Safety Policies and Procedures

Illness Policy

In the event of illness, such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever or any other illness that would prevent a child from participating in group activities, parents will be notified. Once notified, parents must make immediate arrangements to have their child picked up. In addition to being in the

best interest of the camper, these precautions are taken to help prevent the spread of illness to other campers and staff members.

Emergency Communication

In the event of an emergency that involves a camper, the camper’s parents or legal guardians will be notified immediately. We will attempt to contact the camper's emergency contacts if we are unable to reach a parent or legal guardian. If we are unable to get in touch with those listed, the Camp Director will step in and act in the best interest of the child (based on the decisions of the emergency medical staff) and, on behalf of the parent, provide any necessary medical treatment for the child.

Sunny Day Awareness, Application of Sunscreen and Insect Repellent

Please be aware that we may spend time outside each day. Each camper

should bring a bottle of waterproof spray sunscreen on the first day of each session labeled with the child's name. Campers may apply sunscreen themselves. Please apply sunscreen to your camper in the morning before camp.

If you wish to send insect repellent with your child, it also must be labeled with your child's name. A lead counselor will apply insect repellent as needed.

Water Bottles and Hydration

Each camper must bring a water bottle every day. The campers will have plenty of opportunities to refill their water bottles. Hydration is very important, and counselors will remind campers to drink water throughout the day.

Weapons Policy

ABSOLUTELY NO WEAPONS, REAL OR FAKE, will be permitted on-site at any time.

Campers may not bring anything to camp resembling a weapon; this includes guns, knives, swords, slingshots, any weapon-like plastic toys,or water pistols. Camp staff reserves the right to confiscate any toy or object deemed dangerous or resembling a weapon at their discretion.

Any camper bringing a real weapon to camp of any sort will be expelled from the program permanently and reported to the police. There will be NO exceptions to this rule.
