Wacky Water Fun

No need to worry about the summer heat. This week campers will be having a blast with water. From water balloon tosses to the giant summer camp slip and slide.          

Here are some to dos before your child’s 1st day of camp:

Forms that need to be filled out before the first day of camp.  Forms can be emailed to GeannaH@rrpark.org or turned in at the park’s main office in person.

*Plan to spend a few extra minutes during drop off on the first day of camp to fill out any paperwork not turned in prior to the start of camp.

• If your child has any special needs, allergies, and/or medical conditions, you can email me or talk with your child’s leaders at drop off.

*Form only need to be filled out once for the summer

Check-in for all camp seeker groups will be at the Basketball court from 7:30-9:00 AM.

Items your child should bring to camp with them:

• Camp Seeker will provide both morning and afternoon snacks for all campers.
• When checking out your child, leaders will be asking to see an ID and making sure the ID matches a name on your child’s approved pick up list.
• Swimming
  • Camp Seeker will be swimming in the inside pool at the park. We will have life jackets available for kids that are still learning how to swim. We will also have leaders swimming in the pool with the kids as well as on the deck of the pool to help the campers.

  • Pokémon cards
  • Stuffed animals

Paperwork

If you haven’t already, please be sure to fill out a Permission Slip, Youth Behavior Management Agreement, and the Medical Authorization for Non-Prescribed Medicine, attached in this email.

Once you have filled out these forms, you do not need to fill them out again this summer. If your child has attended in previous years, they do need to fill out an updated form.

When you pick up your child, please be sure to bring your ID so we can ensure your child’s safety. We cannot release your child until we have verified your ID against the permission slip for your child. If you would like to allow your child to check themselves out to walk or bike home, please be sure to check the top box, "My child may walk or bike home" on their Permission Slip.
