You may request for your child to be grouped with a friend (or friends), but please be sure your grouping requests fit within the age division parameters listed above. Grouping requests must be made on the application, not on the first day of camp. They will be grouped by their age average. The maximum age difference allowed is 18 months and must be within the age division.

Insurance

Accident insurance is provided for each camper at no extra charge.

Lunch

Please send a marked lunch (including drink) with your child each day. Do not pack glass bottles or containers! Due to the high number of "lost & found" lunchboxes left at camp, we recommend (but do not require) packing lunch in a disposable bag.

Clothing

We suggest sneakers, shorts and a t-shirt (camp t-shirts will be available for you to purchase). Each camper should bring a bathing suit and towel in a bag (modest one-piece bathing suits only). All personal belongings should be marked with the camper's name.

Medical Procedures

We always have a camp nurse on duty. The nurse's office is located at the pool.

If your child will need to take any prescription medication during Day Camp hours, a Physician's Medication Order Form must be completed and signed by a Physician before any medication can be administered. Medications that would need this form include any prescription drug, including inhalers. Medications are to be left with our camp nurse on the first day of your child's day camp session. All Physician's Medication Order Forms must be sent in to our office by mail or fax prior to camp. At the end of your child's Day Camp session, be sure to pick up the medication from our camp nurse. If your child has a severe/life-threatening food allergy, a Food Allergy Action Plan must be completed and sent to our office prior to camp.
