(See our Daily Theme Calendar under Activities) Our activities directors are constantly coming up with new activities so our campers are not doing the same thing every day. Our facility offers both air-conditioned indoor areas and outdoor areas for our campers to enjoy. WHAT IF MY CHILD DOES NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN A PARTICULAR ACTIVITY? We encourage every camper to at least try each activity. After they try it, if they still do not want to participate we will allow them to do something else. WHAT ARE THE CAMP HOURS?

Toddlers and Pre-K 1:4 Kindergarten and 1st grade 1:6 2nd and 3rd grade 1:8 4th through 9th grade 1:10 ARE MY CHILDREN WITH THE SAME STAFF EVERY DAY? We like our counselors to be consistent as we feel it is imperative for the staff and campers to get to know each other. Our staff is broken down as follows: Directors/Supervisors: Oversee different aspects of the camp as a whole Head Counselors: 2-3 Teachers/College students who are assigned to a specific grade for the entire summer. They handle the group administratively and oversee the day-to-day activities. Assistant Counselors: College/High School Students who assist the head counselors in organizing activities and getting the campers involved. These counselors can be assigned different groups as needed. DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BE POTTY TRAINED? WILL MY CHILD TAKE A NAP? All campers must be potty trained. The Toddler group does have a short quiet/rest time built in to their schedule. The Pre-K and K children do not take naps. DO CAMPERS GO OFF-SITE? We offer Field Trips such as baseball games, bouncy houses, waterparks, indoor trampoline facilities, and many more. These trips are optional and an additional fee to camp. Spots are reserved on a first come first serve basis. If your child is NOT attending a field trip they participate in a normal, fun day of camp! Majority of the campers remain on-site while a small group attends a field trip. In order to sign up for a field trip you must be registered for the day of camp as most trips are only 2-4 hours during the camp day. See our Field Trip page in the Registration Packet for a full list of trips. DO WE OFFER SNACKS & LUNCH? Snacks and lunches can be packed in an insulated bag or they are available for purchase.

ARE WE PEANUT/TREE NUT FREE? We are not a peanut/tree nut free facility. We do take many precautions to accommodate campers with food allergies. Our directors, nurse, and staff have a list of all campers with food allergies. If we have campers with severe food allergies we will set up a peanut free table for them to sit at. (They will not be excluded from the group. Counselors will make sure campers sitting with them have peanut/tree nut free food items.) All of our staff is familiarized with the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction and how to administer an epi-pen if needed. Tables are cleaned before every group enters the room. ARE THERE ANY ITEMS CAMPERS CANNOT BRING TO CAMP? Campers are not allowed to bring any electronics to camp. Cell phones, ipods, ipads, gaming systems, etc. are prohibited. If you feel your child needs to have their phone for emergencies it must stay in their bag. If a staff member sees them on ANY electronic device it will be confiscated and can be picked up by the parent at the end of the day. Toys from home should also stay at home unless there is a designated day to bring them in for a special occasion. Allaire Country Day Camp is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. WHAT IS OUR DISCIPLINE POLICY? We want our campers to have a fun, safe summer with us. In order to provide a good atmosphere, campers must follow basic rules of safety and respect. We have a no bullying policy. Our staff follows a 4 step procedure. 1. Head Counselors are trained to address any basic behavior issue with camper(s) 2. Supervisors will intervene when necessary and an incident report will be filled out and signed by a parent/guardian. 3. For any serious offense or persistent poor behavior we will do our best to work together with the camper and parent/guardian to come up with a solution. 4. As a last resort, in extreme circumstances, we will expel a child from camp. This is not a decision made lightly and we do everything we can to avoid this. DO WE OFFER SWIM LESSONS AT CAMP?
