Frequently asked Questions for Parents

Safety– Please Read & Inform Us!
Field Trips– Campers are required to wear the
camp T-Shirt provided. Extra shirts may be purchased for $6.00 each. Trips are mostly schedule
for Tuesday and Thursdays.
Illness/Injury- Please do not put other campers
and staff at risk by sending your child to camp if
they are not feeling well. If your child becomes ill
or injured while at camp you will be notified immediately by the staff. If you are unavailable staff
will contact your alternative emergency contacts.
You will be expected to have your child picked-up
promptly.
Inclement Weather Policy
In the event of a heavy downpour or lightening before
camp opens we will ask for children to be dropped at the
Township Annex building at 440 Chestnut St. (West
Fairview). This will be communicated to parents via email
or the recreation department voice mail (732-0711 opt.
3). If the same inclement weather occurs after camp has
started we will move the kids to the Annex Building,
Township Building room 107 or an East Pennsboro Area
School District school (at their discretion). A message will
again be emailed to parents or parent may call the office.
Campers will not be moved after 3 pm.

Medication– We do not administer medication to
campers for any reason. If an accommodation
would need to be made it may be addressed with
the Recreation Director.
Discipline-It is important that the campers know
that rules must be followed to keep everyone safe.
Procedures for not obeying camp rules will result
in a ladder of discipline, according to the severity
of the behavior. If a camper receives three discipline reports at any time during the summer, they
will be expelled from camp.
Please review the camper rule
located with the Frequently
Asked Questions on the
township website under Recreation.
