Summer Camp 2009

   Welcome to a great, educational, fitness based, family oriented, and fun program. Listed is helpful information that will enhance your child’s camp experience

1. Lunch and Snacks. Please provide a cold lunch and a snack for your child to eat during the camp.Snacks range in price from 50¢ to $1.00. We have the kids drink water with snacks, unless they bring something from home.If you choose to pack your child’s snacks, please refrain from sending sodas. We do try to offer a healthier alternative to candy for your children for their snacks. Additionally, please let us know of any food allergies that your child may have.

2. Friday Lunch-We will order from Papa Johns Pizza on Friday. They will need to bring a sack lunch on all other days. An order form for pizza will be available on the first day of camp. Pizza for the children will and may choose from either pepperoni, Canadian bacon or cheese. The cost for Pizza and drink is $3.00 per child.

3. Drop-off and Pick-up. You are required, daily, to sign in and out as you drop off and pick-up your child. If you are to send someone other than the parent or legal guardian you must call in advance or give the person who is picking them up a signed note from you stating they may pick up your child.

4.Games and Activities.  All the children will be grouped according to their ability, age, gender and interest to allow them to get most out of each workout.

Some of they activities the can select are gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, climbing, fitness and trampoline.

5. Spanish Lessons.  Every day after lunch Mrs. Cecil will offer a 30- 45 minutes lesson. Spanish activities will included fun activities such as bingo, organized games in Spanish, movies and more. This lesson will allow the children to digest their food before our afternoon workout.   

6.  Wet & Wild Days. On Thursday, send your child with a beach towel, swimsuit, and sunscreen. Slip and slide, inflatable water slide, water balloons, and sprinklers, just as long as it is wet and fun.

7. Discipline. It would certainly be the ideal situation if we did not have to discipline anyone’s child. However, children need to learn that there are consequences for their bad behavior. Step one: Give a warning. The child will be told to stop the behavior that is not acceptable, or else they will have to go to time out. Step two: Send them to time out. If they do not listen to the warning, they will be placed in time out. Step three:Once in time out, it will be explained to them why they are in time out and that they are to stay there until the coach comes to get them. Step four: When your child’s time is up, the coach will explain again why they were placed in time out, and they will be asked for an apology. Once they have given the apology, they may leave time out. If a child continues to misbehave during the day, parents will be called to come and pick them up. In the event that a parent has to be called, the child will have to be picked up within one hour. There is no refund for children who are sent home due to bad behavior.

8. Is there something else we should know about your child? Help us to better serve you by adding additional comments we should know about your child on the signature page of this packet. Is there a medical condition, fear, concern, etc.? Put it in writing and give it to the staff.

9. Dress Code. Please send your child to camp in comfortable clothing that has no snaps, zippers or buttons, as these can get caught on equipment in the gym. Girls should not wear dresses or skirts. T-shirts and shorts with elastic waist bands are preferable and the most comfortable for the activities that they will participate in. Leotards are a good choice for girls. Shorts and T-shirts for boys.

10. No Electronics. This includes I pods, cell phones, game boys or Nintendo DS, etc. Any child caught using these items will forfeit them.

11.-Personal items .Please do not allow your child to bring blankets, pillows or their personal toys.

17. Injury-In the event of an injury, we overreact. We ice, elevate, restrict activities, and then ask questions. We do all we can to prevent incidents, but realize it is impossible prevent them all. Make sure that you completed all required health information on your child’s registration form to better help us serve you and your child in the case of an accident.
