with choices of whole fruit, chips, dessert and water.
Nutritional and Allergy information can be found on the Sage Dining site. Gluten free options are available.
The Google lunch order form will be emailed exclusively to families who have purchased lunch on Monday, July 29, 2024. A gentle reminder: Senior Campers and LIT l’s should opt for a cold option on Wednesdays.
Campers entering Grades 2 and up will visit the Camp Store. Here, they can indulge in purchasing camp merchandise, snacks, and refreshing beverages. The Camp Store is cashless- campers purchase items using their Camp Store funds allocated through their CampBrain account.
We also have an online Camp Store for camp merch- you can order in advance, and we'll deliver while your camper is in camp, or you can pick up at the camp office. This is a great option for your Lower Camp or Exploration camper!
The Camp Health Office is staffed with nurses and health assistants. You can reach them through our Camp Office at 978-774-1427 or campnurse@stjohnsprep.org with any questions you have. A few reminders:
- Campers' medications should not go in backpacks, but should be dropped off at camp at the Medical Drop Off Table at the Family Drop Off location on Monday mornings starting at 8:45 am.
- Medications for campers who ride the bus need to be signed in with the Summer at St. John's Counselors riding the bus on Monday morning.
- Please see our Family Handbook for details on medications and when you should keep your camper home from camp.
- Please make sure that your camper's medical forms are all up to date and uploaded in our parent portal.
This week, campers will get a choice of which trip they will go on! Campers can choose between the Patriots Hall of Fame OR Helix Esports. Both of these amazing experiences are located at Patriots Place, so everyone will bus down together and then divide and conquer! Please let us know which experience your camper will be doing by completing this form by 4:00 pm Monday 5th. If we do not have your choice by this time we will send your camper to Helix Esports.
To make the most of this trip, we will leave campus at 9:20 AM. Please have your camper here on time!
Campers should pack their bag for a regular camp day, but we suggest bringing a sweatshirt as these are indoor activities. Campers are welcome to bring cash to purchase snacks or souvenirs, but Summer at St. John’s takes no responsibility for any personal belongings brought to campus, nor are we responsible for purchases your camper makes.
