Day Camp

Sleepy Hollow Algonquin Lakes June 5-August 4
Breakdown of GroupsEach counselor will be responsible for up to 10 campers. The campers will be split into groups based on age. These groups will change periodically during the summer, allowing campers to work with many of the counselors. Within each group, campers will be paired with a buddy. It is important that campers utilize the buddy system at all times.
Weekly Newsletters Each camp Site Director is responsible for the creation of a camp newsletter that will be emailed on a weekly basis. This newsletter will highlight the specifics for the week. Please be sure to read it carefully, to ensure you are aware of any special supply requests and the week’s schedule.
Drop-off & Pick-up Procedures All campers will need to be signed in and signed out each day by the adult bringing them and picking them up. The person picking up and dropping off must be listed as an authorized person.
Sleepy Hollow CampSleepy Hollow Elementary School - 898 Glen Oak Drive, Sleepy Hollow Sleepy Hollow Center - 875 Winmoor Drive, Sleepy Hollow During the regular camp hours of 9:00 am-3:00 pm, pick-up and drop-off will be held at the front entrance of Sleepy Hollow Elementary School.

Swimming Days* Swim dates are tentative with pool schedules and conditions. We will utilize the buddy system for campers and counselors will supervise using a rotation system. Any swimmer wanting to go into a deep area of a pool will first have to pass a swim test to be allowed to do so. Campers will wear wristbands based on swim ability. On days transportation is required, the bus will pick-up at 11:30 am and return to camp at approximately 2:45 pm.

Field TripsTo ensure your child’s safety, we require that your child wear his/her day camp T-shirt on field trip days. Day camp t-shirts should be in good condition with sleeves intact and should not be covered by other clothing. T-shirts will be handed out during your child’s first week at camp. A $10 fee will be charged for replacement shirts.
Money is not needed for any of the field trips. If you choose to send money with your child, we ask that you send a maximum of $5. Your child will be responsible for his/her own money.
In Case of EmergencyPlease be sure all contact information on the registration form is kept current. These forms contain vital information regarding your child and his/her safety. Direct contact telephone numbers for the camp will be given in the camp newsletter.
Day Camp is a Dundee Township Park District program. Therefore, please do not contact Sleepy Hollow Elementary School or Algonquin Lakes Elementary School with questions regarding Day Camp. Site Directors do carry the camp cell phone with them. However, there are times such as swimming, when they are unable to do so. If you get the voicemail, please leave a message. Site Directors do frequent telephone checks. You may also contact Tammy at the Randall Oaks Recreation Center at (847) 428-7131 x2204.
Campers should bring a backpack with them each day, filled with the following:
• Lunch-lunches will not be refrigerated. • Extra Water Bottle • Sunscreen • Bug Spray • Swim Suit and Towel-even on no swim days,

MedicineWe recognize that program participants will, on occasion, require the consumption of prescription and/or non-prescription medications.

The form can be picked up at either the Rakow Center or Randall Oaks Recreation Center prior to camp and must be filled out completely for all medication.
Three-Strike PolicyTo ensure a pleasant and safe environment for your child and his/her fellow campers, we have adopted the following policy concerning consistent disruptive behavior. It is based on a three-strike system.
First Strike A phone call to the parent/guardian will be made, along with sending a note home.
Second Strike A phone call and a confirming note will be issued. In addition, a reminder will be sent that a third strike will result in dismissal from the camp.
Third Strike The child will be removed from the group and will wait with a staff member while the parent is called to pick him/her up. He/she will not be allowed to return to camp for the remainder of the summer. No refund will be issued.
Personal BelongingsCounselors are not responsible for money or personal property brought by the children. Children are allowed to play with personal belongings at before and after camp care, but not during day camp. Each camper is personally responsible for what they bring to camp.
Late Pick-Up & Early Drop-Off ChargesWhen scheduled pick-ups and drop-offs are not followed, camp staff must spend additional time on the clock. As a result, camp fees continue to rise. To help maintain a reasonable cost to you, please make sure your child is picked up and dropped off on time.
Charges will be as follows: first ten minutes, $5; each additional minute thereafter, $1 per minute. Fees must be paid prior to returning to the program. Please make arrangements to pick-up and drop-off your child on time.
