Field Trips Price List

Windwood Day Camp is offering weekly Field Trips to campers in the 6th through 8th grades (approximately 10-15 year olds). Counselors will be accompanying their campers on these bus-driven trips to fun (and sometimes educational) attractions in the Pittsburgh area. Field trips will be on Wednesdays and usually cost $25.00 each (except for Kennywood at $30). Payment must be made at least three weeks in advance of the event. Below is a list of Places and Dates for these trips. In case of inclement weather, an indoor field trip may be substituted. Campers may choose to stay at camp, but we believe these older children will enjoy traveling "off campus" for a fun trip with their friends. Windwood reserves the right to cancel or chang field trips and there prices at any time for any reason and payments will be refunded.

Field trips are $25.00 each unless otherwise specified. Please check which trips you would like and send it in to the camp Office.

*Field trips are nonrefundable. If you child does not attend you can use the money you paid towards the snack bar, lunches, or other programs.Please let us know which you would like to apply it to. We also need to get parental permission for your child to stay here at camp, when they have signed up and paid for the field trip but decide not to go.

The dates, destinations, and prices are as follows:

Sports Camp Rules

Sports camps will not be refunded if it rains. If it rains all week and we absolutely have to cancel the camp all week we will reschedule for a different week. If it rains one day and we have to cancel that day, we may extend the sports camps hours on the next day. We are hiring and scheduling extra people to come in and help with these camps so we are going to try to do our best to keep the camps on schedule.

All children attending the sports camps must arrive 15 minutes before the camp starts to check in and get warmed up. Please make sure that your children are wearing the appropriate gear. (Shorts, T-shirt, sneakers) If it is supposed to rain please send a change of clothes. We suggest sending a water bottle with them as well.

Payments and sign ups for the sports camps must be in at least 2 weeks prior to the specific sport camp date.

Please understand that we want this to benefit your child as much as possible. We would like to teach them as much as we possibly can with the great experience we provide.

Check out some happy day campers!
