FAQs
Camper Qs
Can I bring my electronics?
We have a strict no internet-enabled device policy. We want you to be present for the Camp Arrow Wood experience—make new friends, get pushed out of your comfort zone, appreciate the outdoors, and grow. Devices like wireless speakers and the mighty, which allow for music to be played without the internet, are encouraged. Other electronic devices will be taken upon arrival and stored until the end of camp.
What time do we wake up?
Everyone wakes up at 8:15 AM, campers line up at 8:25, and breakfast is at 8:30. Sundays are brunch days with a late wake up!
Will I have my own bathroom?
You’ll share a bathroom with the other campers in your cabin or lodge. All cabins and lodges have individual showers.
Parent Qs
What are the transportation options to/from camp?
For the 2023 season you can drive your child to camp, or they can fly into one of our nearby airports. If your child flies into the Albany, NY (ALB) or Hartford, CT (BDL) airports, we’ll send a shuttle to pick them up and bring them to camp. We may be offering bus transportation from the NYC area based on enrollment. If you have additional questions on this please email office@camparrowwood.com.
What are Camp Arrow Wood’s visiting and communications policies?
Campers will generally have one scheduled ‘call’ per week which can be done with either Zoom or FaceTime. In addition, you can email or send snail mail to your camper. Campers cannot send email, but they are encouraged to write home.
In 2023 we will have visiting day (July 15th) for you to see what your camper has been up to!
