Additional Information

The Healthy Herd Youth Camp operates as a licensed childcare facility within the state of West Virginia. Please note that we have a max capacity of 90 campers that we can accept per week. Once we have met that number, we will no longer be able to take additional registrations. If the registration packet is not properly filled out, then the Healthy Herd Youth Camp might not be able to take responsibility for your child. Certain parts of the packet will require information from your camper’s health care provider. Before a camper is eligible to attend a day of camp the registration packet must be filled out and submitted, in its entirety.  If there is any documentation you would like to see or if you have any questions pertaining to the license, please reach out directly to the Camp Director, Lindsey Peterson.
