EVERYTHING ELSE PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CAMP KROC. DROP-OFF/PICK-UP PROCEDURES

CAMP WAIVER/MEDICAL FORMS

Campers must be dropped off between 9–9:30am and picked up by 3:30pm. Adults authorized to pick-up children (including parents) will be required to show identification at pick-up. A Sign-Out Waiver Form must be completed by both parent and child for a camper to be allowed to sign him/herself in and out of Camp Kroc. When a child is given the authority to sign him/herself out, he/she is no longer in the care of The Kroc Center staff and standard Kroc Center membership policies apply. 24-hour notification is needed for late drop-off or early pick-up if the event has been pre-planned. A phone call to the Program Coordinator(s) in the case of unexpected absence or schedule changes is required.

Consistent late pick-up may be penalized with fee.

Each camper must have a parent or guardian sign a camp waiver and supply correct and updated medical information in regards to their child(ren). Waiver(s) must be completed and signed prior to camp participation, preferably at time of registration.

LATE SIGN-UP POLICY A $10 late fee is applied to all registrations and balances paid anytime after the Friday prior to the start of the next week’s camp.

MEDICAL PROTOCOL As a parent, if your child has any special medical needs, please include these with the desired response on the Registration Form. These will include, but are not limited to, any medical or behavioral diagnoses that may affect your child’s experience at camp. Updates can be made throughout the summer based on a case-by-case basis and will be reported directly to camp coordinators. By providing this information, you are providing our staff with the knowledge and ability to provide the best care possible for your child. Please note that there will be no nurse/ doctor on-call at The Kroc Center.

CANCELLATIONS/REFUND POLICY

POOL AREA/SWIMMING EVALUATIONS

Full payment is expected at the time of enrollment. No cash refunds are given unless the program is cancelled by The Kroc Center. If the program is cancelled by The Kroc Center, you will be given the choice of a full credit or a cash refund. If you request to cancel your class enrollment five or more days prior to the first class, you will receive a full credit on your Kroc Center account minus a $25 processing fee or you may choose to transfer to another session if available. Requests made less than five days prior to the start date are not eligible for a refund or credit, except in the case of personal emergencies. No credits or pro-rated credits will be issued for missed days of camp or class due to illness, partial attendance, behavior issues, or any other reason.

Swim tests to determine ability (for safety purposes) will be conducted on the first day of camp by our Aquatics Staff. Once ability is established, children will be allowed to participate in designated areas. Appropriate swim attire is required. Counselors will assist children at all times while in the pool and both areas will be fully staffed with trained, certified lifeguards. Children must be at least 48” tall in order to have safe access to the large water slide.

DAY CAMP VISITORS

LOST AND FOUND

Camper Code of Conduct

Lost and found items will be kept for a period of two weeks after a session, then donated to the local Salvation Army Thrift Store. The lost and found is located at the front desk of The Kroc Center.

1. Campers must stay with their age group and be accompanied by a counselor during all Camp Kroc activities.

MEDICATION DISTRIBUTION

2. Campers must remain with Camp Kroc staff members at all times unless checked-out by an authorized adult with photo I.D.

Any day camp visitors for all children and staff will be required to sign-in, and will be given a name tag to identify the individual as a visitor of Camp Kroc.

In the case of medication distribution, parents must complete a Right to Distribute Medication Form. This releases The Kroc Center from liability for medication that is required for distribution for the health of a child. Medication must be dropped off to Camp Coordinators in the original prescription container with your child’s name printed on the label and placed in a plastic bag. Medication will be stored in Camp Coordinator’s office and administered at the time(s) and in the amount designated by the Right to Distribute Medication Form. Parents must sign out medication at the end of each day and check back in the following day. Any medication not brought in the appropriate container may preclude camp participation for your child on that day.

ILLNESS AND INJURIES Camp Kroc is not designed or equipped to handle ill children. If your camper becomes ill while at Camp Kroc, our staff will make your child comfortable in an area away from the other campers. Our staff will then contact you (the parent) or one of the individuals you have authorized to pick up your child. If immediate medical attention is needed or if the severity of an injury cannot be correctly established, parents will be notified immediately. The Emergency Medical System (911) will be activated at the discretion of Camp Coordinators and/or Camp Counselors. If staff is unable to reach parents whose child is in need of immediate medical attention, he/she will be transported to the nearest hospital via ambulance and staff will continue to attempt to contact parents. Parents/guardians will be responsible for all emergency medical care expenses.

HOW TO SIGN-UP Camp Kroc does fill early! Sign-up in advance to guarantee your child's spot. Download a Camp Kroc application at kroccda.org/campkroc.html and return to the front desk.

3. Camp attendees are expected to respect peers, The Kroc Center staff and the facility at all times.

4. The use of foul language, abusive actions, and inappropriate behavior is prohibited.

6. Alcohol and/or drugs are not allowed anywhere on the premises or at any location where Camp Kroc is taking place.

7. Shirt and shoes must be worn in all areas outside of pools and sundeck. No swimwear or wet clothing is allowed outside of aquatic areas. Any logos or messages on clothing must be acceptable in a family setting.

8. Bicycles, roller blades, skateboards, scooters or pets (excluding service animals) will not be allowed inside the facility.

9. The Kroc Center staff reserves the right to dismiss a camper without a refund who does not meet behavior expectations.

11

Camp Kroc Staff & Safety It takes a special person to be a counselor for our campers, your kids. Camp Kroc Counselors have to be energetic, enthusiastic, fun—but also trained to respond quickly and efficiently in any situation. Your child’s safety is our number one priority.

KEY SAFETY GUIDELINES • All staff members will receive First Aid and CPR certification from The American Red Cross.

• When taking a field trip, a senior counselor with The Salvation Army Decisive Driving Certification will drive.

• Emergency action plans will be created for each planned activity.

• Adventure Camp staff will be equipped with cell phones and first aid kits, as well as all emergency information needed for each participant.

• The two main beaches that Camp Kroc will visit are staffed by full-time lifeguard staff beside our summer camp staff. Lifeguard staff will be notified of Camp Kroc’s presence prior to the scheduled day.

• There will be a 1:10 counselor to child ratio at minimum, at all times. The names of the campers will be kept on staff at all times and “check-ins” will be required between each activity.

• At least one counselor at each aquatic activity will be lifeguard certified. In addition, Kroc lifeguards will be present during all swim sessions that take place at The Kroc Center.

• A first aid kit and a list of medications and allergies will be on camp staff at all times. Parental emergency contact information will remain on staff no matter the activity, and cell phones will be allotted to multiple staff members for emergency purposes and to remain in contact with the Camp Director.
