**SUMMER SUPERVISED PLAYGROUND POLICIES** Our Summer Supervised Playground Program is NOT a Day Camp. However, children

may leave the program after arrival ONLY with parent/guardian and presentation of proper identifi-

cation. When dropping off your child with Summer Park Staff you will be required to sign them in

at drop off and sign them out at pickup.

If trip starts later in the morning, please check with the counselors the day before to see if

the park will open at 8:30am or drop children off fifteen minutes before the bus leaves from Cres-

cent Field Parking Lot B.

Electronic games must be left at home. If electronic games are brought to camp, children

will not be allowed to use them. They will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day to the

parent/guardian. The Town of Dover will not be responsible for them if they are lost or stolen.

Please be advised that the Town of Dover Summer Program closes promptly at 4:30pm

sharp. Late pickup for any reason will result in an additional charge of $25.00 to the family who

has not picked up their child by 4:45pm. Dover Recreation will not tolerate any insubordinate or

inappropriate behavior in the parks or on trips. Any such behavior could result in dismissal from

the summer program. No refunds will be given to those expelled from program or trips.
