3 Getting Ready for Camp Camp Checklist Verify that the confirmation statement included in this packet is correct. Call us right away if you see a discrepancy. You will not receive any other reminders; this is the only confirmation you will receive. Sign and return a completed Health and Emergency Form (see p. 7) to the college BEFORE Monday, June 26 or at least two weeks before your first camp s start date. Make sure everyone authorized to pick up your camper is listed. You may also add names later. If your child needs to take medication during camp, bring a completed Medication Administration Authorization Form (included here and at carrollcc.edu/summerkids) with you on the first day of camp. Be sure your health care provider has signed it. Review the Procedures in this handbook, especially Drop- Off and Pick-Up, to make your first day go smoothly. If your child is attending a camp held at Carroll County Career and Technology Center (cooking) or the Preschool Curiosity Shop, review the Camp/Location-Specific Information section in this handbook for special procedures. Health Information Maryland state regulations require that a current Health and Emergency Contact Form be on file for each participating camper. You need to complete a new form even if your child/teen attended camp here in the past. Please submit your form BEFORE Monday, June 26 or at least two weeks before your first camp s start date. Without this completed form on the first day, your child will not be able to participate! If the college receives the form prior to the second session, he/she may attend beginning with the second session. If the college does not receive the Health and Emergency Contact Form prior to the second session, your child will not be eligible to participate and you will not be eligible for a refund. A camp nurse is on call during most camp hours. Indicate any medical concerns on the Health and Emergency Contact Form. If the nurse has any questions, you will be called the week before your camp. Examples of medical concerns include, but are not limited to: medications used during the camp day, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, seizures or heart defects. Campers who are required to carry an Epi pen must indicate so, on the form. If you are unsure about anything medically related, contact us! 1 Safety Safety is a top priority! Children age 12 and under are supervised at all times and may not travel through the campus without a staff escort. In addition, at the end of the camp day they must be signed out by an authorized adult. However, teens age 13 and over are given a little more independence and may visit restrooms without staff supervision and, with parent approval, may sign themselves out at the end of camp (see Pick- Up Procedures). All other movement through the campus and at lunch is supervised. In compliance with DHMH regulations, a background check is conducted for all staff, volunteers and instructors (including those who are teaching for our partners). For the children s safety, the college also prohibits the enrollment of individuals listed on any State Services Sex Offender registry and/or Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Sex Offender registry. (Off-site contract training for clients may be exempt.) Unexpected College Closings Staff will contact each family directly with instructions. Campers will remain supervised until picked up. Register for the college s free Emergency Notification System at Messages about any emergency closings will be sent directly to your and/or cell phone. Medication No medication will be administered without the Medication Authorization Form signed by the health care provider. This includes campers with insulin pumps, asthma inhalers and Epi pens. Find this form on page 9, at summerkids and, during the summer, at the administration table in the gym. Nut Allergies We do not knowingly include nuts or nut products in any of the snacks served as part of the program. However, the college cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. Special Camper Needs Summer!Kids@Carroll + Teen College is committed to providing accessible education and a supportive learning environment for all students. To help us meet this goal, after you have registered, please contact our Disability Support Services, at least four weeks before the start of the earliest camp to inform the College of any physical disabilities or behavioral/social challenges your child has and to arrange for reasonable accommodations. A staff member will contact you to discuss your child s individual needs and determine what reasonable accommodations can be made. Carroll Community College does not provide medical assistants or personal care attendants. Campers are expected to exhibit independence and ability for self-care. Parents are not permitted to attend camp with their child.

4 Coming to Camp First Day of Camp (Monday) Note: See Camp/Location-Specific Information for special procedures for camps held at Carroll County Career and Technology Center and Preschool Curiosity Shop. 1.

Camp staff will be stationed along the route to supervise If you arrive late and no greeters are present please walk your child or teen to the Continuing Education and Training office, Room A115 (see map) to be checked in. Do NOT go to the classroom. The college cannot be responsible for campers dropped off without a staff member present. Children cannot be supervised for morning programs before 8:45 a.m. unless they are registered for the Start-Up Time. We cannot supervise afternoon participants before 1 p.m. Handicap Parking Ample handicapped parking is available close to the gym. If this is needed, please let one of the program staff know and they will move the cones blocking the road so that you can park close to the building. Pick-up Procedures Note: See Camp-Specific Information for special procedures for camps held at Carroll County Career and Technology Center and Preschool Curiosity Shop. Be sure to review your pick-up plan with your camper and arrange to pick them up promptly at the end of the camp, either at noon or 4:15 p.m. (afternoon camps at Carroll County Career and Technology Center end at 4 p.m.). If you are delayed, call us at (Preschool Curiosity Shop at ) and we will let you know where to pick up your camper. For children age 5 12 Children must be signed out from the gym by an authorized adult. The college will only release your camper to those listed as authorized on the Health and Emergency Contact Form. We do not check ID s when the campers are picked up. For teens age 13 and over With a signed Self Sign Out Authorization Form (see p. 6) on file, teen campers may sign themselves out. Self Sign Out Authorization Forms are in this handbook, at carrollcc.edu/summerkids and will also be available from the instructor and at the administration table in the gym throughout the summer. Pick-up teen campers at the yellow Kids@Carroll banner. During inclement weather they may wait in the lobby of the K building. Without a signed Self Sign Out Authorization Form on file, teens must be signed out from the gym by an authorized adult (see procedure for children age 5 12). Early Pick-Up At the time of drop-off please inform the instructor and/or program staff that you will be picking up your camper early. For Kids@Carroll and Teen College: Complete an Early Pick-Up Form (available in the gym and at carrollcc.edu/summerkids) and provide it with program staff or instructor. Pick up your camper at the designated time from the Continuing Education and Training office, Room A115 (see map). Do NOT go to the classroom. For camps at Carroll County Career and Technology Center (CCCTC) Complete the Early Pick-Up Form and give it to camp staff. Pick up your camper at the curb in front of the CCCTC building at the designated time. 2

5 For Preschool Curiosity Shop Pick up your camper directly from the Child Development Center. Start-Up and Wind-Down Time Your camper may start their day with us at 7:30 a.m. and end their day at 6 p.m. Campers will be supervised at all times and may choose from a variety of unstructured activities or bring their own games. If your camper needs to be here before 8:45 a.m. or after 4:30 p.m., then they must be registered for Start-Up or Wind-Down Time. Start-Up and Wind-Down Time is not available for Preschool Curiosity Shop campers. Lunch and Snacks Light snacks (i.e. popcorn, pretzels, Goldfish, apples and water) are provided for both morning and afternoon programs. Children age 5 12 are NOT given the opportunity to purchase snacks from the vending machines. Teens age 12 and up may purchase snacks from the vending machines. Campers may also bring their own unrefrigerated snacks from home. Campers who are registered for full day camps or are here for both morning and afternoon camps are automatically supervised during the lunch period. Campers age 5 11, should bring a lunch and drink that do not need refrigeration. Purchased meals at the café or vending machines are not allowed for this age. Teens age 12 and up may purchase lunch from the college Café. No camper may purchase from the Starbucks Kiosk. We are sorry that we cannot supervise children during lunch who are only here a half day. Behavior We ask all campers to remember that college is in session and administrative offices are open for business.

Help us maintain a fun learning environment by reminding campers of the following: Cell phones must remain off during camp sessions. If you need to reach your child while camp is in session, please call our office ( ) and a message will immediately be delivered to your child. Cell phones, electronic devices and small games may be used during lunch, Start-Up and Wind-Down periods, but not during camp sessions. Field Trips Some camps include special trips as an enhancement to the children s learning. You will receive a permission form on Monday that must be returned before the trip. We must have the signed permission form before a camper is allowed to participate in the field trip. Campers are supervised at all times during field trips. Camp Cancellations, Withdrawals and Refunds The college expects all programs to be presented as scheduled, but a program could be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. Cancellation decisions are made at least two weeks in advance and you will be contacted directly by telephone and/or . In the event that a program is cancelled, every effort will be made to either place your child in another program of his/her interest or provide a full refund. The college will make every effort to ensure that all programs are presented as scheduled. We understand that plans sometimes change.
