Grade School Camp

For rising 1st-5th graders

Campers will be grouped by rising grade level, 1st-2nd grades and 3rd-5th grades.

Our summer camp provides a safe, fun environment for children to interact with friends, engage in a wide variety of activities, enjoy outdoor play, and participate in organized games. We can’t wait for your child to join us!

Counselors-in-Training

For rising 6th–9th graders

Time: 9:00am—1:00pm (half day); 9:00am—4:00pm (full day)

Half-Day Cost: $150/week

Full-Day Cost: $200/week

This is a popular program! We ask that each CIT registers for a maximum of 6 weeks. Please join the waitlist if you are interested in additional weeks, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Our counselor-in-training program is for rising 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders–those who have aged out of day camps, but are still bursting with camp spirit and are ready to step into a larger role; one with new responsibilities and challenges.

The CITs spend their summer bonding through team-building activities, practicing leadership skills, and assisting counselors to create special moments with campers. This summer, the CITs will spread their impact to the greater Sellwood community by bringing the summer magic to Sellwood Park’s Craft Shack.

Whether you are new to the CIT experience or have a few summers under your belt, we believe every participant will find this program fun, engaging, and fulfilling. Here at SCH, CITs will have the opportunity to be the confident, compassionate leaders we know they are!

Financial Policies

You will pay a $100 deposit at the time of registration for each week of camp that you sign up for.

The remaining balance will be set for auto-pay 9 days before the start of the camp week.

You may also choose to pay for each week in full at the time of registration.

Cancellation & Withdrawal

Summer Camp 2025

We understand that plans can change, and we want to make the process as clear as possible for our families. Here’s our cancellation policy:

SCH does not issue cash or card refunds

  • Cancellations made with 10 or more days written notice before the program start date will receive family credit for the canceled order(s). Family credit does not expire and can be used for other SCH registrations placed on Jumbula.

  • Please email our office at info@sellwoodcommunityhouse.org with your child’s name and week of camp that you wish to cancel. 

  • Cancellations made with fewer than 10 days written notice before the program start date are non-refundable and will not receive family credit.

  • If SCH cancels a program, we will make every effort to provide a make-up option. If you are unable to attend the make-up, or we are unable to offer a make-up, you will receive a family credit equivalent to the missed session. 

  • Class dates missed by the participant will not be credited.

Thank you for your understanding.
