Frequently Asked Questions

We have included answers to our most frequent questions. Please refer to your camper’s Welcome Letter for more specific answers. If you still have questions please contact our director through our contact page.

  • A packing list will be available for download after registration is completed.

  • Yes! We provide daily for our staff and campers, with a vegetarian option available. If your child has more specific diet requirements, please contact us. We do our best to accommodate everyone, but supplemental meals may need to be provided by the family.

  • We look to keep this ratio high to create the best possible camp experience. We have one staff member for every 4-7 campers.

  • Clatsop County Students: Registration will open Spring 2023

    Non-Clatsop County Students: Registration will open Spring 2023

  • As a Non-Profit our core mission is to provide a unique and educational outdoor experience for children attending school in Clatsop County. Therefore, a camper’s registration status is based on the school district they attend and not on their home address.

    Additionally, our camp is not funded by property taxes. Camp Kiwanilong is supported by our own fundraising efforts. We are fortunate that once Clatsop County students have had the opportunity to attend camp, we are able to open registration to individuals outside the county.

  • Yes. Financial aid, known as “Sparkyships” to us, is available to campers that attend school in Clatsop County. Contact the director on or after the registration date for more information.

  • There are many opportunities to volunteer at camp. Contact our Ranger for more information.

    Every summer, camp has positions available for kitchen or infirmary staff. Please contact the director for current employment opportunities.

  • Yes! We like to greet each and every camper on check in day, so this takes a bit of time. If you are in a hurry come early to line up first. You will meet your child's counselor, walk them to their cabin, and help them get settled in for their session.
