1. Who will be taking care of the children?
Our Kins (counselors) will be in charge of the campers.

For a member of our staff to work at the camp, it means he/she has passed through all the filters we have in place; first-contact interview, psychometric battery of tests, a thorough interview, induction and training.

Our staff receives training all over the year in several subjects: first aid, CPR, crisis management, psycho-pedagogy, technical aspects of camping and much more.

Moreover, there is a coordinator, paramedic and some executive of the company at all camps.

2. How many adults attend to the camp?
1 Kin per each 8 campers, plus a coordinator, paramedic and one of the executives of the company.

3. With whom the children will be sleeping?
Depending on the site where the camping takes place, 4-20 campers sleep per cabin, always with Kins who continually supervise them.

In the event the camp is with children of different ages, campers share a room with children of the same age group.

Boys sleep with boys, and girls with girls, in separate rooms or cabins.

4. What is the timetable?
• We get up at 7:30 am
• We take breakfast at 8:00 am
• We take a snack between 11:30 am and 12:00 pm
• We take lunch between 2:00 and 2:30 pm
• Dinner is served between 7:00 and 8:00 pm
• We go to sleep between 9:00 and 11:00 pm

5. What will happen if my child becomes homesick?
Is normal for kids to go through a stage where they miss their parents (you miss someone you love) however, when something like that occurs, we try to talk with them, and depending on the degree of the situation, the case is evaluated in order to make a decision. Each case is different, and in the vast majority of the cases, these are only key hours that have been taken care of in the program so that they are amused and occupied and have no time left for missing.

6. Are they required to participate in all the activities?
NO, but we always try to convince them to participate, since many of these activities are entirely new for them and their only fear is to the unknown.

7. ¿Can I call to see how my child is doing?
At camp we cannot answer all calls, because if a child sees another child is receiving calls, this may turn into a chaos.  However, you can call to our offices and there will always be a person to inform you how everything is going at the camp.

8. How does the health care service works?
We have a full-time paramedic at every camp, and our staff is certified in first aid and CPR.

Children are not allowed to self-prescribe medications, or for a member of the staff to do so. Parents are asked that, if their child needs to take any medication they must advise the paramedic prior to the departure, in order to avoid any problems.

9. What do they eat?
We provide a menu for young people, with 3 abundant meals and a snack.
For example:
Breakfast: juice, cereal, rolls and buns, scrambled eggs and beans.
Lunch: Pasta, salad, spaghetti, a stew or main dish and dessert.
Dinner: Quesadillas, rolls and buns, chocolate milk, naturally flavored beverages.

10. What about transportation?
The buses we use for transportation are deluxe units with air conditioning, television, restroom, reclining seats with speed limitation, plus travel insurance.

11. Is the place safe?
The sites where we make our camps are private properties, surrounded by walls and with the surveillance of watchmen and camp personnel.

Typically, sites of this kind are a source of employment for the nearby villagers and thus we have the support and care of the communities, which perceive these campsites as something necessary for their economic stability.

12. What will be my child’s gain from the camping experience?
• Self-sufficiency and autonomy both in respect of his/her home and things.
• Responsibility habits, since in order to be able to live with a number of people you need to learn to live with certain order and responsibilities.
• Friends
• New experiences
• An opportunity to grow and overcome their fears.

13. What happens if the camper gets hurt?

He/she is taken immediately to the appropriate hospital or health care center, and once we have all the information we contact the family, to make a decision together with YOU.

14. What is the safety program applied with the kids while they are at camp?

They are supervised at all times. Campers are never left alone.

As to the sports and/or adventure activities, the safety policies and quality standards of the equipment meet the highest standards at an international level.

15. ¿Our children may take a cell phone, camera, i-pod, or any other electronic device?

No, Kin Camp SA de CV does not recommend it, since we assume no liability for them, nor will any of the members of our staff.

16. What items of clothing are they required to bring with them?
We recommend campers to carry clothes that are not new or fashionable, since the physical activity is intense.

The clothing list varies in accordance with the site and the number of camping days.

    * If yours is a school camp, please get in touch with your school and they will give you the information, or if you wish, you can send us an e-mail or call us and we will send it to you right away.

17. Are they required to carry any money?
Our recommendation is for them to carry between $100 and $500 pesos, depending of the length of the stay, since there is a store where they can buy sweets after their meals or any souvenir from Kin Camp (caps, jackets, t-shirts, sleeping bags, etc)
