Parent Meeting (Save the Date) 7/11/1007 Apr
Our 2010 Summer Camp Parent Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, July 11th, at Chase Oaks Church in the Legacy Room from 3PM to 4PM. The information we will cover at the meeting will be much the same as what is listed below from last year’s meeting. This is a wonderful time for parents to meet their camper’s counselors and camp directors, medics & nurses, as all will be in attendance. If you have any outstanding camp tuition balances, those monies will be due at that time.
Here is the information we will go over at the 2010 parent meeting in PDF, Please read over the information and get back to us if you have any questions.
CHECK IN MAP
One of the documents is a rough map of Chase Oaks and a description of where you will drop off luggage, medications and camper check-in on the morning of check in.
CAMP LETTER WRITING
The Camp Letter Writing 101 sheet has the address of each camp so you can write letters. We also ask that you write a letter ahead of time and drop it off with your child’s Counselor the day of check in so they will have a letter that next day.
YOUR CAMPER’S MEDICATIONS
Medications need to be in a ziplock bag in their prescription bottles with the campers name and grade. We will provide all over the counter medications that we had listed on the medication form. All medications, even vitamins need to be checked into the Medic or camp Nurse. The only exception is an inhaler for asthma and then the Medic or Nurse still need to know that the camper has it with them.
CAMP FACILITY RELEASE FORMS
Each rental facility location where we hold camp has their own release forms they need completed. Please print your camper’s respective forms, complete and turn in.
PACKING FOR CAMP
We also suggest that you pack your campers outfits (shirt, shorts, underwear, socks) in a large ziplock bag, one for each day, to make dressing easy for your camper. This is especially good for the younger campers.
Please DON’T FORGET TO LABEL EVERYTHING!! Even toothbrushes, hair brushes, towels, sunscreen, cameras, towels, shoes, underwear, shirts, shorts….are you getting the idea. You would be surprised at how kids do not recognize the towel they brought from home or their socks!
GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR CAMPER’S COUNSELORS
Please pray for your child’s counselors while they are away at camp. We’ve also attached a form that gives a few ideas for how you can thank your counselors when they return. This is an all volunteer counselor staff that we want to shower with praise!
OTHER COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you are the parent of a first time camper, we know that your head may be swimming with numerous questions! We want to help answer your questions and concerns to the best of our ability. For starters, here is a listing of Commonly Asked Questions.
We look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks with your camper(s). You will be getting a call from your child’s counselor before camp and they will be happy to answer any questions you have, but feel free to email with any questions as well.
