WHAT TO BRING:
Each child must bring a lunch & a snack each day, a bathing suit, appropriate clothing, sunscreen, sun-glasses, and a water bottle. Clothing should be marked. PLEASE DO NOT BRING: Personal stereos or electronic games or a bad attitude. This program encourages children to interact with each other and the environment.

DISCIPLINE:
All disciplinary matters will be handled by the staff and program director, and more serious problems will be brought to the attention of the Parks and Rec. Director. Children may be removed from the program if the situation warrants. This is necessary to maintain a quality program for the benefit of all participants.

RAINY DAYS:
We have limited access to indoor facilities on rain days, and will do our best to provide adequate arrangements. However, if you can make alternate arrangements for your child, it may be better for them.

Many different types of activities will be offered. Our goal is to provide experiences that each camper will enjoy and provide the opportunity to grow, learn and have fun.
