Thank you for enrolling your child into one of Camp Cordova’s Summer Day Camp programs. The Cordova Recreation and Park District strives to serve and meet the needs of its community. Camp Cordova provides an affordable option for supervised care for children, provides opportunities for children to build social skills, make new friends, gain a love for physical activity and the outdoors and create positive lasting memories. Camp Cordova Day Camps maintain a high level of quality programming through careful planning, qualified staff and intense safety trainings.

Please familiarize yourself with this packet and return the TWO registration FORMS to the Hagan Community Center office at 2197 Chase Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670, Attn: Angie Stolze or give to the Camp Cordova Staff on site the morning you arrive for camp. Every child MUST have these forms on file in order to be left under the supervision of the Camp Cordova and staff.

� Camper Information Form � Camp Waiver

Camp Cordova, traditionally held at Hagan park, has expanded. We have added two specialty camps, Camp Cordova’s Sports Adventure which will take place at the Lincoln Village Park with a focus on “sporty Camp-Style” games and Camp Cordova’s Imagine That! which will be held at the White Rock Clubhouse with a focus on art and science. Camp Cordova’s Traditional Camp will still take place at Hagan Park. All three Camp Cordova sites are managed with a high quality of customer service, safety and supervision, utilize qualified well-trained staff and are programmed with a child-centered curriculum of activities and fun. The Camp Cordova Registration Packet will provide you with general program information that pertains to all three Camp Cordova programs, along with information sheets specific to each Camp Cordova site. All camp participants will need a completed Camper Information Form and Camp Waiver on site while attending a Camp Cordova program. After reviewing the registration packet, additional questions, comments or concerns can be addressed by contacting the Program Coordinator, Angie Stolze at [email protected]. General Program Information Camp Cordova programs spend the majority of their time outdoors. Children participate in a variety of activities including sports, arts & crafts, games and water activities. Children are supervised at all times by camp staff while in their age groups* or camp wide. Thursdays are fieldtrip days** all attending campers must where a camp t-shirt ($10). Occassional camp wide activities and contests fit the weekly theme. Campers are required to bring their own lunch and water bottle, each day.

*Siblings are not placed in the same group unless they are the same age. Exceptions will be made at the discretion of the Day Camp Director for children who are having difficulty adjusting to the camp program. ** There is no additional cost for field trips BUT Camper T-shirts must be purchased for $10 each to wear on field trips. (This helps staff easily identify campers.) Registration Information

• You may register for a single week session. We will not hold spaces without payment and may decline registration for safety reasons if the Staff/Camper ratio has reached its maximum.

• Multiple Session Discount- Register for 3 sessions or more at once and receive $10 off each session. The multiple session discount can be combined with registration in Camp Cordova’s Traditional Camp, Sports Adventure Camp or Imagine That! Camp.

• PLEASE REGISTER YOUR CHILD NO LATER THAN THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE CAMP SESSION BEGINS. This allows us to have a more accurate count of campers and the amount of staffing needed

for the week. • Children must be registered with all paperwork completed before the child is left in our care. Please

allow yourself extra time to complete the Camper Info Form and Camp Waiver on-site if you have not returned it prior to the first day of camp.

We can address any issues and will discuss further if the program is ultimately the right fit for your child.

The lunch container should be labeled with the child’s name and the medication MUST BE LABELED with the child’s name and content. Children can be reminded to take medication, but they are responsible for doing so. Children with life threatening conditions such as asthma or bee sting allergies should keep their medication with them. The medication portion of the Camper Information Form must be completed for children taking or carrying medication at camp. Camp staff cannot administer or hold onto medication.

• Be on time. The bus will leave promptly at the scheduled time. Children attending the field trip must ride the bus to and from the destination. There are no refunds for children who miss the bus and subsequently miss the field trip. Parents may not transport children to attend the field trip, unless permission is grated by the Recreation Coordinator under specialized circumstances. If we are having a special event at the park, you are welcome to attend.

Camp Rules:

• Follow directions; listen to, respect, and cooperate with others. • Respect the park, facilities, and animals. • Keep one foot on the ground at all times; NO TREE CLIMBING! • Keep rocks and all “ground stuff” on the ground. Do not throw things. • Get permission before leaving your activity area. Always use the “Buddy System”. • You must wear shoes at all times at camp, except while swimming. • Do not bring cell phones, toys or valuables from home.

Behavioral Policies Inappropriate behavior will be addressed promptly. The situation will be discussed by the staff and the participant(s) involved. The parent(s) of the child(ren) may be contacted.

The following format is used:

1st offense Warning 2nd offense Removal from the activity (temporarily) 3rd offense Removal from activity; child speaks to Recreation Coordinator, parent may be

contacted.

Possible consequences include sitting out from a group activity, loss of special activities, suspension from field trip, or having to write a letter home. Should you receive one of these letters, please discuss the incident with your child, sign the letter (so we know you received it), and return it to camp the next day.

If the behavior is such that the child is a danger to himself or others, or is interfering with the program, you will be asked to pick up your child from camp immediately. NO REFUNDS will be issued for children missing camp due to behavioral incidents.

Physical aggression or violence is addressed as follows:

1st offense Removal from activity, speak to Recreation Coordinator, parents will be called. If the child is uncooperative, violent, or disrespectful of staff, the child will be sent home.

2nd offense Suspended from the field trip, may also be suspended additional full days of camp. 3rd offense Permanent removal from program.

The actions taken by staff will be governed by the age of the child and the behavior. If the staff feels the child is a danger to him/herself or others, he or she will be immediately suspended from the program. Our program is recreational in nature; staff is not trained in psychological or behavioral disorders. Staff will attempt to work with the child and parents within reason, however the safety of the other children and our staff is paramount. No child will be allowed to participate if he or she threatens the safety of others.

General Information Our primary focus is to give children a chance to explore and interpret the world around them. We do so by providing in depth curriculum and hands on projects. Our art and science is process focused, not product based, this means we place emphasis on the challenges and creativity used to complete the project, not the desired end result. *There will be no pro-rated accommodations given for days missed. We accept WEEKLY registrations only. FUSION of Art & Science We belive that the complexities of art & science go hand in hand. Each week the children will be split into two age groups (5-7 & 8-11) to explore different science and art possibillities. At the end of each day all participants will come together in group discussion to expand on their creations and make meaningful connections. Splash Park Each day our campers will have access to the White Rock Splash Park! We ask that all children follow all Splash Park rules. Small Orange Slide: Rider must be at least 42" or 3ft 6in.

Class: Day Camp Location: Community Parks; Hagan, White Rock, Lincoln Village Days: Monday - Friday Dates: 5/31 – 8/5/16 Times: 7AM - 6PM Instructor: Staff

The Cordova Recreation and Park District's Day Camp program is an outdoor camp based in our Community Parks. Planned activities make extensive use of the ball fields, courts, buildings, picnic areas, open spaces, and playgrounds. Wildlife does flourish in the vicinity of Hagan Park near the American River, as well as, in other community parks of the area. Gophers, poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, and skunks have all been encountered by park users. Bee stings do occur, however infrequently. Art and craft activities involve paints, pastes, glues, paper, scissors, crayons, other basic materials, and items found by participants. Active games are conducted on turf, asphalt, concrete, and unimproved exterior surfaces, while indoor activities of active and passive types are held on tiled and hardwood floors. Games engaged in by participants may involve balls, bats, frisbees, and hula hoops; they may require running, skipping, sliding, and jumping. Quite often there are other activities taking place in the surrounding areas during the conduct of Day Camp. Some of these activities are sponsored by the Park District, some by other agencies, and many are unscheduled and spontaneous use of the area by groups and individuals. District maintenance activities such as mowing, watering, trimming, repairing, and cleaning are ongoing. Parents of children who take medication during camp assume all responsibility and risk of that medication. District will not be held responsible for injuries or problems that occur due to the use of medication. District is not responsible for medication which is lost, stolen, or traded by children. Problems may include: overdose, child refusing to take medication, or injuries to a child who receives medication prescribed to another child. District staff will not administer medication or assist child in taking medication. District will not be held responsible if child forgets or refuses to take medication. Please be advised that the District places the highest priority on the safety of your child. However, with activities taking place out-of-doors, over many acres of park space, accidents and injuries are possible, although serious injuries are exceedingly rare. Day Camp participants are subject to the usual assortment of abrasions, cuts, and sprains that active children experience.

Agreement, Waiver, and Release - General In consideration of being permitted by Cordova Recreation and Park District to participate in this class, I hereby waive, release, and discharge all claims for damages for personal injury, death, or property damage which I may have or which may hereafter accrue as a result of my participation in said activity.

I fully understand and acknowledge that: (a) There are risks and dangers associated with participation in classes, including but not limited to those of bodily injury, partial and/or total disability, paralysis and death; (b) The social and economic losses and/or damages, which could result from those risks and damages could be severe; (c) These risks and dangers may be caused by the negligence of participants or the negligence of others, including but not limited to the "Releasees" named above; (d) There may be other risks unknown to us or not reasonably foreseeable at this time. I further accept and assume such risks and responsibility for the losses and/or damages following such injury, disability, paralysis or death, however caused and whether caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the "Releasees" named above. As parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s), I consent to instruct the minor participating in any district class to inspect the facilities and equipment to be used, or I will inspect said facility and equipment myself, and if he or she believes anything is unsafe, the participant or parent/legal guardian should immediately advise the instructor of such condition and refuse to participate until the faulty condition is corrected.
