4. 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
5. What safety precautions do you use in light of Covid-19? We will be following whatever the Manitoba restrictions are at the time. All our staff are double vaccinated. Lots of hand sanitizer!
6. How do you safely take 40+ 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!

7. 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. It is very important that your child be wearing socks this day.
Tuesday we are off to The Manitoba Electrical Museum. Nothing extra required for this truly hair-raising experience.
Wednesday we are going to Pan-Am Swimming Pool. A swimsuit, towel and PFD if you have one.
Thursday we will be going to the Assiniboine Park Zoo. Be sure to have your child dress for the weather that day.
Friday we are going to the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre. Nothing special required today. But note that we won’t be back to the church until 5:45 this day.
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.
