p.m.

Extended care is an additional fee for Aviary camp programs.

Camper Readiness How do you determine if a child is eligible for a camp?

Campers must be at least 5 years old by the first day of the session for which they are enrolled, potty trained, and be in the grade range specified for the camp in which they are registering. Our Aviary location offers camps for kindergarten through 8th grade. Our Aviary location does not offer camps for preschool, transitional kindergarten, or high school grades. We do not make exceptions.

SRSRC requires a copy of the camper’s birth certificate to be uploaded into the family’s CampBrain account for all campers entering kindergarten to verify age eligibility for camps.

Many of our camps have age or grade requirements determined by our vendors. This may be due to equipment used or other variables. For specific questions about age requirements of camps, please contact the camp directors.

Is my child ready for summer camps?

Summer camps are a wonderful experience that enrich the lives of youth. It is important that the camper is ready for the experience to make their time at camp successful and

31 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 enjoyable. Things to think about when determining if your child is ready for the camp environment includes, but is not limited to, the following: Does your child put his or her own clothes on without assistance?

Does your child listen to instructions?

Does your child ask an adult for help when needed?

Does your child perform all toileting independently?

Does your child feel comfortable in loud and busy environments?

Does your child cooperate with his or her playmates?

Does your child respond reasonably well to changes?

Does your child enjoy making friends?

These questions should be asked by the parents in order to assist with determining readiness. If the answers are primarily “no,” then it might not be the right time for your child to get the most out of a camp experience. That’s okay! Each child is different and camps may not be the right fit for every child or at every stage of life. Campers may feel more comfortable being able to ask an adult for help, when he or she can adapt to changes, and when he or she is able to follow instructions. This is important in setting up campers for success.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

If the answers are “yes,” the camper may be better prepared for a happy, enjoyable experience in the camp environment, and get more out of what the camp day has to offer.

Pool time is more fun when the camper can change independently and go straight to the activity, free choice activities are better with cooperation skills and being able to handle a loud environment, and the group setting can be more enjoyable when a child likes making new friends.

My child has special needs. Will this camp be a good fit?

Our camp activities may be physically and/or emotionally demanding at times, such as games involving a lot of movement, directions needing a lot of attention, and social interactions with many other individuals. Our goal is for campers to have a fulfilling experience.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s readiness for camp or camp fit, feel free to contact a Camp Director to have your questions answered. We would love to speak with you ahead of time to help you evaluate whether our camp environment is right for your camper.

What types of fees are there for registration?

Each camp has a registration fee. Fees will vary depending on membership status (member or non-member) and whether extended care is selected. Other miscellaneous fees include optional meal deal card, optional goodies card, etc.

Does SRSRC offer financial assistance?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer financial assistance.

★ ★ ★ ★

33 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 refund/cancellation policy as outlined above.

What is the SRSRC camp transfer policy?

Campers will not be able to transfer camps unless requested, authorized and approved by 12:00noon the Thursday prior to the beginning of the camp session.

Once the camp session starts, campers will ONLY be transferred into The Daily Camps for whatever reason necessary, unless prior approval by a camp director has been granted. All transfers for week long camps will be assessed a $25.00 transfer fee. The Daily Camps will be assessed a $10.00 transfer fee per day.

Why can’t I see the camp I want for my child when I try to register?

You will not be able to see camps during the registration process when your child does not meet the registration requirements, such as grade level, or when the camp and its waiting list are full.

Can I ask to see who is registered for certain camps?

We are unable to tell you which campers are registered for specific camps. Part of the camp experience includes making new camp friends and connections.

Can my camper and his/her friend be in the same group during the day?

Each individual camp usually stays together in a large group during a majority of the day;

however, some camps do divide into groups for activities or field trips. We may group campers based on age and/or ability, in which case we may not always be able to keep friends in the same group. We try to keep friends together, but we also encourage campers to make additional new friends.

What if the camp I want for my child is already full? Is there a waiting list? Can you open more spots?

Our online registration is open to all and you may add your camper to the online waiting list. Camps that are full and offering a waiting list will show up when you log in to the CampBrain registration system. Please continue to check back frequently by logging into the registration system to see if a spot has opened up for your camper. We will do our best to notify parents from the waiting list when a spot becomes available. For many camps we are unable to open more spots due to capacity restraints such as transportation and vendor requirements.

I only need to send my camper a few days per week. Will you prorate?

We believe that a majority of our camps require a full week’s participation in order to be the most valuable experience. We also pay our vendors and staff by the week, and need accurate total numbers of participants prior to

34 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 the start of camp. For these reasons, we do not prorate camps. If partial weeks are needed, the best option is The Daily Camps at the Aviary Summer Camp program.

Drop Off, Pick Up, & Transportation Where do I drop off and pick up my camper?

If you drop off your camper during A.M. Extended Care between the hours of 6:30 – 8:30 a.m., you should bring your child to the indoor lounge / TV room. If you have not purchased extended care, your camper can be signed in starting at 8:30a.m.

If you drop off your camper between 8:30 – 8:55 a.m., you may use our Drop-Off Zone located at the east end of our parking lot, or you may walk your camper to the correct sign-in station located on our basketball court.

Please be aware that some off-site camps may leave prior to 9:00 a.m. and for these camps utilizing the Drop-Off Zone is not recommended.

Pick up is 3:30 – 4:00 p.m., and your camper will be located on the basketball court.

If you have purchased extended care, you may

pick up your camper between 4:00 – 6:30 p.m. from P.M. Extended Care. At this time, your child will either be on the basketball court, playground, patio, or in the indoor lounge / TV room.

Do I need to bring my ID to pick up my camper?

Yes. Camp staff reserve the right to request identification from any parent/guardian or other individual picking up a camper. This is for safety purposes.

Who is authorized to pick up my camper?

Primary adults listed on the registration account and those listed on the camper’s health history form may pick up the camper.

Camp staff reserve the right to request the individual picking up to present a picture I.D. If someone not listed on the Camper Health History Form will be picking up for the day, you may make note of the name of the individual picking up on the sign-in and out sheet with your child’s camp counselor.

Individuals picking up your camper must be at least 18 years of age.

What if I need to add or delete someone from my authorized pick-up list?

35 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 updating the necessary information, please contact the Front Desk for assistance at 858-271-6222.

Who provides transportation?

For our larger off-site camps, transportation will be provided by a professional bus company, Grand Pacific Charter.

In addition, for smaller camps SRSRC vans will be used to allow for the safest means of transportation. Our drivers are required to have a valid driver’s license and be insured, maintain a good driving record, and hold current certification in first aid and CPR.

Do you provide transportation between camp and home?

No, we do not pick up campers from home or drop off campers to their home.

What are the safety procedures and camp rules during transportation?

When using transportation by bus or van for an SRSRC camp, we follow strict procedures recommended by ACA. These procedures include items such as having a camp counselor be the first person off of the bus before campers are allowed outside of the bus.

Campers on the bus will always be supervised by camp staff. We always carry SRSRC communication devices (such as SRSRC cellular phones and/or walkie talkies), first aid supplies, camp roster, as well as copies of camper health history forms in order to ensure a safe trip. SRSRC does not use private vehicles for transportation.

This may not be feasible depending on the off-site location. If it is not feasible for the camper to meet the camp group at the off-site location, the camper will stay on-site. At Aviary, campers will be placed in The Daily Camps.

SRSRC Camps will not send a vehicle back to pick up late campers or deliver a child to the

What if I am going to be late picking up my camper?

Camp Hours are 8:30am-4:00pm. It is suggested that you contact the Front Desk at 271-6222 and notify staff that you will be late to pick up. You may choose to add extended care for the week either over the phone or online for week long camps. You may add extended care for the day for The Daily Camps and Mini Camps only. Extended care must be added before 4:00p.m. to avoid a late fee.

If your camper is not registered for extended care the following policy applies. First time offense for a late camper pick-up past 4:15pm is a flat fee of $12 (this includes The Daily Camps and Mini Camp). For any following

offense (2nd time or more) you will be charged the cost of weekly extended care. The cost will be $35 per week for members, $45 per week for non-members, and $12 per day for The Daily Camps and Mini Camp.

If you are late past the end of camp extended care, which ends at 6:30pm, you will be charged $1.00 per minute for every minute past 6:30pm per child. If the child is not picked up by 6:30p.m., we refer to his/her emergency information and begin calling numbers listed. If by 7:30p.m., we have not heard from a parent or emergency contact, we have no other alternative and are obligated to turn the child over to Child Protective Services.

What if I need to drop off my camper late or pick up my camper early?

Please communicate the details with your child’s camp counselors for the week for drop-off and pick-up. Make arrangements at least 1 day in advance. It is extremely important that campers arrive at camp no later than 8:45 a.m. every day, unless otherwise specified.

If a child is dropped off for a day camp program after the bus/van has departed, the parent is responsible for: transporting the child to the camp location, delivering the child to

38 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 the camp counselor, and reporting that the child is late and is joining the camp. This may not be feasible depending on the off-site location and must be approved by the Camp Director. SRSRC will not send a vehicle back to pick up late campers or deliver a child to the program. There will also be no credits or refunds if a camper is dropped off late, misses the off-site trip, or is picked up early.

Please contact the counselor or the camp director prior to needing an early pick-up. If you must pick up your child due to an emergency, please contact the front office, who can relay your message to the camp director or lead staff.

What if I need before and/or after care for my camper?

Aviary Summer Camps Before care is offered from 6:30 – 8:30 a.m. and after care is offered until 6:30 p.m. for an additional fee, which can be paid at the time of registration. This can be added on after the original sign up by contacting the front desk or added online.

Am I required to sign my camper in and out daily?

SRSRC requires that all children are to be properly signed in and out by an adult age 18 or older, so that children can be properly

assigned to SRSRC staff in the morning and properly signed out to the adult after camp.

Unfortunately, siblings and others under the age of 18 may not sign out a camper.

Preparing for Camp How can I get a camp daily schedule?

The camp daily schedules are posted on the

39 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 camp portion of our website at www.SRSRC.com. Camp daily schedules can be obtained at the front office.

Campers are required to wear closed-toe shoes, such as tennis shoes. Campers may bring sandals to wear at the pool or beach, but must wear closed-toe shoes during all other camp activities. Skirts and dresses should not be worn to camp. We will be engaging in activities that require running and some activities that may get messy, so we suggest that campers wear clothing appropriate for their camp activities.

If a camper is participating in an off-site camp, the camper must wear an SRSRC camp T-shirt. On-site campers are also encouraged to wear their SRSRC camp T-shirt. If an off-site camper does not have a camp T-shirt, they will be given one for a fee of $5.00 to be charged to your CampBrain account and the parent picking up child will receive a no T-Shirt form.

Please send food with your camper that is non-perishable and does not require heating, as we cannot accommodate with refrigeration and heating. Campers should bring a snack daily, as many camps take a snack break in the morning. Campers should also bring water to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Campers should bring a swimsuit and towel since swimming is offered daily. Sunscreen will be provided for campers; however, they can

Certain items, if brought to camp, may result in immediate removal from the camp, such as weapons, alcohol, and drugs.

If cell phones are brought to camp, they must be kept in the child’s backpack with the exception of Teen Camps during approved electronics time. SRSRC is not responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of cell phones and electronics, nor the content accessed on these devices.

Camp Food & Snacks Should I pack water and a snack for my child?

There will be a snack break in the morning during camp for most camps. Snack at this time is not provided by SRSRC. Though we provide snack time and water breaks, it is ultimately the parent’s responsibility to send enough fluids with the child for the day. Only extended care campers will receive a camp provided afternoon snack.

If your camper is on-site then he/she may buy lunch at our snack shack. If the camper is off-site he/she must pack a lunch. On Fridays, a lunch is provided, which may include pizza, a drink, chips or other items.

Campers should always pack a snack and a drink in addition to their lunch. Vending machines are not allowed to be used during camp hours and campers may not make purchases from the front office during camp hours.

Snack shack is open Monday through Thursday from 11:00am-2:00pm. Goodies

41 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 Cards can be purchased for $10 and Meal Deal Cards can be purchased for $28. These can be purchased at the time of online registration, purchased online up until the Friday prior to the start of the camp session, or at the front office.

We do not provide a snack for campers during the general camp day. Campers are encouraged to bring a morning snack from home daily. Campers in afternoon Extended Care will receive a camp provided snack between 4:30pm and 4:45pm.

What if my camper loses something at camp?

If a camper loses an item on-site, there are lost and found bins. If an item was left at the pool, please ask the lifeguard on duty if it may have been brought into the lifeguard office for safe keeping. There are also bins that are used daily at the camp stations that serve as individual camp lost and found bins after camp hours. Items will be emptied out of the camp bins at the end of each session/week.

Labeling items, keeping items together in a backpack, and not bringing expensive items are a good way to help prevent loss. SRSRC is not responsible for items that are lost, broken, or stolen.

What camps have additional waivers? How do I get them?

Some camps require additional waivers to be completed for the vendors that we utilize.

Under the camp descriptions, it will be noted if a waiver is required. These waivers will also be available at the front desk before the camp session begins. Waivers will also be available Monday morning of the session by Front Desk, Drop-Off Zone, morning Extended Care Staff, and Counselors.

What do I do with completed waivers?

Please upload the completed waiver to the appropriate camper paperwork spot in your CampBrain account. This is the preferred

42 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 method of waiver submission. This ensures that we have the waivers prior to your camper’s arrival to camp.

Additionally, waivers can be turned in to the camp counselors during morning sign-in or e-mailed to waivers@srsrc.com. Campers must have the waiver completely filled out by a parent in order to participate. There cannot be any exceptions made.

Camper Supervision Who is watching my camper?

The majority of our camp staff is comprised of college students and adults within the child care career setting. Some members of our staff may be credentialed teachers, some are in college majoring in elementary education, some are already working at schools in local school districts, and some work with our youth programs year round.

Of our staff, at least 80% are 18 years of age or older. All counselors are trained in CPR and first aid. Some may have lifeguarding certification or other relevant special certifications. Our staff is trained to use the “rule of three,” to avoid situations in which they may be one on one with a camper. All of our staff is devoted to working with and providing

care for the children in our camps.

What training does the camp staff receive?

All new camp staff members are required to attend the equivalent of four to five days of training prior to working in the camp program.

Many of our camp staff have been campers at SRSRC when they were younger, some have had multiple summers of experience with us, and some are year round employees of SRSRC in the Youth Programs

Department. Leadership staff also attend training sessions prior to the start of camp.

During the training sessions, camp counselors learn the policies, the procedures, leadership skills, how to properly perform head counts, how to sign campers in and out, and their responsibilities. Training sessions also focus on developing and improving interaction skills with children and how to respond to disruptive behavior in a positive way.

Can staff baby-sit?

Our camp counselors work well with children, and it is our policy that staff members can only babysit for those who are in our SRSRC camp program if it is something set up on their own, and any babysitting done by staff is not affiliating with our camp program or any SRSRC program.

Can camp staff accept presents?

Our staff members are very dedicated and work hard; however, it is our policy that camp staff cannot accept gratuities. If instead you wish to offer feedback on a staff member’s job well done please contact the Camp Director.

Camper Behavior

How many staff will be watching my child?

We implement the following ratios, which are recommended by the American Camp Association. However, there are some times where there may be exceptions to the ratios depending on the camp environment, especially with camps that offer enrollment for multiple age groups.

What are the camp rules?

1. Be Respectful & Honest. Example: Respect others, respect equipment, be honest and tell the truth.

2. Be Responsible. Example: Make good decisions, use equipment the correct way.

3. Keep your body, objects & unkind

words to yourself. Example: Keep your hands and feet to yourself and only say positive words.

4. Stay with your Group. Example: Always ask a counselor when you need to use the restroom or get a drink of water.

Never leave your group or buddy.

5. Listen and Follow Directions. Example: Listen when counselors and others are speaking, ask questions if you don’t know and follow directions the FIRST time asked.

6. Have FUN!!

What happens if my camper has a discipline problem at camp?

Our camp staff is trained to deal with discipline issues in a respectful and positive manner in order to resolve the misbehavior. It is not unusual for a camper to test their limits and our staff is trained to handle these situations.

Our staff speaks with the camper, allows the camper to share his/her view of the issue and any relevant information, allows the camper to take time out to think about their actions and how it affects the camp experience, and then let the child return to the activity.

If misbehavior is recurrent or the misbehavior is more severe or disruptive, the child may

44 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 either be asked to sit out during an activity or the parent may be called to pick up the child.

Some acts may result in immediate suspension or expulsion of the child from the camp program including but not limited to: fighting, intentionally harming others, theft, and possession of weapons or drugs.

Our policies do not grant refunds or credits for missed days of the camp program due to a behavior issue.

The following steps are generally used for our discipline plan: 1. The camper is given a verbal warning, which may or may not involve a timeout depending on severity.

2. The camper is given a written behavior report, which one copy is given to the parent and another copy is given to the camp director. With a behavior report, the camper will sit out during part of an activity and reflect upon their actions with the guidance of a staff member.

3. If the camper receives three behavior reports, suspension or expulsion from the camp program may result depending on the severity. We do our best to work with the camper to help resolve the issue before implementing a suspension or expulsion.

What happens if my camper’s behavior causes his/her removal from camp?

Our goal is for campers to have a successful and fulfilling time at camp. We wish the best experience for each child, which means taking into account how disruptive behavior may impact others’ experience at camp. If our camp is not a fit at this time, and the camper must be removed from camp, the camper’s parent will be notified to pick up the camper whether on-site or off-site on a field trip.

Campers who are removed from the camp program may enroll in camps again one year from the removal date pending a successful meeting with and approval by the camp director. The one year period gives the camper the opportunity to grow and develop their skills prior to enrolling in any SRSRC affiliated youth program.

Camper Health & Safety What if my camper needs to take medication during the camp day?

The Camp Director, a Coordinator, a lead counselor, or staff member with Camp Director authorization, will administer your child's medication as directed. In order to administer the medication, we must have the following:

4.

45 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 The camper's medication needs to be brought to camp and given to the Camp Director or a Coordinator in a paper bag in its original container.

Please label the bag with the camper's name, and camp. Please do not pack the medication in the child's backpack or in the child's lunch.

The medication must be prescribed by a doctor and in its original prescription bottle with your child's name printed on the label. Include written instructions from a physician as per quantity, time to administer, any other directions, and written clearance giving SRSRC permission to administer the medication. Please specify if refrigeration is necessary.

A completed medication release form must be completed every session or for the summer for campers who register for multiple sessions. This medication release form must be on file with the Camp Director before medication can be administered to your child. This form is available from the Camp Director or a Coordinator, as well as online in your CampBrain account.

No over the counter medication will be administered unless approved on the Health History form or with parent's written consent.

5. Please pick up your child’s medication after the last session for which your camper is enrolled. If it is not picked up in a timely manner, SRSRC may dispose of the medication.

What if my camper needs special accommodations?

If your camper requires special accommodations, such as special medical needs, please contact the Camp Director prior to registering for camps to discuss if we are able to provide suitable accommodations for a successful camp experience. Our goal is for our campers to be successful and feel included at camp, however, we must also work within the limitations of our training and resources.

What if my camper is ill or injured while at camp?

If your child becomes ill during camp, we will contact the parent to pick the child up. If the legal guardian cannot be contacted, SRSRC staff will begin contacting the emergency contacts listed on your child's medical form.

Camp is not designed to handle ill children, so it is the parent's responsibility to pick his/her child up in a timely manner. Children who are showing signs or experiencing symptoms of illness should not attend camp. Not feeling

46 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 well may prevent a child from fully participating in, and enjoying, the camp experience. Sick campers also risk the health of other campers who wish to enjoy their own camp experience.

If your child becomes injured while at camp, SRSRC staff will take whatever steps necessary to obtain medical care for your child. For a minor injury an accident report will be filled out. For an injury that is believed to be beyond our scope, emergency personnel will be called or your child may be transported to the hospital in an SRSRC vehicle. Any expenses for routine or emergency medical care are the responsibility of the parent.

What is your lice policy?

We have a nit-free policy. If a child is found to have lice or nits, the parent will be called to pick the child up. Children will be able to return to the program once they are nit-free as seen by a lead staff member.

Will sunscreen be applied to my camper throughout the day?

Sunscreen application times are in the morning, during snack time, during lunchtime, and in the afternoon. Sunscreen is also applied before any water activities, such as swimming.

If you do not want sunscreen applied to your camper, or would like a specific type of

sunscreen applied, please have a note sent to the camper's camp counselor for the session and provide them with the specific sunscreen.

At SRSRC, although we provide sunscreen to each camper, our camp counselors do not physically apply sunscreen to the campers, unless you fill out a Sunscreen Waiver or give authorization during the registration process online. These waivers will be available with your child’s camp counselor and online in the forms section of your CampBrain account.

Counselors will then do their best to assist your camper when applying sunscreen.

What is the camp's bathroom procedure?

On-site campers utilize the buddy system.

Off-site campers are taken in groups with counselor supervision to a restroom that has been designated as being cleared for safety.

No camper is to go to the restroom without a buddy or without a group.

What if I need to speak with my camper while he/she is at camp?

Some situations may arise in which it is necessary to get a hold of your child during camp. Please call the front desk staff, and leave a message with them. They will do their best to relay the message to the appropriate camp counselors and notify your child.

47 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020

How do I communicate with the SRSRC staff?

Communication between parents and the camp staff can either be informal or formal.

We value communication with parents as it gives staff valuable insight. Vital information to relay to camp staff may include changes in the family, including: moving, hospitalization of a family member or friend, altercations in the parents' relationship, etc.

Such factors may influence a camper's behavior and relationship with peers, so this information is beneficial to staff in order to best provide for the child's needs. All such information will be treated with the utmost confidence. Communication can occur through camp counselors, the camp director, or the coordinators. Information pertinent to your camper’s health, safety, or experience may be provided to select camp staff working directly with your child in addition to leadership staff.

Program Content Will there be camp evaluations?

We value your input and will send out an online survey to help us to evaluate our summer camp programs.

How do I find out if my camper will have a parent show or activity during the day?

Certain camps will have a parent performance, and some sports-related camps may even have a camper vs. parent’s game. Dates and times of these performances are listed on the website in the daily agendas of the camp. An email will also be sent out with information.

Fliers are also posted at the camp's station, may be posted online or emailed, and fliers are also handed out to parents during the week.

How much instruction will my camper receive during his/her sports camp?

For a description of all the camp activities for the sports camp, please see the camp's agenda. Campers will participate in a variety of activities related to the sport that is the focus of the camp. Our camps are geared towards recreational levels, and have the goals of fostering cooperation between peers and learning new skills.

What if it rains?

In the event that it does rain, SRSRC staff will make a decision based on the intensity of the weather. If the decision is made that the rain does impact previously made plans, staff will utilize other appropriate parts of our facility or make alternative plans or trips than what were

48 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 previously scheduled. For some camps, the goal is to enjoy the water so a little rain may not cause a change in plans.

Pool & Beach Safety Where do campers change into their swimsuits?

Campers change into their swimsuits in our locker rooms while on-site. When off-site campers will use a locker room, changing area, or restroom that has been deemed safe by camp staff while offsite. The changing areas are okayed by staff and then monitored for safety (typically auditorily) while campers are utilizing them. Campers must be able to change in and out of swim attire independently.

What if my camper does not want to swim or forgot his/her swimsuit?

If a camper does not bring his/her swimsuit, they will not participate in swimming. If a camper does not want to swim he/she may be provided an alternate activity choice.

During swim time, campers may also have other options depending on the camp ranging from games, art cart activities, playground time, or a movie. Some of our activities besides swimming will involve water and clothes may still get wet, so dress your

camper in clothes in which they can get messy.

What if my camper can’t swim?

SRSRC lifeguarding and camp personnel perform a swim assessment to determine a camper’s swimming abilities. This assessment consists of one pool length (approximately 25 yards) across the pool in any style the camper feels most comfortable. Those that pass are allowed to swim in all areas of the pool, except for the lap lanes. If a child passes, but staff notice the child becomes fatigued or unable to swim with the same strength as before, staff may have the child stay in the shallow area.

Campers who choose not to take the swim assessment, do not satisfactorily complete the swim assessment, or become unable to swim safely, receive an orange bracelet and remain in the designated shallow areas.

How often do campers take the swim assessment?

Swim assessments are given on Mondays or on the first day that the camper chooses to swim for the week. Campers may only take

49 - SRSRC SUMMER CAMPS 2020 the swim assessment once per week. We do not offer swim assessments at other times, such as a pre-camp swim assessment.

A camper who does not pass the swim assessment has the opportunity to take the swim assessment the next session that they attend camp. This gives the camper time to progress and work on becoming a stronger swimmer before retaking the swim assessment. Campers who pass the swim assessment may still be asked to stay in the shallow area at times depending on certain factors such as fatigue.

How deep are the campers allowed to go into the water at the beach?

Campers may be asked to pass a swim assessment at some of the outside organizations we use for camps to determine how deep they can go in the ocean or to determine suitability for activities. SRSRC also conducts an informal swim assessment to determine the camper’s skill level of swimming to determine how far in the ocean they can go. Restrictions may also be placed based on the grade level of the campers.

The supervision at the beach consists of at least one staff on shore and one staff in the water. Head counts are conducted throughout the time campers are at the beach.
