If you arrive at the Clubhouse and the children are not in their designated rooms, please look for a note which will tell you where the children are located. When picking your child up after 5 pm, please use the public entrance by the soda machines. The main entrance will be locked so staff can better monitor visitors. Friday Field Trips & Fun Days Eagles campers will have field trips take place on Fridays and the exact destinations are to be announced. Field trips will include more local activities and attractions. Each week there is a field trip you will be asked to sign a transportation waiver that will give you times for travel and method of travel we will use. Since we do not have transportation of our own, we will use vans or charters vehicles for field trips. Please pack a bag lunch for your child(ren) on the weeks a field trip is scheduled. We will still provide two snacks for children on field trip days. It is very important that your child be dropped off on time on days we go on field trips.

If you wish for your child s swimming level to be assessed so they can swim in the deep end of the pool please be sure to initial in the section provided on the required medical forms. This section can be initialed at any time, so if you want your child to be assessed at a later date we can accommodate. Campers will need a swim suit and towel labeled with his or her name. Since swim time is in the morning, please feel free to send your child to camp in his or her swim suit (with clothes overtop) and pack a change of clothes for after swimming. Lockers will be available at the pool but you must provide a lock. Campers will not be allowed to use combination locks. If you do not send a lock, counselors will keep the children s bags in a centralized location on the pool deck. Forms Please return the following forms by June 13. If we do not have the proper forms for your child, they will not be allowed to stay at camp. Returning campers must fill out a new form each summer. The Required forms can be found on our website: Medical Form, Pick-Up and Drop-Off Policy, Discipline Policy Form & Photo Consent. Photo Consent Photographs taken during camp may be used for publication purposes. If you do not wish for your child to be included in publicized photographs, please be sure to make a note of this on the photo consent form.
Medication Do not send medication with your child. If your child needs to take medication while at camp, please fill out a permission form and leave the medication with a counselor. If you are leaving medication that lasts for more than one day, please make sure to pick it up on Friday or at the end of camp. Sunscreen Please send a bottle of sunscreen with your child s name on it. We will be glad to keep the sunscreen for the whole summer if you would prefer. Otherwise, please give it to the camp staff each morning. Please do not pack it in your child s backpack. Spray sunscreen is preferred due to easier application. Due to the amount of time campers spend outside, we ask them to apply sunscreen several times a day. When your child is running low or is out of sunscreen, a note will be sent home with him/her asking you to bring more. Toys, games, etc Please do not send toys of value to camp. This includes video games and mp3 players. Camp staff reserves the right to confiscate devices that are disruptive or being used inappropriately. All confiscated devices will be returned to parents at the end of the day. Camp Bur-Mil is not responsible for the loss of or damage to toys, electronic devices, or cell phones. Cell Phones Campers are allowed to bring cell phones to camp. However, they must be turned off and kept in their bag in their cubby. If your child is seen using the phone without permission camp counselors will take the phone and return it to parents/guardians at the end of the day. Valuables Please do not send items of value to camp with you child. Camp Bur-Mil cannot be held responsible for damages that occur to items your child brings with them.

We will provide two snacks each day. Eagles: Please send Eagles a bag lunch every day. We will provide two snacks each day. All Campers: Children are allowed to go to the vending machines during lunch and snack time if they have money. Please encourage your child to keep their money in a wallet or some other small, secure container to prevent loss. Please send small bills as we may not be able to make change. Sick Policy We at Camp Bur-Mil strive to provide a safe and healthy environment for your children. For the protection of all campers in the program, parents/guardians should not send a child to camp if the child shows any of the following symptoms: temperature, diarrhea, vomiting, a rash, nasal discharge, or discharging eyes or ears, or conjunctivitis (pink eye). If symptoms develop during the day, parents/guardians may be asked to pick up the child immediately.
Accidents and Emergencies Camp staff members are trained in First Aid and CPR/AED. For minor injuries, a trained staff member will provide care. For major injuries camp staff will contact a parent/guardian or emergency contact(s), and if needed, have the child picked up. If the injury warrants immediate medical attention, 911 will be called. For all injuries, the camp staff will complete a Camper Injury Report, which will be given to parents/guardians at the end of the day. Parents/guardians will be asked to sign a copy of the form for our records. Dress Campers will be provided a cubby each day to store their possessions. Casual dress is the standard for Camp Bur-Mil. We do, however, engage in activities throughout the day that involve the chance of getting dirty such as outdoor games or arts and crafts, so please dress your camper accordingly. Also, closed toe shoes are required for many camp activities. Crocs and sandals are considered open toe. Sending along a pair of flip flops for the pool is fine but your child should keep a pair of tennis shoes or something similar for playtime. This will ensure their safety and ability to take part in camp activities. Camp Balance Payment Policy Payment is due 14 days prior to the week your child will be attending camp. If you have signed up for a week but your child will not be able to attend, please notify us as soon as possible. We typically have a waiting list of other children who would like to attend. If you do not cancel more than 14 days from the start of the week you are cancelling, you will be responsible for paying for the week of camp unless we are able to fill your child s spot. If you have paid in full, in order to receive a refund (minus the $25 deposit) you must cancel at least 14 days in advance. Payment can be made online, in person, or by mail. Parent Information Night Once registered, parents and campers are invited to attend Information Night. This will be held on Monday, June 4 from 6-7 pm in the Clubhouse Meeting and Events Center. This informal, floating event will allow you time to meet the camp staff and ask any questions you have.
