Day Camps

Our Day Camp program during March Break and over the Summer offers an exciting weekly theme for children and youth to learn, stay active, and grow. We are proud to provide campers with a safe and happy atmosphere that encourages them to be themselves, make new friends, and have lots of fun!

All camp participants are enrolled into an age-appropriate group based on their birth date at registration. Participants are separated by age category for supervision, safety, and age-related programming.

Although there are separate groups, the entire camp may interact briefly with each other throughout the day or week.

Allergies

All allergies should be identified on your child's day camp forms. This information will be visible for your child's camp leader.

Medications

Medications should be signed-in each morning with our staff. Medications should be signed-out and taken home at pick up time each evening by the parent/guardian.

Please send the medication in the prescribed container.

The Town prefers that all medications be administered at home before attending camp. However, if medication is brought to camp, it must be contained in the prescribed container with physician and dosage information and shall be administered by the participant. Our staff are not permitted to administer any medication to participants unless it is epinephrine (Epi-Pen) for an emergency case of anaphylaxis.

Amherstburg’s Recreation Services reserves the right to withdraw Campers from the Day Camp program if behaviour expectations are not met that are conducive to a safe and healthy camp environment. The Behaviour Contract applies not only to campers but to their caregivers, parents/guardians

Examples include:

· Verbal or physical abuse against campers or staff

· Stealing or any other illegal actions

· Behaviour that causes a constant need for one-on-one care and leaves a staff member unable to supervise their group/class on a consistent basis

· Constant disregard of staff direction/guidance

The Town of Amherstburg's Recreation Services Division takes pride in providing an inclusive programming experience. Every possible effort is made to ensure your child is given equal opportunities and accommodations where/when applicable. That being said, we cannot provide one-on-one care to campers. We do allow for the use of Family Respite and/or a social worker when attending camp. If your child requires assistance during programming, you will need to contact the Recreation Supervisor to discuss prior to the first day.

Campers will have the opportunity to explore our 149 acres of land at the Libro Centre. Before going outdoors, program leaders ensure that the temperature and weather is safe, that campers are dressed appropriately for the weather and that sunscreen has been applied.

Lunch takes place indoors every day; weather permitting we sometimes have lunch outdoors. Campers will engage in outdoor play and sporting activities each day. When outdoors, frequent water breaks and pauses for sunscreen re-application will take place.

Photographs may be taken for marketing purposes on our website and social media. Photos are only taken by authorized personnel.

If you do not wish for your child to be photographed, please indicate such at the time of registration as well as on your day camp forms. For children who have not been approved for photos, a note will be added to their profile.
