​

DROP-OFF & PICK-UP

Curbside Tip

The car line is usually a lot longer at the beginning of drop-off and pick-up times. It makes flow much better when parents do not come early or at the very beginning of drop-off and pick-up times. Note: See Curbside Drop-Off and Late Drop-Off & Early Pick-Up information below.

​

Drop-Off

This summer children will be dropped off curbside from 8am - 8:30am and pick-up between 4:30pm - 5:30pm. Parents will not need to leave the car. Pick up and drop off will take place on the rail trail side of the building between the fence and the building. Please arrive between those times to avoid drop off and pick-up delays. Please have your child ready to leave the car in a timely fashion to help traffic move along smoothly.

​

Late Drop-Off & Early Pick-Up

Parents must scan code. Parents must go inside and report to the indoor camp window when dropping off a child late or picking up a child early. Note: It may take a little time for camp staff to retrieve a child from a camp. Please give yourself a little extra time when picking up a child early.

​

Late Parent Pick-Up

There will be a $5.00 fee for every 5 minutes a parent or guardian is late for pick-up. Children attending regularly scheduled camp must be picked up no later than 5:30pm

​

ID Checks

To ensure the safety of each child, parents or adults picking up campers must know the child’s ID NUMBER. This number will be given to you on the first day of camp. Your child will not be released if his/her ID number is not known by the parent or adult doing the pickup. If you would like the identity of the individual picking up your child at the end of the day to be checked, please let the counselor and camp EMT/Nurse know each Monday morning that your child attends camp. The EMT/Nurse will be stationed near sign-ins each Monday morning.. A form must be filled out with a list of people who are eligible to pick up your child. Remember to put your own name on this list. Picture IDs of those persons listed along with your child’s camp ID number will be required at pick-up for parents who opt for this plan. The pick-up person will be ID’ed every day, even if it is the same person as the day before. Your child will not be able to leave with this person if ID is not presented.

​

REQUIRED CAMP FORMS

Note: Please try to upload Health Forms in advance before your child attends camp, this will give the camp Health Staff and the Health Department adequate time to review everything before the start of camp. The earlier the Health Forms are uploaded, the better. Thank you so much for your understanding.

Health Forms (required prior to Day 1)

All forms must be uploaded into your account prior to the first day of camp. See the Register section. New York State Department of Health mandates that Health forms be turned in before the first day of camp. Children will not be allowed to attend camp without them. You may use a health form provided by your physician. On the form, it is important to list contact numbers, immunization records, health history, and all other background information we should know about your child. Health forms from previous camp years will not be accepted, new forms must be submitted each year.

Waivers & Release Form (required prior to Day 1)

This will be taken care of in your account at time of registration. This form includes the waiver & release statement, pictures & video release statement, Rail Trail biking and hiking statements, and off-site camp activity consent.

​

Medication & Health Concerns (required prior to Day 1) 

All forms must be uploaded into your account prior to the first day of camp. See the Register​ section. Medications, allergies and health concerns should be explained to the EMT/Nurse and the child's head counselor on the first day of each week your child is registered for camp. The EMT/Nurse will be stationed near sign-ins each Monday morning. Please let the EMT/Nurse know if your child is on or temporarily off any medications.

​

Camp Prescription & Over The Counter Medication Form (option on Day 1) 

The NYS Health Department recommends that these forms are filled out by your child's physician if there is a chance that they may be taking medication during the camp day. It is legally mandated that children self administer medications under the supervision of the camp health staff. All forms must be uploaded into your account prior to the first day of camp. See the Register section.

​

Child Disabilities Form

As per amendments made in 2016 to the NYS DOH Children's Camp Code, camps have been advised to "identify camper disability information (developmental and/or physical disabilities) during the camp's enrollment process..." In addition, camps are advised to determine if such children have an "individual treatment, care, or behavioral plan that address a camper's unique physical, medical, behavioral, and/or social needs." Such a plan is not necessary, but if one exists the details should be shared with the camp. There will be a section on the camp Health Form for parents to explain disabilities that we should know about.

​

Picture Taking & Banding

Camp staff will be taking pictures and videos during each camp week. If you would not like pictures or videos to be taken of your camper(s), please let the counselor know at sign-in each day so they are banded. It will make it easier on the staff if all campers who are not allowed to have their pictures taken are banded. It is the parents responsibility to let the counselor know and sign-off on the NO PICTURE CONSENT FORM each day when dropping the camper(s) off.

​

Children with Special Needs

If your child requires a one-to-one aid in school, the parent of that child is required to provide an aid and inform the camp director before registering for camp. If a child has a shared aid in the school environment, the parent should call the camp director and discuss the available options prior to registering for any camp programs.

​

VISITING & SPECIAL EVENTS

Parent Visitation 

Parents are not allowed to be with or near children during the camp day. This rule is for the safety of the children and for the betterment of the program.

​

Special Events

Parents and campers will be invited to attend Special Events that will be held throughout the summer. Day and time of each event will be announced early in the week. Please CLICK HERE for the Calendar of Events

​

Special Event Parking 

Parents attending special events that will be held at the end of the week must park in the parking lot on the window side of the building toward the back of the parking lot. Parents will enter the building where the multiple glass doors are in the middle section of the building.  Parents who attend special events will sign children out before leaving the building with their child.

​

SAFETY

Sun Safety

Please apply sunscreen to your child each day before arriving to camp (waterproof sunscreen SPF 30 or more is suggested) and put an extra SPRAY bottle of sunscreen of your child's bag.

​

Rainy & Extremely Hot Days

On days of rain or extreme heat, outdoor programs will be moved indoors for the safety of the children. When this happens some camp schedules and offerings will be altered. Videos may be shown and camp activities may be altered.

​

Supervision of Campers

All campers will be supervised at all times between drop-off and pick-up time. Only CITs (ages 13 - 16) may be unsupervised during weeks signed up for the CIT program. This privilege may be taken away at the Counselor-in-Training Director's discretion.
