Summer Camp 2018 Handbook

Program Activities

Motor Skills The overall large motor program includes oppor-tunities for all children to play, exercise, dance and do creative movement. We will provide op-portunities to enhance the development of large muscles. Our campers will learn team spirit, good sportsmanship and experience individual achievement. Activities will include recreational sports, new games, swimming, and exercise.

Social & Emotional Activities Understanding emotions and having freedom to express them helps develop the whole child. By teaching children to understand their emotions they will begin to accept them and to establish self-control. Our campers will understand that everyone will experience the same kind of emo-tions, and that having these feelings is a normal, natural experience.

Camp Overview

You are concerned about safety, learning, and your child having fun during the summer - and so are we! That’s why we put together our Summer Camp programs. YMCA Summer Day Camp is much more than mere “babysitting”. Pre-adolescent children need more. They need to be challenged and stimulated - having people around them who know how to listen, an adult with whom to identify. Their talents and skills create energy that develops great creativity!

Records/Confidentiality

All information contained in our records shall be considered privileged and confidential. Information within each child’s record will not be distributed or released to anyone not directly relating to imple-menting the program plan or without the written consent of the parent(s)/legal guardian. As a parent/legal guardian, you have access to your child’s records. Records will only be held for the cur-rent year of summer camp. New forms are required each year.

Our Staff YMCA Camp Counselors are certified in Basic

First Aid and CPR with the American Red Cross. A criminal background check is per-

formed and each Counselor is required a mini-mum of 40 hours of pre-camp training

through the Redwoods Insurance Group and on-site experience.

Abuse/Neglect

All YMCA personnel are required by National YMCA poli-cy to report any suspected case(s) of abuse/neglect to the proper authorities. If we feel it necessary, the par-ent(s)/legal guardian involved will be informed of the report. Furthermore all Cecil County Family YMCA Counselors are given thorough briefing/training in all Camp Protocol and Procedures. Each has been screened through State Police and FBI fingerprint data bases, and signed copies of YMCA/USA Child Abuse Pre-vention Code of Conduct forms are kept on site for each individual counselor.

Mission Statement: The Cecil County Family YMCA

Parent Involvement The YMCA believes strongly that parent involve-ment is a key ingredient in a quality child care program. We encourage you to visit our program whenever possible, and to discuss any ideas or concerns with the program staff - including situa-tions at home, scheduled events, or any other happenings. This will give you a chance to see how your child spends his/her time with the other children and our staff, and will assist us to meet the needs of you and your child(ren) in our pro-gram. In order to better understand each child, staff welcomes opportunities to talk with parents about their child(ren). It is critical that the com-munication channels between home and program stay open. Please check parent notice boards and program newsletters. Feel free to talk with the staff to share. happenings and anything that may affect your child(ren)’s behavior. Parents are en-couraged to support the staff in its efforts to enhance program development and extended fam-ily services through fund-raising efforts, social activities, field trips, center improvements, etc. If communication is frequent, together we can provide the most positive experience for your child(ren).



Drop Off/Pick Up Procedures Your child can be dropped off and/or picked up at the Camp Chesapeake Main Desk located just inside the side entrance of the YMCA at Elkton. Everyone dropping off/picking up any campers is reminded that all car ig-nitions must be turned off, and keys removed from the ignition. Always carry your identification inside of the building.

Late Pick Up Information Camp Closing Time is 6pm

All children must be picked up by closing time. Beginning at 6:01pm, A LATE FEE of $10.00 will be charged for the 1st 15 minutes and $10.00 for every 5 minutes thereafter, for all late pick-ups. Campers may not return to the program until late fees are paid to the Office Manager the following day. If late pick-ups con-tinue, service will be terminated. If a camper remains in our care after closing time (and we have not heard from a parent) staff is instructed to begin contact of persons named on emergency list.

Absences If your child is going to be out from

camp, we encourage you to notify the YMCA between 6:30 and 10 am on the day of the absence or prior. Please call

410-398-2333, ext. 26 or 27.

Sign In/Out Procedure ALL CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED into and from the YMCA by an adult when arriving for or leaving from CAMP CHESAPEAKE. Only those persons authorized IN WRITING, ON A YMCA AUTHORIZATION FORM AND PROVIDING PROPER I.D. may pick up a camper. Again, this procedure is in place for the protection of all our campers, and cannot be compromised. Staff will question those who are unfamiliar and check for authorization. Anyone without proper authorization will be STOPPED from taking any camper. When the camper(s) arrives at CAMP CHESAPEAKE he/she MUST be signed in with a camp staff member. At the end of the day, you must enter the building and sign your camper(s) out with a camp staff member. The staff uses this information to determine which campers are on-site at any given time. We cannot be responsible for campers who have not been signed in or out. While this may at times seem like an inconvenience, this procedure helps insure the safety and well-being of all our campers and cannot be compromised. It is the policy of the Cecil County Family YMCA to reserve the right to refuse to release children under our care to anyone smelling of alcohol or suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. If this occurs, alternate transportation will have to be arranged. Failure to respect this policy or refusal to cooperate will result in notification of the appropriate authorities. NOTE: Staff personnel are not permitted to provide individual transportation to pick up or take any campers home.

Drive Through Drop Off The drive through drop off is designed to ease up camp traffic in the parking lot and make drop off quicker for parents. The drive through drop will be located at the entrance of the pavilion driveway. Camp Counselors will be there to greet you. Parents are re-quired to sign their child(ren) in on the sign in form. The children will then enter through the back entrance into the building.

Please note, this is for drop off only.

Lunch/Snack: Every camper is expected to bring a bag lunch and beverage on a daily basis. Campers must pack an extra snack for the afternoon. We would like you to be aware of the following safeguards in packing your child’s lunch every day:

Mayonnaise does not keep well; however, ketchup and mustard are fine sandwich spreads.

Tuna and Chicken salad sandwiches spoil quickly.

Cheese or jelly sandwiches are preferable to meat sandwiches as they will keep longer.

While it is not necessary, freezing your child’s lunch will extend its freshness.

Back Packs:

Campers are asked to bring a back pack with them every day. This will serve as a carry-all for the entire week. These bags will contain personal belongings of the camper. It is in their back pack that campers should store their lunch,

swim suits, towel, and change of clothing . Please clean them out daily.

Please label all belongings!

THE Y’S CAUSE : At the Cecil County Family YMCA, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, the Y works side by side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income or

background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.



Field Trips Campers will participate in one field trip per week. Campers are expected to behave accordingly. Additional information about the week’s destination will be provided prior to the day of the trip. Parents are welcome to attend but will be responsible for their own transportation and any additional fees. Campers will participate in one field trip per week.

Proper Camp Attire Please dress children in play clothes. Children must wear sneakers and

socks everyday! Please do not have children wear Crocs, sandals or flip flops. Children will be children, so expect for camper’s clothes and shoes to get dirty. We will be outside as much as possible - so dress for the weather. Suggested dress for hot sunny days are shorts and a t-shirt. Suggested dress for cold rainy days should include a sweat-

shirt, or jacket, and a raincoat. Remember, any camper who is not well enough to go outside should not be in camp that day. (Please put

name labels on everything!!!). The YMCA understands the latest “fashion” fads that children are

wearing. While not wishing to throttle this form of expression, please be aware that campers will be permitted to participate in daily activi-

ties only if their attire complies with the following guidelines: All pants and shorts will be worn around the waist (not down around the middle of the camper’s bottom). All sneakers will be laced up and tied securely. Girls should avoid wearing low cut tank tops and short shorts. No undergarments should be showing. Everyone will wear a

shirt at all times (except when swimming). Two piece swim suits are prohibited.

Bringing Articles To The Program

Toys, games, and books are not to be brought into the program unless they are to be donated. If these items are brought, the staff will not be responsible the loss or damage of these belongings. Campers will not be permitted to play with any personal items that are not the property of the program.

Sun Block Our camp will be outside most of the day, so parents should teach their chil-dren about the use and application of sun screen/block. Children prone to sunburn should also wear head covering everyday.

Behavior Management/Discipline Policy

Conduct Policies:

It is our intent each child enjoys the activities planned by under-standing that he/she is responsible for his/her actions. With prior knowledge of our basic guidelines of safety and good conduct, each child is made aware of how to exercise self-discipline, that we are here to help, and to know that we want all of our campers to be as successful as each one of them can be. As in any group dynamic, the inappropriate behavior of a few can spoil a positive experience for an entire group. Therefore, the following conduct policies will be thor-oughly explained and equally applied to each camper, and will be used as the key determinant deciding their eligibility to continue as a participant in the YMCA Camp Programs.

When any camper’s behavior consistently becomes a problem, we utilize the following procedures in an attempt to help rectify the situation:

1 = Verbal Warning

2 = Immediate “Time Out” of Activity

3 = Sent to Camp Office The Assistant Camp Director or Camp Director will discuss the camper’s behavior with the child and offer possible solutions.

4 = Written Warning Written warning is issued to the camper.

5 = Parental Conference The Camp Director will discuss the camper’s behavior with the par-ent and the child, and offer possible solutions.

6 = Suspension The camper is suspended from camp for a prescribed period of time (length of suspension is based on individual circumstances on each separate case)

7 = Termination Termination decisions are at the direct discretion of the Camp Di-rector. Decisions concerning termination are final, and no refunds can be given for sessions affected by termination. If more than one disciplinary procedure is needed for any individual camper on any particular camp day (or days) it may be cause for Immediate suspension/termination.

Please Note: There will be no credit of refunds for days lost due to sus-pension or termination.

Basic Guidelines

Campers must stay with their assigned group at all times. (At no time should any camper be unattend-ed).

Campers will refrain from using any inappropriate language, shall not be re-peatedly rude or discour-teous to peers and/or staff.

Campers will respect their property, as well as the property of other campers and property of the YMCA.

Destruction and/or defac-ing of the facility - as well as the theft of anything will not be tolerated. Par-ents are responsible for any and all damages caused by their children (that is not normal wear and tear of the item).

Engaging in any type of fighting will not be per-mitted. Fighting of any kind will result in auto-matic suspension from camp.

Campers are expected to listen, respect, and follow all directions given them by counselors and/or camp staff.

It is unfortunate when a child becomes ill or has an unforeseen absence, but we are unable to give “credit” in these instances. If we are notified by the Thursday preceding your child’s upcoming week of camp that he/she will be absent the full week (Monday through Friday), the payment for that week will be credited. (In order to receive this credit due to absence a camper must be absent the full week - Monday -Friday only!) Please notify us when your child is out sick, especially in the case of com-municable disease (which must also be reported to the county health department). Please remember, a sick camper should be kept at home, for their sake as well as for the sake of all our other campers.

If a camper becomes ill during the day, their parents will be contacted and asked to make arrangements to pick up that camper. In case of emergency, we will notify the parent(s) or other person(s) specified on the enrollment/emergency forms.

Medication: Any medication that needs to be dispensed during the program time should be given to the Camp Director, Assistant Director, or Senior Staff with an ac-companying note signed by a parent.

Medication must be in its original package/prescription container with the child’s name, type of medication, date, and instructions for administration. Please provide a note that states if the child is well enough to participate in the program while on the medication.

A Medication Authorization form can be obtained from the Camp Director, and must be filled out, signed and dated by the parent before administering medica-tion.

Peanut Allergy Procedure/Protocol The YMCA Preschool will accommodate children based on the severity of an allergy with the following protocol: Those with an extreme allergy to peanuts will be isolated to a peanut free environment. Those children with only a slight allergy will eat at a peanut free table. All tables are cleaned and disinfected after every serving. Due to allergy and other concerns, we will accept only store bought baked goods with ingredient labels included.

REGISTRATION FORM, AUTHORIZED CAMPER RELEASE, PARENTAL CONSENT, BEHAVIORAL AGREEMENT and SIGNATURE MUST ALSO BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED UPON REGISTRATION.

PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS ONLY: Per State Regulations we are required to get the month and year of your child’s last tetanus shot at registration. There are no exceptions.

Injuries If a child is injured during the daily activities and if it’s a minor injury, the camp staff will administer first aid. If the injury requires outside medical attention, the child will be taken to the Emergency Room at Union Hospital by ambulance and accompanied by the Camp Director, Program Director, or senior YMCA staff. The parent(s) will be notified and should meet the child at the Emergency Room. An incident report will be filled out on all injuries, whether minor or major. Special Note: It is required that we have on file a telephone number where parents can be reached during the day, an emergency number, and an alternate adult who can be reached if parent is not available.
