What are Camp St. John's Crews?

St. John’s Episcopal School is nestled among large trees and a serene creek in the heart of East Dallas. Our “front yard” is just a short walk from White Rock Lake and home to a diverse population of wildlife and beautiful scenery - a perfect spot to spend your summer days!
Camp St. John’s, or CSJ, provides opportunities for campers to immerse themselves in a wide array of high-quality day camps while providing many of the traditions of the traditional sleepaway camps. To foster a sense of community and belonging, Camp St. John’s has “Camp Crews.” Paying homage to our surroundings, and the wildlife with whom we share our home, we have named one Crew the Eagles and the other Crew the Owls. On the first day of camp, new campers will draw and be assigned to the Eagles or Owls. Campers will forever be part of that Crew, enjoying a sense of pride and an immediate bond with their new CSJ Camp Crew friends of all ages!
Whether an Eagle or an Owl, all campers will build life-long friendships and bonds with fellow campers and counselors. Their summer will be unforgettable at Camp St. John’s and one they will cherish for years to come.

Faculty members are trained in first aid and CPR and on-site and available during camp hours.
Camp St. John’s requires that a camper’s health conditions, treatments, and medications be listed and explained. Please remember to list all camper allergies, as it is essential that we have this information to best serve your child. Parents are required to provide an epi-pen, inhaler, or emergency medication, as needed. You will drop off any medications in carpool with a counselor on the first day of the camp week. If you are attending multiple weeks, you are welcome to leave all medications with us throughout the summer. Please make sure all medications and bags are appropriately labeled with the camper’s name and medication instructions. Parents may contact the Director of Camp St. John's Whitney West, at any time to discuss their child’s health concerns.
For the safety and security of our campers and staff, visitors, including parents/guardians, will not be permitted inside School buildings or to congregate on campus unless you are attending a final camp performance or showcase. All drop-off and pick-up will take place outside. You are welcome to drop off any forgotten items at the front desk by the flag poles. The St. John's Security Team will monitor the campus throughout the day, including carpool.
You will receive additional detailed carpool instructions in your Welcome Letter sent via email in mid-May.
