Yes, Welcome Fall and Good bye Summer! Summer might be over but it is now time to look forward to a new School Year. We would like to let all of our campers know that they will be missed and we are already looking forward to see them next summer camp!
We would like to welcome our former families and new families and children. We are gearing up to a great start full of learning opportunities, especial events and great adventures of endless possibilities.
Friendly reminder: We always look forward to a great fall season. It is important to ensure that students are safe. Please make sure your child wears closed-toe and closed-heel shoes (no sandals, crocs, or flipflops) as students can easily trip or scratch their feet and get tow nail injuries in these types of shoes. Please also make sure that your child has appropriate clothing for the weather.
IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT place any sunscreen, lotion, chap-stick, or other sunblock/medication in your child’s cubby. Licensing requires us to keep medications locked at all times. Please complete an authorization form if medicine needs to be provided to your child (including over the counter medicine). Medication needs to be clearly labeled in its original package with the child’s full name, and instructions, if over-the-counter, we will still need your physician to acknowledge the medication authorization form. We will not give medicine to your child if we do not have the doctors approval.
Please visit our Monthly Calendar for any updates and/or special reminders.
As always, thank you for partnering with us for the academic growth and overall success of your child. It is our goal that they do their very best each and every day.
