What happens if my child gets sick?
We have a nurse on duty to provide basic first aid.  Since we are a mobile camp, please try to keep your child home if he/she is not feeling well.

What are the bus rules and policies?

Because we travel daily, there are a few common sense procedures that we want the children to follow. Please note, due to circumstances beyond our control, buses may return back later than originally expected. Please review these rules with your child.

1. Seatbelts MUST be worn at all times.
2. No part of the child’s body may be outside a window.  During these hot days, all windows on the bus are open and we often travel busy roads. 
3. Children should remain in their seats while the bus is in motion and feet should be kept out of the aisles.  If a teacher/counselor has an emergency to tend to, they need the aisles to be clear.  In addition, if the driver has to stop suddenly, a child could be hurt if not totally behind the seat in front of him/her.
4. Eating and drinking on the bus are not permitted.  However, if the need arises, the teacher/counselor will use their judgment in making an exception.    

 

  What are the policies on swimming?
Swimming at lakes and beaches is part of our camp program.  Please speak with your child about the following:

1. All of the children will receive a camp shirt during the first few days.  For easy identification in large crowds, they must wear this shirt on all field and beach trips.  For lake/beach trips, have your child bring an extra t-shirt. 

2. Waterproof suntan/bug lotion with a sun block of 15 or higher is recommended.  Please apply before your child leaves home.  Counselors and aides can assist children upon request. 
3. Prices tend to be high at concession stands.  Please send your child with extra water or sports drinks on trip days.  Please do NOT send large coolers in with your child.
4. Please pack your child’s lunch with as little disposable paper as possible.  Garbage collection at state parks is minimal; whatever the children take in, they take out.  NO glass containers. 
5. Your child must listen to directions from staff members.  No child leaves a beach or lake area without being accompanied.  All children must be accompanied to rest rooms and snack areas
