and Joe’s Class Camp Dainava 2018
Dear Families,
Camp
is in 4 weeks! Today we are sending:
- Permission slip
- Overnight Medical Form (Required by district)
- District required “Communication Protocol”
- What to pack list and camp rules
- Volunteer verification form – brief, for to be turned in to Karen at the office
Please read this note carefully and keep it
somewhere safe and retrievable!!!
First, sign and return the
permission slip! Please
mention any special health concerns, ‘good to know’ routines, fears, etc., that
will help me keep your child comfortable. Also, include emergency contact
information.
MEDICATION!! If your
child takes medication regularly please let his or her teacher know in
writing! Medication should be in its
original pharmacy container with the doctor’s prescription label. It is helpful
if medication is enclosed in a Ziploc bag, clearly labeled with you child’s
name and administration instructions. ALL
MEDICATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE TEACHER THE FiRST MORNING OF CAMP! Students should not carry medication in their
luggage. Please attach a note to indicate your child’s medical needs. If you
suspect your child will need Tylenol or another over the counter remedy, we
need a note of permission as well. Any special information needs to be in
writing.
PACKING: Please read the attached packing
list. No electronic games or equipment are allowed. This is camp! Each child should pack enough
reading material for rest times and down times. Cards and board games are
ok. Leave valuables at home. Make sure
your child has good sturdy outdoor shoes. Sandals are not good for hiking. They do not protect the feet well enough.
Pack for Michigan: If you don’t like the
weather, wait a minute!
FOOD: SEND A SACK LUNCH ON
WEDNESDAY! We will eat our lunches at camp. Contact me with
any food concerns specific to your child. Also, let us know if you can donate
or solicit donations of food. THURSDAY IS THE FAMILY POT
LUCK! Come and join us in the beautiful camp
setting. We will have a campfire and
night activities.
BACKGROUND CHECKS! Remember, all parents who will be alone
supervising children or spending the night must submit to a background check. This
can be done at the office.
Students
must be with adults at all times. They
cannot be sent unsupervised to a room, etc.
Also, please do not take your child from camp without telling me!!! I
will be doing frequent checks, and I need to know where every child is!!!
