Camper T-Shirts: Your child will receive a camper T-shirt at Camp Open House. If you cannot attend,

they will receive their shirt the first week they attend camp. One T-Shirt is given to each child. Camper T

-shirts do not need to be worn each day. Usually, the camper T-shirt is worn on field trip days.

Camper Attire: Your child should wear comfortable clothing and clothing that can get wet! Many

summer activities are outdoor and involve water from time to time. Tennis shoes and socks are pre-

ferred to avoid foot and ankle injuries more likely to occur in flip flops or sandals. Please label your

child’s name on clothing if possible.

Swim Days (Traditional Camp): Swim suits are to be worn under clothing on swim days to avoid de-

lays in the morning with clothing changes. A swim towel with their name on it is also required. The chil-

dren will be given time after swimming to change out of their swim suits and into dry clothes. Sun-

screen should be generously applied on your child before they arrive on swim days.

Sunscreen: We ask that you provide your child with their own bottle of sunscreen throughout sum-

mer camp. Please clearly mark their name on this. Our staff will have the children re-apply sunscreen

throughout the day, each day, when they are outdoors and at the pool. Please note that our staff may

ask your child to put a T-shirt on over their swim suit at times if in the sun for a lengthy period of time.

Heat/Severe weather: Rain or shine, our camp program will operate. If it is too hot or severe weather

threatens outdoor activities, camps will move indoors and modify the planned activities accordingly. All

field trips are subject to change and/or cancel if heat or severe weather conditions threaten the origi-

nally scheduled plans.

Lunch, snacks, and drinks (if with us for a full day): Please pack a hearty sack lunch, one that does not

require microwaving, and two snacks each day of camp for your child. You will also want to provide a

refillable bottle for drinking. Please mark your child’s name on their lunch box, and all belongings. Be-

cause we recognize that food allergies among many of our students are a concern and we want to cre-

ate an environment that will reduce risks to the children with such allergies, we ask that you refrain

from including peanut butter in your child’s lunch if possible. We realize this request will not eliminate

all possible exposures. If you have additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact the Di-

rector, Sue Belleville, Kim Schumacher the Director of Nursing, or Gail Jones, the Director of Food and

Nutrition. You can find additional information about the district’s food allergy awareness protocol by

clicking here.

Off campus field trips (Traditional camp): Campers will be transported, by the Fox C-6 transportation

buses and drivers, to a variety of venues that include concession stands, and arcade games. If you wish

to send your child with extra money for these locations, please put it in an envelope clearly marked

with your child’s name and make sure they have a secured pocket to keep it in. Staff will not be respon-

sible for “holding” money for the campers.

Behavior:

When a child is having a difficult time following directions or difficulties treating others or equipment with respect, developmentally appropriate guidance techniques are used. These techniques are as follows:

Positive Reinforcement: The child will be encouraged when he/she shows acceptable behavior. Redirection: The child is redirected to another activity and given an opportunity to try again at another time. "When… Then" Statements: A statement in which the child is encouraged to accomplish something be-fore going on to something else. Example: "When you finish picking up the blocks, then you can go outside." “If… Then" Statements: A statement in which the child is encouraged to make a positive choice. Sample: "If you pick up the blocks, then you can go to the Dramatic Play area." Time Away from Problem Causing Activity: The child is separated from the problem causing activity for a child regulated period of time; the child can initiate, at any time, a conversation with staff to process the sit-uation. This technique is used only when a child is exhibiting temper tantrum behavior or could potentially hurt self, others, or equipment. When the child shows that he/she is ready to demonstrate acceptable be-havior, the child is encouraged to join the rest of the group and try again. In the event the above techniques do not work: CKC Camp staff will contact the parent/guardian for either immediate pick up of the child, or so the child can converse with the parent on the phone. If we ask for a parent/guardian to pick up their child, CKC Camp staff expects the child to be picked up within one hour of contact. CKC Camp supervisors may also schedule a conference with the child, parent/guardian, and director to discuss a plan for improvement. At that time, the Director may discuss suspension or expulsion from the program if necessary. Dangerous behavior will be dealt with on an individual basis and will require swifter, alternative action. The Character Kid's Club camp program will NOT tolerate violent or hurtful behavior.

CKC camp staff are trained to lead by example and demonstrate positive behavior traits. Our number one priority is to keep all children safe and protected from inappropriate or dangerous behavior.

Discipline:

CKC philosophy of discipline is based on respect for the child’s self-esteem, setting reasonable limits and

consequences, and encouraging increased self-discipline, while also promoting respect for others and prob-

lem solving skills. The CKC camp staff will work with the child and cooperate with the families to resolve

problems. Conferences or suspensions may be required. Occasionally parents/guardians are requested to

pick up a child who is disruptive. If continual efforts to resolve the situation or behaviors are not productive,

the result will be dismissal from the program.

17

17

Discipline continued:

The following is an abbreviated list of offenses. The consequences of these offenses could be suspension or

dismissal from CKC camp. Offenses not included on this list may also result in similar disciplinary action.

Assault: Assault is attempting to cause injury to a Character Kid's Club staff or other children or intentional-

ly placing a person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical danger.

Destruction of property/vandalism: Destruction or vandalism is any damage to Fox C-6 School District or

Character Kid’s Club property or the property of staff, or students due to willful or inappropriate behavior.

Harassment: Harassment based on sex, sexual orientation, religion, race, color, national origin, ethnicity,

or disability of students or staff will not be permitted.

Fireworks/explosives/ammunition: The use or possession of fireworks, explosives, or ammunition creates

a hazard to both life and property and will not be allowed at Character Kid's Club.

Fighting/Hitting/ physically harming or attempting to harm: Fighting, hitting, and physical harm or

attempting to harm, pretend or real, is not allowed in the Character Kid's Club.

or fire-related damage on school property, buses, or at a school sponsored activity off school property. A re-

port may be filed with the fire and /or police departments.

Guns-Firearm-Free Schools: The Character Kid's Club seeks to provide a safe, violence -free environment.

sion of illegal substances will be turned over to the proper authorities.

Illness and Injury:

If an illness or an emergency does occur, based on the emergency contact information provided by the

parent/guardian, we will call the parents/guardians first. We will attempt contact for the parents/guardians

by using all numbers provided. If we are unable to reach the parents/guardians, we will continue to try the

emergency contact numbers on your list until an emergency contact has been reached. Please keep these

emergency contacts up to date.

If a minor injury occurs, an injury notice will be given to the parent/guardian the day it occurs explaining the

basic first aid that was administered. Any serious injury or head injury will be reported to the parents/

guardians immediately so that the appropriate action may be taken. In a life-threatening emergency, 911

will be called and the child will be transported to the nearest medical facility. Parents/guardians will be noti-

fied immediately following all serious injuries and, in most cases, will make the decision regarding the need

for medical intervention.

Contagious or Infectious Disease:

A student may not attend Camp while afflicted with any contagious or infectious disease, or while liable to

transmit such a disease after being exposed. Some more common contagious diseases are: impetigo, head

lice, rosella, scabies, measles, pinworm, ring worm, chicken pox, pink eye and strep throat. Reporting and

disease outbreak control measures will be implemented in accordance with federal and state laws and De-

partment of Health rules governing the control of communicable strains and other diseases dangerous to

public health.

Medical Staff: CKC Camp staff do not have access to district medical staff. There is no nurse on duty during

summer camp programs. Please make an appointment to speak with CKC camp staff prior to the start of

camp to ensure any and all medical questions and concerns are answered.

Medication Administration: Please note that a school nurse or medical personnel is NEVER on staff during

summer camp.

CKC camp programming requests that medication be administered either by a parent/guardian before or

after a child attends our camp program. Medication administration must be discussed with the CKC Camp

Coordinator if it is not possible for your child to have medication given before camp, or after your child is

home for the evening. Please contact the main office at (636)-282-6915 ext. 2640 for additional information.

Character Kid's Club/Community Outreach and the Fox C-6 school district reserves the right to reject re-

quests for administering medication.

All medication approved to be administered by our staff, is required to have a prescription label or be ac-

companied by a doctor’s note. Additionally, a medication form must be filled out by a parent in order for

staff to administer medicine, and the medication must be given to the staff at the beginning of camp.

Early Drop-Off and Late Pick-Up Policy: The before care opens at 6:00 am. Children cannot be signed into

camp prior to 6:00 am. The camps close at 6:15 pm. It is your responsibility to make other arrangements if

you cannot pick up your child by 6:15 p.m. If a child is not picked-up by 6:15 p.m., a late fee will be assessed

at the rate of $1.00 per minute per child starting at 6:20 p.m. At 6:20 p.m., if the camp staff has not heard

from the late parent/guardian, the staff will start making phone calls to the child’s parent/guardian, or other

emergency contact numbers until the staff finds someone to pick up the child. If the camp has not been con-

tacted or an emergency contact has not been reached within 30 minutes of the camp closing time, the police

and the Department of Social Services may be notified that the child has not been picked up so they can as-

sist in finding the parents/guardians. Frequent late pick-up or early drop off may lead to the termination of

your child’s enrollment in our camp program.

Admit/Release Polices and Authorized Pick-ups: Children are required to be signed in and out of camp eve-

ry day, by the parent or adult authorized pick-up with a full signature. Students utilizing our camps may not

be dropped off outside the building before school.

In the event of a parent’s divorce or separation, we are required to release the child to either parent unless

legal documentation states otherwise. Parents/Guardians should submit to the Camp Supervisors any perti-

nent legal documentation to prevent an unauthorized pickup by the non-custodial parent. If a parent is not

listed on the authorized pick-up list or authorized contact list in the student’s database, the parent must

demonstrate through legal documentation and state issued identification that he/she is the parent of that

child. Written authorization for pick-up does not supersede the legal documentation; the legal documenta-

tion (if provided) will be followed. The authorized pick-up must be of driving age and able to show a valid

driver’s license photo ID. Staff will ask for photo identification from anyone picking up a child in our camps

until they become familiar with that person.

If the authorized pick-up or parent/guardian appears intoxicated or under the influence, the children will not

be released from the Camp Program. Staff will call the Director to assist in making other arrangements.

Staff members are not allowed to sign your child in or out of the program.

Support for Children with Special Needs

Our camp programming supports the inclusion of children with special needs. The majority of children will be

able to fully participate in our program without any major accommodations or support. It is expected that

only the students with challenging or significant needs will require reasonable accommodations if available or

possible. The level of support needed by a student is determined on an individual basis. Please advise us of

any special needs that your child may have. We will then make a decision as to what reasonable accommo-

dations our camps can provide. However, please note that our department does not have the same staff re-

sources available that your child may receive during the normal school day/school year. We will provide sup-

port to the best of our ability for children with special needs, however, because our camp is not instructional

by nature, if a child poses difficulties that cannot be met with the support our summer camp has within its

means, or if a child with support cannot function in the camp as it is designed, we do reserve the right to ter-

minate the child’s enrollment in our program.

Camp Information/Contacts


Termination: Although this program is offered and operated by the school district, unlike school, it is a privi-

lege for a child to attend this program; it is not his/her right. Therefore, the Character Kid's Club reserves the

right to release or restrict children, families and/or parents/guardians from the Character Kid’s Club Summer

Camp Program should the situation warrant. If a child is terminated there will be no refund or credit given for

days missed due to termination.
