Lunch and a morning and afternoon snack are provid- ed to each camper free of cost! If a camper is a picky eater, has allergies or has dietary restrictions, we encourage parents to pack a lunch from home. Our daily schedules are very flexible and vary depending upon the activities planned for your child’s camp. The typical time frame for lunch is thirty minutes between 11:30 am. and 1:30 pm. What if My Child Needs to Take Medica- tion During Camp Hours? We are happy to assist your child with their medical needs. Medication(s) must be in their original pre- scription container with the child’s name printed on the label and placed in a plas- tic bag. Please check-in the medication at the Red Shield Guest Services Desk and complete a Medical Information Sheet. Sal- vation Army staff will not dispense non-pre- scription medications without written pa- rental consent. What Happens if My Child Gets Sick or Injured? If a camper is too ill or hurt to con- tinue their camp day, parents will be imme- diately contacted. For minor scrapes and bruises, Day Camp staff will complete a Re- port to Parent (RTP) form to notify parents of the event at pick-up time. Electronic Devices We encourage campers to leave their elec- tronic devices at home, as we cannot be held liable if: lost, stolen, or damaged. Devices are not permitted during camp hours.
