If attending week 5, payment is due Monday of week 3). This is to insure your camper gets scheduled for the tracks they choose and for the C3 staff to prepare for the number of campers from week to week. A $20 deposit is due at the time of registration for each week signed up for. The deposit goes toward the total weekly payment. Any cancelations must be made at least two week before the week occurs. Cancellation can be submitted in writing or by to the camp staff. Failure to do so will forfeit your $20 deposit. Payments are weekly rates and we do not prorate for days missed during the camp week. Two Weeks Before: $100 One Week Before: $115 Week of Camp: $130

4 Drop off / Pick up Drop off and pick up will always be done at the same place. When you come through the main entrance of the park, you will see the FAC (Family Activity Center). This is where you will make your camp payments (as seen in the image below). To the right of the FAC main office is the Waldridge Center. This is where campers will be dropped off and leave their belongings. Parents and campers will be greeted by C3 camp staff and taken to their next location. THE HANGOUT is the time between 7:30 & 8:30. It s a time when kids can wake up, hang with their friend and play some games. 8:30 is when we really get rocking with our activity, so don t miss any of the action by sleeping in! No matter what time you come to pick up your camper, you will pick up at the Waldridge Center. A C3 staff member will be present and will assist you in the sign out process and bring your camper to you. Campers may still be out on park grounds so please be patient in the process. Please have your ID available for pick up. THE CHILL is a time to wind down after a crazy day of fun! Much like THE HANGOUT campers will chill with their friends have free time and play some games. A great way to end each day! Rec Field FAC Entrance Payments Waldridge Center Entrance Drop off & Pick up

We call these TRACKS. We offer 15 different tracks to choose from.

Each camper is asked to fill out their top 6 tracks that they want to do for the week.

Each week has its own track card, so in the event your camper comes multiple weeks be sure to fill out all

From there the campers will be scheduled into their track times based on the campers age and interest.

5 Tracks? What's That? C3 Summer is changing the way we play, by letting campers decide the activities they do! We call these TRACKS. We offer 15 different tracks to choose from. Campers will learn new drills and games at each track. Each camper is asked to fill out their top 6 tracks that they want to do for the week. This form will be found in the back with the camper application form. Each week has its own track card, so in the event your camper comes multiple weeks be sure to fill out all the cards for the weeks your camper will attend. Who knows, you may want to switch it up from week to week! From there the campers will be scheduled into their track times based on the campers age and interest. Groups will consist of kids per track. Track Times (i.e. Activities) Rec Field Games Soccer Canoeing Baseball Golf Playground Fishing Tennis Gaga Ball Basketball Hiking Trails Swimming Flag Football Volleyball Horseback Riding *Campers will be transported for tracks that are further away, but still on park grounds by trolley or park vans (horseback riding).

Swimming Most of our swimming will be done at the outdoor pool during the summer. Great thing about tracks is if your camper wants to go swimming everyday, they can!

Lake Shelby gives us the opportunity to canoe all day long!

Golf We have the luxury of having a great golf course right on the park, run by our PGA professional Derrick Griffitts. Golf will only be offered on Wednesday's during the Track time D.

Sports Tracks (6 different tracks) We have plenty of different sports tracks to offer (baseball, basketball, soccer, flag football, tennis and volleyball), feel free to put them all in your top 6!

Campers gather in a giant pit, where it s every kid for themselves! You can not pick up the ball, you can only punch or smack the ball at an opponent.

This track will take place at Shelby Trails, a Shelbyville/Shelby County Park.

Because of the location and nature of the track, campers will spend multiple track times at this track. Rec Field This is your good old fashion games like, kickball and capture the flag!

6 Swimming Most of our swimming will be done at the outdoor pool during the summer. Great thing about tracks is if your camper wants to go swimming everyday, they can! Make sure you check out our pool rules and go over them with your camper. Canoeing Canoeing is something that most people don t get to do on a regular basis but that s not true for C3 summer camp! Lake Shelby gives us the opportunity to canoe all day long! Campers are required to wear lifejackets that are supplied by Shelby County Parks and to stay in the boat at all times while out on the water. Golf We have the luxury of having a great golf course right on the park, run by our PGA professional Derrick Griffitts. Golf will only be offered on Wednesday's during the Track time D. Campers will participate in a clinic style program with Derrick Griffitts PGA, and even play the course in some incenses. If golf is an interest of your camper make sure to put it high in your top 6. Sports Tracks (6 different tracks) We have plenty of different sports tracks to offer (baseball, basketball, soccer, flag football, tennis and volleyball), feel free to put them all in your top 6! At each track campers will do fun drills, play games and have a blast. Gaga Ball We love Gaga ball here at C3. It is kind of like dodgeball bellow the knees (pictured in the top right). Campers gather in a giant pit, where it s every kid for themselves! You can not pick up the ball, you can only punch or smack the ball at an opponent. If your camper puts Gaga ball in their top 6 they wont be disappointed. Horseback Riding There are not many camps where you get to go horseback riding! This track will take place at Shelby Trails, a Shelbyville/Shelby County Park. Campers will be transported by van to Shelby Trails where they will receive instruction from professionals in the Equestrian industry. Because of the location and nature of the track, campers will spend multiple track times at this track. Rec Field This is your good old fashion games like, kickball and capture the flag! Games where campers get a lot of energy out. Campers will play a number of different games at the rec field track. Fishing Access to Lake Shelby gives us access to one of the best outdoor activities, fishing! Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has supplied all equipment we need for the whole summer, so no need to bring your own pole. We ve got you covered. Hiking Clear Creek Park is home to several hiking trails that take you on all kinds of adventure. Campers may also go to Red Orchard Park by van to experience the trails at another beautiful Shelbyville/Shelby County Park. Playground Little Heroes Playground is the best playground in the Shelby County area! Campers will get to run, jump, climb, slide and swing. Playground time will also sometimes be offered during the chill, so if your camper is interested in some other tracks, make those a priority.

8 The safety of your camper is our number one priority. The way the camp is set up will leave little opportunity for an incident to occur. ID will need to be provided when picking up your camper and in no circumstance can a camper leave with someone that is not on their pick up list. If you need to add a person to the pick up list or have an emergency, please notify an Assistant Director or Program Director. The tracks are to allow the campers to pick what they want to do for the week but it is also a more safe way to do activities. Large groups of campers are hard to handle, that s why our tracks stay between campers at a time. C3 staff will constantly take counts of the campers in their tracks and have a list of names of who should be in their track. Every C3 staff member is First Aid, CPR and AED certified. Pool areas are big areas of concern when it comes to safety. All lifeguards are trained in water safety and are First Aid, CPR and AED certified. Pools and concession areas are routinely inspected by the health department to insure things are up to code. We encourage you to put sunscreen on your camper. C3 staff will be equipped with spray sunscreen that can be applied to your camper. Also feel free to send your own if your camper uses a certain brand or type. In the event that a camper goes missing, there are very strict steps and procedures that all park staff must follow. All Assistant Camp Directors, Program Director and Park & Rec Director will be notified and shut down areas of the park where the incident occurred. These steps range from individual area shut downs to a Park wide shut down. Please instruct your camper to stay with the group at all times. Never hide from a staff member or horseplay during times of transition and counts.

12 We ask that all campers conduct themselves in an appropriate manner while at camp. We want campers to have as much fun as they possibly can, that s why following the rules is important.

C3 staff will never put their hands on a camper, unless to restrain them from causing physical harm to themselves or others. We will not tolerate Bullying Foul or inappropriate language Verbal or Physical abuse to other campers or staff Continuous Disrespect to C3 Staff or other campers If your camper is found doing any of the above mentioned they are at risk of being suspended for a day, a week or even the entire C3 summer camp.
