Please ensure camper privacy by keeping any camper information hidden and out of site. With the exception of sign in sheets, any PIR’s and camper information should be in your program record notebook.
Explanation
One of the biggest complaints we get from parents is that no one greeted them at the door. One person should be assigned to the welcome table during sign-in. Please ensure that a staff greets each person in a positive way at the beginning and end of the day.
Campers in drop in programs such as Junior Jam and campers arriving by bus from summer school do not need a parent to sign them in. Campers who arrive from summer school do need a parent or authorized individual to sign them out of camp.
Volunteers and Student Assistants do not count towards your ratio. In this scenario to stay within the approved ratio the Director and Assistant Director must stay with the champers and the student aid should leave the room to set up the next activity.
Staff are required to bring their lunch to camp and sit with the campers during lunch to encourage interaction among peers.
Everyone must wash their hands with soap and water, hand sanitizer or wipes may be used only if clean running water is not available. Staff should pay attention to children and have them re-wash their hands if they put their fingers in their mouths or touch unclean surfaces.
Pot lucks are permitted within camps for participants and their families if desired. A sign must be visible stating “these items may have been prepared in a kitchen that is not subject to Health Department Regulation.”
Cookouts may be done without a certified food manager by limiting the food to precooked hot dogs, beans, vegetables and prepackaged snacks, drinks and deserts. Cookouts that will include raw meats must be done under the supervision of a certified food manager.
