Safety is our number one concern for your children. All of our employees have passed criminal background checks. At no point in our schedule will your child be left unsupervised. Our program aides receive comprehensive training and will be on campus before, between, and after classes begin to help direct children to their camps. We also enforce a sign-in/out policy to ensure the safety of campers.
SPECIAL NEEDS & HEALTH NEEDS We welcome all children to our program and make our best effort to accommodate everyone. When filling out your child’s waiver, please make sure to include all information that would be relevant and important for our staff to know. If there are special health or behavioral needs, please contact our Activ8 office at 706.507.8282 or email assistance@columbusstate.edu at least one week prior to your child attending camp.
ABSENCES/SICKNESS • If your child is going to be absent or late, please email assistance@columbusstate.edu or call 706.507.8070 to let us know. • If a child is ill or injured during camp, every effort will be made to contact the guardian(s) listed on the waiver.

BAD WEATHER
• Lunch Supervision is available for Afternoon Session Campers who need to be dropped off at 12pm, or Morning Session Campers who need to stay until 1pm.
In case of bad weather (i.e. heavy rain, lightning or tornadoes), expect delays. We will keep all children indoors until the weather has passed and the staff has been authorized to go back outside. For the safety of your child, we ask that you allow inclement weather to pass before drop off/pick up. Our staff will make sure all children get to their destinations once authorization has been received. Please send an umbrella or poncho with your child if the weather requires it.
