IF PARENTS PERMIT THEIR CHILD TO WALK HOME ALONE FROM HIS OR HER BUS STOP, PRIOR PERMISSION IN WRITING MUST BE SENT INTO CAMP OFFICE

Bus parents are not a baby sitting service – they are there for emergencies (e.g.: telephone calls, bathroom stop). Please do not abuse this arrangement.

Missed days: Van families must notify the Camp office the day before or at the very latest by 7:30 AM if their children will not be coming to camp.

 

Campsite drop-off and Pick-Up: If you will be dropping your child off at camp in the morning, please bring him or her to the camp office to sign in. If you are picking your child up, you must also sign your child out. The camp office must be notified in advance if a camper must be picked up prior to the normal departure time. Parents who arrive at camp to pick up their child must report to the camp office, to sign their child out.

 

Special Transportation Requests: Camp is unable to transport children to destinations other then their own bus or van stop unless we have written notification in advance, and provided there is room on the appropriate vehicle. Parents must also call the Camp office that day for confirmation of plans. Due to space constraints, we cannot guarantee that space will be available.

 

 

In order to ensure the safety and enjoyment of your children on the bus ride to camp, we have instituted the following plan. Special counselors have been appointed to supervise and run activities to make the bus ride more enjoyable. A reward system has been set up and children who behave well will receive prizes. We will be using a four step system for those children who do not follow the rules:

 

* The first offense warrants a warning and a phone call to the parents.

 

* The second offense will result in suspension from the bus for 1 day.

 

* The third offense will result in suspension from the bus for 1 week.

 

* The fourth offense will result in suspension from the bus for the rest of the season.

 

The following is a list of rules that must be followed while riding on the bus:

 

1. No standing on the bus

2. No shouting on the bus

3. No fighting with other children

4. No throwing objects on the bus or out of the window

5. Always keep your hands and head inside the bus

6. No teasing other children

7. All garbage must be put into a garbage can.

 

Please communicate the above information to your children!
