POLICIES AND FURTHER INFO
SUNSCREEN POLICY:
Staff do not apply sunscreen to campers due to safety concerns. We do however take 2-3
breaks during the day to allow everyone to re-apply sun screen while staff monitor, to be
sure all the hard spots are covered. We suggest sending an extra t-shirt on days when we
are in the water all day. Check expiry date on sunscreen bottle.
CAMPER-STAFF RATIOS:
DAY CAMPS: To best serve all of our members, participants will be placed in predetermined groups based on their age. Each group of campers will have a minimum of one
adult supervisor as their direct group leaders. The entire camp will still participate together
in most activities. This format will help ensure more individual attention to each child.
BEHAVIOUR POLICY:
For the safety and enjoyment of all participants during our summer camps, the following
behaviour policy will be implemented.
Behaviour deemed unsafe and/or inappropriate to the individual or those around them will
NOT be tolerated and brought forth to parents/guardians for positive resolution.
Continued extreme behaviour may result in the youth being unable to attend for the
remainder of the program. Prior to further program registrations being explored, a
collaborative meeting with parents is encouraged to determine what supports may be put into
place to ensure the youth’s success.
NO refund will be issued if a child is removed from program due to behavioural issues. The
youth will still remain eligible to register in upcoming club activities beginning in the Fall
2015.
CELL PHONES:
Please do not send cell phones with your child for use during program times. If you need to
contact your child on extended trips for emergency purposes, please call the On-Call phone
(the number will be provided at the beginning of the camp). If your child wishes to call home
and a phone is accessible (which is not guaranteed), they will be allowed to do so.
NUT AWARENESS:
As a nut aware organization, please support us in being vigilant by reading food labels and
sending nut-free items in your child’s lunch.
*The club is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
