SparkSquad will provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks for all campers. Should participants prefer to bring their own meals, there is a refrigerator and microwave available for use. 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): SparkSquad will provide welding jackets, welding helmets, safety glasses, dust masks, and ear protections for the campers. Campers will need to purchase youth MIG welding gloves. Amazon does have these types of gloves and sizing guides available. Blue Demon is one brand that has welding gloves designed for kids. If you need help purchasing gloves, please give us a call at (620) 332-5618.

Dress Code: Campers are required to wear jeans and 100% cotton shirts. Long-sleeved shirts are recommended, though short-sleeved shirts are permissible. Wool and polyester blends are prohibited. Shorts, sweatpants, and sandals are not permitted. Leather work boots are suggested.

Safety Mindset: Campers will look out for each other to make sure work is done in a safe manner. Harassment and horseplay are strictly prohibited. Welding shops are designated safe areas, but they can become hazardous if students engage in running, pushing, or playing practical jokes on each other. Any camper who compromises the safety of the camp or mistreats another participant will be immediately dismissed.
