    • Camper Abilities, Behavior & Community Expectations

    • Every camper is unique. The information below outlines general expectations and helps ensure a safe, supportive, and positive experience for your child and the entire camp community.

    • Camper Abilities 

    • At Ohdaka Day Camp, we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all campers. If your camper has any health, mobility, learning, or disability-related needs, please share that information with us in advance. We will make every reasonable effort to support campers within the scope of our day camp program.

      In addition to meeting the age requirement, campers must be able to meet the following expectations with or without reasonable accommodation, in an outdoor, group-based setting:

      Campers must be able to:

      • Participate in outdoor activities for most of the day, including walking up to 1–2 miles on grass, dirt trails, gravel, and paved paths
      • Carry a small backpack with personal items (lunch, water bottle, extra layers)
        Communicate basic needs to staff (bathroom, water, feeling unwell, needing help)
      • Manage personal care independently, including restroom use, changing clothes if needed, and managing personal belongings
      • Follow simple and multi-step directions in group settings
      • Participate safely in a group environment with age-appropriate supervision ratios
      • Use age-appropriate strategies to regulate emotions and behavior in a busy, community-based setting
      • Engage respectfully with peers and staff and refrain from harming themselves or others


      Ohdaka Day Camp is not equipped to provide one-on-one staffing, reduced supervision ratios, or personal caregivers. We may not be able to support campers whose needs require constant individualized supervision or whose behaviors significantly impact the safety of themselves or others in a group setting.

      If you are unsure whether Ohdaka Day Camp is the right fit for your camper, or if your camper has needs that require additional discussion, please contact us at office@shootingstaradventures.org before completing registration. This allows us to partner with you thoughtfully and determine the best course of action.

       

    • Camper Behavior & Community Expectations 

    • At Ohdaka Day Camp, clear and shared expectations help create a safe, supportive, and fun experience for all campers.

      Families are expected to review the Ohdaka Camper Code of Conduct and the kid-friendly Ohdaka Camper Promise with their camper prior to the start of camp. Both will be included in the Parent Packet and available at the link below.

      On the first day of camp, campers will review expectations together and take the Ohdaka Camper Promise as a group, helping set a positive tone for the week.

      These shared expectations support kindness, safety, participation, and respect within our camp community.

    • Registration will open on January 5th 

  • 2026 Ohdaka Day Camp Registration

  • Registration for new campers begins in March. Please check back after that date.

    While you wait, we suggest signing up for our newsletter - that way you will be informed as soon as registration opens.

  • Demographics

  • The following questions help Shooting Star Adventures understand who we serve and are often required for grant funding and program evaluation. This information supports scholarships, transportation, and program access.

    These questions are optional and confidential. Responses are reported only in aggregate, never used to determine eligibility or participation, and choosing not to answer will not impact your camper’s experience. You may select “Prefer not to answer” for any question.

  • Thank you for helping us collect this information. Demographic data allows us to demonstrate community impact, apply for grant funding, and expand access to outdoor programs for youth and families. All responses remain confidential.

  • Camper Information

  • We are sorry but only returning campers with Ohdaka or Camp Two Roads who have applied and been accepted may participate in our teen Galaxy Guide program. Please contact office@shootingstaradventures.org for more information.

  •  

    We are sorry, but your unfortunately your camper's age level is currently full. To be put on our cancellation waiting list, please continue to complete this registration form.

    A refundable $10 deposit is required to join the waitlist. Campers are offered spots in the order they register, based on unit availability.

    Families will be notified as soon as a spot becomes available. If your camper is offered a spot, the registration fee will be charged at the rate in effect on the date of the original registration.

    If a spot does not become available, the deposit will be fully refunded.

  • Camper Photo

  • Image field 411

  • Photo requirements:

    • Make sure there is nobody else in the camera frame.
    • Crop image to head and shoulders.
    • Remove glasses and hats.
      Camper is looking straight at the camera, no funny faces.
    • Make sure there is enough light.
    • School photos are a good choice.

  • Health Needs

    Providing complete and accurate health information helps us care for your camper and respond appropriately to their needs during camp.

  • Please notify us of any health, mobility, or disability-related needs your camper may have while attending camp. This information allows us to plan appropriately and support your camper’s safety and well-being. We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate camper needs within the scope of our day camp program.

    Shooting Star Adventures does not discriminate against campers with disabilities; however, we may not be able to support campers whose needs require one-on-one supervision, personal caregivers, or significant individualized support beyond what can be safely provided in a group day camp setting. In some cases, we may need to speak with you directly about your camper’s specific needs before registration is finalized to ensure Ohdaka Day Camp is the right fit for your child.

  • Because many of our counselors are high school students, it’s important that we ensure our staff are able to safely and appropriately support your camper’s needs within our current camp model.

    At this time, campers whose needs include significant physical limitations, PTSD, emotional dysregulation (ED), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), or other intensive behavioral concerns may require supports beyond what we are able to provide in a group day camp setting.

    If your camper has needs that may fall into one of these areas, please contact the Ohdaka Camp Director at 971-328-1653 before proceeding with registration so we can discuss your camper’s needs and determine the best next steps together.

  • Over-the-Counter Medication Release

    The Oregon Health Authority require camps to obtain written permission to administer specific over-the-counter treatments used for common ailments such as headache, poison oak, upset stomach, or diarrhea.
