We discourage calls and visits because they can promote homesickness and create safety problems. It also disrupts the group-building process we go through by singling out a particular camper. Please do not come to camp without first talking directly to the Camp Director. No, your child can request one cabin mate only who must also request your child. Our staff is trained to help campers through these feelings and have lots of experience dealing with this natural emotion.
Many local churches offer financial assistance to campers.
If your church does not, call Camp Albemarle and request a campership application. Our goal is that no child be denied the Camp Albemarle experience because of cost. All swimming and waterfront activities are supervised by certified lifeguards or waterfront staff. They will eat all of their meals in our dining hall and use our modern tiled bath house. All cabins have ceiling fans and usually enjoy a nice ocean breeze.
