Scholarship applications and Post/Auxiliary Sponsorship forms should be submitted together with your camper's enrollment form. We encourage all families to keep a copy of everything submitted for their records

*To protect your child's personal and medical information, we ask that completed forms not be sent via standard email. You may mail forms to our VFW Headquarters or use our secure Google upload link above. A Google account is required for the upload portal — we chose this approach intentionally. Dedicated enrollment software can cost thousands of dollars annually, and we'd rather put that money toward keeping camp affordable for families. We appreciate your partnership in keeping camper information secure.

Ah, yes, you must have heard of Billy the Walleye. Some say to have seen him. Legend has it, he's out there. He’s friendly though and will not interfere with swim and water activities. You’ll have to ask your camper at pick-up for the full story.

Camp Trotter is a phone-free experience. Campers do not have access to personal phones during the session. In a genuine family emergency, you can always call us and we will connect you directly with your child. For everything else — it can wait until Saturday. Your camper will be fine.

Our Food Services Director holds a culinary degree and has significant experience accommodating dietary needs. Please document all dietary restrictions and food allergies thoroughly on your enrollment form. Our food service team reviews this information before each session. For severe allergies, contact the director before your camper's session to confirm accommodation.

Many of our campers fall into this category. Our staff are trained to help kids transition, our cabin

structure creates instant community, and our program keeps everyone too engaged in having fun and learning to dwell on anxiety. Review the Homesickness section of our Parent/Guardian Handbook and call us if you have concerns before the session.

Early departures are discouraged and can significantly affect your camper's experience and that of their cabin. If a genuine emergency requires early pickup, contact the director immediately. Early departure must be arranged in advance with the director — we will not release a camper to anyone not on the authorized pickup list, regardless of the reason given at arrival.

 Absolutely! Our Parent/Guardian Handbook can be located here.
