FAQ's
How does the registration/payment work?
Please register your camper(s) by completing the online registration and sending in your $200 deposit/participant/program ($100 for teen club) to reserve their spot. Please schedule the dates using the online Registration form as soon as you know what your family is interested in. This allows us to best plan our activities and counselor schedules in a timely manner.
At the end of the registration form (and in the registration instructions on our website) you will find our permission/waiver of liability form, and a before-you-come-to-camp information sheet. Please fill out your permission form, and return via email in any format you would like (feel free to take a picture with your phone and email if it is easiest.) All payment locations can be found at the end of the registration as well as on the before-you-come-to-camp info sheet.
Within a few days of sending in registration, you will receive an email confirming it was received, and shortly thereafter and a family invoice, which will be due in two parts, the first being 2 weeks before the start of the camp or your club. Alternative payment schedules and scholarships are available upon request. As always, we try to be as flexible as possible and will always do our best to adjust your camp/club dates or your family’s payment schedule upon request with open communication. Camper cancellations will be able to be made-up at a future date of the families choosing, with unused days receiving a 50% refund.
Please make payments by cash, check, Zelle, or Venmo (@GusVuolle) to Gus Vuolle. Forms/Payment can be mailed to PO Box 300. Roosevelt, NJ, 08555 or emailed to gus@rooseveltadventures.com.
My family is not from Roosevelt, can we still attend?
Yes! Absolutely! We have many families who do not reside in Roosevelt or have students in Roosevelt Public School. We very much encourage families from our neighboring towns such as Millstone, Monroe, Hightstown, Freehold, Twin Rivers,and East Windsor to come join us on our adventures.
What will the lessons and activities be like?
Pulling from our combination of active social-emotional and teambuilding activities, wilderness education, and summer camp experiences, we will be customizing each adventure experience to best fit your camper and your camper’s group’s personal interests and passions. Your camper will be outside, moving around, collaborating, competing, learning, and being challenged!
Where will the camp be everyday?
and how will I know where the drop off/pickup is?
We rotate our locations between the best places in and around Roosevelt, the Assunpink Wildlife Preserve, and occasionally Etra Park. Our weekly schedules are designed during the week beforehand, as we do our best to plan our adventures around the specific group that we will have with us on each day. Once your family has registered, for the weeks you are attending you will receive a weekly Locations and Links sheet. On this sheet there will be the pickup/dropoff addresses, descriptions, parking recommendations, as well as clickable google map links.
Does my camper need to be able to ride a bike?
No, absolutely not. While we do bike rides/activities 1-2 times per week, we are accustomed to having a few campers who are still learning. Sometimes, they bring alternative wheels of their choosing, such as scooters or roller blades. Also, we will have a number of "Biking skills days" during the first few weeks, where we will have an opportunity to work with your camper to improve their biking skills. In addition, we are available for a private after-camp session or two to make sure to find the time to work one-on-one with your camper. If you don't have a usable bike we have a number available to borrow for the summer!
Will my camper(s) be in a group? What will that group look like?
We will be able to have group sizes as we see fit. Most likely, we will group your camper(s) with other children in similar age ranges and activity interests. That being said, this will be largely determined by attendance and family preferences. If your camper has a specific friend or friends, you would like them to be grouped with, that can be arranged.
Are meals provided?
No, snack and lunch are not something we will provide with the exception of a few surprise treats over the season. Make sure to pack a substantial snack/lunch, and if your camper is attending aftercare, and additional snack.
What is the cost?
Our cost table is listed for each program on our summer programs page.
​
If you are in need of our scholarships/discounts, it is important you communicate that before the camp season starts. Just note on your registration form notes that is something you are interested in, and in your invoice we will usually be able to give you options discounts available for your family to choose from, no strings attached. If more discounts are necessary for your family to be comfortable, we will always work to find a solution to get your camper(s) outside adventuring with us.
What happens if it rains? Or is very hot? Are there Weather Cancellations?
As hopefully you are aware, we are an outdoor based camp, and in previous years we have had the unfortunate circumstance of cancelling camp days due to thunder/lightning. This year, we will do our best to be close to one of our after camp facilities in the event of incoming thunderstorms, allowing us to continue the camp day safely. This might result in some last-minute drop-off/pick-up changes in order for us to be best prepared for the elements.
