If your child will be late to camp (arriving after 9:00 am) parents must contact the camp leaders to ensure that a counsellor will be there to meet you and your child at the normal drop off/pick up location to allow for camper sign in, and then escort the camper safely to the activity location. If you have not called ahead of time and are running late you will not be able to enter the facility due to new COVID restrictions. You must call and receive confirmation that a camp leader will meet you.

DO NOT leave your child unattended to find his/her group or enter the building unsupervised.

In the event that a camper needs to leave camp early, parents should inform the camp leaders as soon as possible.

We reserve the right to ask you to withdraw from camp for multiple late pick up occurrences.

To ensure their safety, all campers must be signed in at the time of drop off and signed out at the time of pick up by a parent/guardian. Parents/guardians must indicate the names of the authorized persons for pickup on the online summer camp mandatory forms and everyone must show photo identification in order to sign out a child. Should a parent/guardian wish to add an authorized person(s) to the approved pick up and drop off list for their child they may contact the Camp Director at campdirector@waldorfacademy.org.

If a parent/guardian is not available, an authorized individual (as documented at the time of the online enrolment or added as noted in the process above) will be permitted to sign a camper in and out upon presentation of a government-issued photo ID (drivers license, passport, etc.). Campers will not be permitted to leave the camp without permission. Should a camper leave without permission, the Camp Director will telephone the parent to inform them that the child has left without permission. Depending on the circumstances a staff member may need to physically restrain your child to prevent them from leaving camp and entering a dangerous situation.

We welcome your feedback; positive and constructive. Please address any concerns with the Camp leaders. They will have firsthand knowledge of the facility, the camp environment and your child and can usually quickly address and resolve any challenges you may have.
