Information about KOSS

Staff:

The director and our naturalists are well trained and skilled at providing a successful learning experience. Classroom teachers from your child’s school will be attending to provide support as well as be the link between students and home.

Safety:

Safety is our first priority here at KOSS.  Our staff is equipped to deal with any situation that may arise.  Staff is required to have current first-aid and CPR training.

Communication:

There are no phones available for students to call home, so please don’t ask your child to call.  Visits will not be allowed but mail may be sent along with your child’s teacher to be given during camp. Please do not send cards with family pictures or over emphasizing notes about missing your child, as this can lead to homesickness.  

In case of emergency, please call (541) 660-4222 to reach our director.

Health Information:

To ensure the best experience for your child please fill out your child’s health questionnaire as thoroughly as possible. 

Behavior Expectations:

KOSS participants are expected to behave responsibly and observe the same rules as they do at school. While this is a camp experience, students are still responsible for achieving academic goals through lessons and activities. For this reason, students, parents, teachers, and mentors are required to know and adhere to the Behavior Expectations and Rules/Policies in the Teacher Packet.

Food:

Tasty-healthy kid friendly food is prepared by our certified KOSS cooking staff. Students eat in a family style setting. We accommodate special diets and food allergies when notified in advance. Students are given snacks daily so they do not need to bring candy or gum. Don’t forget to bring your lunch for the first day.
