CHANDLER SIGNATURE CAMPS | 2020 PARENT GUIDE

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the City of Chandler’s Signature Camps! We have worked very hard to create educational, enjoyable, and memorable programs while your kids are out of school. To ensure the success of these programs and the safety of our campers, we ask that all parents and campers read through the information provided in this guide.

Though each week of camp and the trips are unique unto themselves, our overriding policies and guidelines are not. In this parent guide you will find a list of policies and guidelines that we ask all parents, campers, and staff to follow. Please take a few moments to read it over and then sign the Policy Acknowledgement and Emergency Forms provided in this guide.

If you have any questions please contact me directly or my assistant, Sarah Phillips.

Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to another fun session of camp!

Sincerely,Marissa Barreras Chandler Building Blocks Coordinator 480-782-2912 [email protected]
