​

Clothing:

  • Proper clothing is the key!  Campers want to be comfortable and unrestricted. Each camper must wear shorts/pants, t-shirts, and sneakers. You may want to pack a change of clothes in case of weather changes or a sweatshirt on those unseasonably cool days. 

  • Campers will be barefoot while training indoors on the mats. If your child currently trains in martial arts, uniforms, belts, and equipment are encouraged for the morning advancement seminars. 

  • On hot days a sprinkler will be provided for the campers to cool down, so don’t forget a bathing suit, towel, & sunscreen!

  • Every camper can keep their belongings in a locker during the day.  Please take all your belongings with you each evening as the lockers are needed for evening classes. Name labels on extra clothing, lunch pails, toys, etc. are often helpful in case your child misplaces their items or leaves them behind.

Sign In/Sign Out:

  • Children must be escorted into the school and signed in each day.  They may not be dropped off without being signed in.  If a child needs to be picked by someone other than the name listed on the registration form, it must be pre-arranged with the camp operator.  Also, if the child needs to be released before the end of camp this must also be pre-arranged.

  • Please have your child arrive  camp by 9:00am.  We will have an opening meeting and camper creed that will begin at 9:00 am.  We feel this is an important part of the summer camp experience and would like all children to participate.to

  • Please leave a phone number where you can be reached and a backup number in case you are not available.

Release Form/Medication/Illnesses:

  • All children registering for camp must have a medical release form on file with us.

  • Please do not bring your child to camp if they are ill or running a fever.  If your child becomes ill during the day, you will be called to pick them up as soon as possible.

  • Bring any needed medicines in the original prescription bottle labeled with your camper’s name, the name of the medicine, and when it is to be given.  All medicines will be locked in the camp director’s office. The camp medical director must administer all medication unless medically specified (i.e. Inhalers).

  • If your child has any medical restrictions (i.e. physical, allergies, special medical requirements) or is unable to participate in any activity (i.e. water games), please notify our staff.  If it is medically related, our staff will inform the medical director.

Lunches/Snacks/Drinks

  • There will be snacks, treats, and drinks available to purchase from our store during break times throughout the day.  Have your camper bring a few dollars to purchase these items. If your camper has food restrictions, please let the staff know ahead of time. 

  • Ice water, lemonade and/or Gatorade will be provided every day for all campers.

  • Campers that will bring lunch may use our cooler until lunch to ensure food safety.

  • For those campers who purchased our lunch plan, we will provide a well-balanced meal.
