  1. What do I do if my child has allergies?

Be sure to advise us of this on your child’s registration form so that we can make alternate arrangements.

 

  1. How do you safely take 30+ children swimming? Quite simply, we follow the pool rules.  Including making sure those who need to are wearing PFDs, are grouped with a specific leader in ratios set out by the pool and that the lifeguard’s word is final.  Beside the staff in the water, we also have staff on the deck doing constant visual checks that every child is accounted for during our stay at the pool.  We have a check list with every child’s name and we check off that we have seen each child, when we get through the list; we start again, for the entire time we are at the pool.  That’s why we don’t go swimming till later in the week so that we know your child well enough to recognize them when they’re all wet!

  1. What does my child need to bring to Day Camp?

Each day they will need to bring a bag lunch.  Please be sure their name is on their lunch bag.  We will provide two snacks each day.

Monday we will be going to Kid City (Archibald).  Please be sure your child is wearing socks this day.

Tuesday we are off to the Red River Community Centre for some gym fun, including a bouncer!.  A pair of indoor shoes are recommended.

Wednesday we are going to the Elmwood-Kildonan Swimming Pool.  A swimsuit, towel and PFD if you have one.  Lockers are available for  $0.25 (Quarter)

Thursday we will be going to the Bruce D. Campbell Farm and Food Discovery Centre.  Lots of fun discovering realities and technologies of modern farming.  Short periods of time are spent outside travelling from one barn to another.  Be sure to dress comfortably for outdoor time.

We have plenty of toys and games for children to play with when they arrive.  It would be best if they do not bring toys, games, or electronics from home as we cannot be responsible for them and we wouldn’t want them to get mixed up with the things we have here or with some else’s items.
