What do I do if my student has food allergies?

We understand food allergies may be a concern for some students. Unfortunately, due to the limited kitchen access at the campground, we ask that parents pack any snacks or food items that your child may need for the 4 days while they're attending camp. Please call if you have any questions: Bailey Lockhart- 813-777-5742.

Can my student bring cell phones or personal items?

For your student to have the best Camp KŌ experience we recommend them NOT bring their cell phone at all during the camp week. If students must, they are allowed to bring their cell phones but they will be restricted to the bunkhouses only. Camp KŌ will not assume any liability for any personal materials students lose, break, or have stolen. Please do not call your students during sessions or devotional time. In the case of an emergency, we will be providing all parents with a direct number to contact us at camp.

What are students allowed to wear to Camp Kō?

Our dress code guideline is that if you can’t wear it to school, don’t wear it to Camp Kō. Please also bring comfortable clothes for recreational activities outside.

My student will require medicine while they are at Camp Kō. What do I do?

If your student will be bringing any medications with them to Camp Kō we REQUIRE the medication to be checked in at registration. The Camp Kō Medic Team will then be responsible for the medication and times from there. All medicine needs to be completely labeled with your student’s name and placed in a gallon Ziploc bag.
