Commonly Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are your Pick Up & Drop Off Procedures? Every camper must be signed in and out for the day. If someone other than the parent who is dropping the child off is picking up, they must be on the authorized pickup/drop off list prior to that day. Authorized pickups should be prepared to show ID.
What Should I Bring to School Days Off Camp? Campers should always bring a bring a bottle of water to camp. A hat, jacket, & sunscreen are also recommended. Remember, it's a variety of activities so make sure to bring comfy clothes, closed-toed shoes (No Heely's or Sandals), and a pair of extra socks!
My child is on medication. How does the staff handle this? Please make sure your Administration of Medication Authorization Form is filled out. This can be found in the Welcome to Camp email you receive prior to your child’s first day of camp. Our Camp Director stores all medication and distributes it, if necessary.
What Should I NOT Bring to School Days Off Camp? Campers should avoid bringing electronic devices, including iPads or handheld devices. If you feel more comfortable, we will allow cell phones but they must be kept in their bags unless discussed previously. Please avoid bringing toys. We will have everything they need in our building. Finally, no cash in their bags or lunch boxes. If you bring money, please have it in a Ziploc bag or put it in an envelope labeled with the camper’s name.
Are there any extra charges for field trips? As of right now, there are no extra charges for trips! We will be attending the Beach Ottumwa on some Fridays, but it will be included in the registration fee.
