General information:

• Summer Camp opens at 7 a.m.
• Children must be picked up by 4:30 p.m.
• Names must be marked on all personal items. Royal Crown is NOT responsible for lost, broken or stolen items.
• In an effort to better suit children during activities and playtime, we will be dividing campers into age groups. Sibling who would like to stay together would go with the younger of the two groups.

Camp Fees:

• If paid in full, camp for a full-day camper is $1,000.  (Pay-in-full covers care from the last day of school until the first day of school.)
• If paid week-to-week, a full-day camper is $160/wk.
• Discounts will not be given for missed days.
• If week-to-week, parents may select in advance which weeks they will participate. They will only be charged for those weeks.
• Automatic charges will occur at approximately 7 a.m. the Friday morning prior to the start of the week.
  • Example: If you are enrolled for the week of June 6-10, your weekly fee will be automatically charged to the card on file the morning of June 3

• Parents will be notified by noon if the card on file is unable to be charged. In order to reserve the child’s spot for the following week, payment will need to be completed by 5 p.m. the Friday prior to the start of the week.
• Payments must be up to date in order for a child to participate.
• For payments made in full, cash or charge is accepted.
• For weekly payments, cash or card on file is accepted. Cash must be paid by close of business on Thursday so your card is not automatically charged.
• Because your child will hold a slot in a class, no refunds will be issued at any time.
• Refunds are not available for students who have paid for the summer in full.

Snacks and Meals:

• Snacks are also available for purchase at the front desk at designated times throughout the day.
• Lunch is served at noon. Students may bring their own lunches or opt for a bag lunch for $2. A bag lunch will include a sandwich, a fruit or vegetable, chips/cookie and a drink.
• A snack will be provided by Royal Crown each day at 3:30 p.m. Campers may also bring their own snacks or put money on their accounts to purchase snacks at the front desk. Caffeinated beverages and candy are not permitted for purchase during Summer Camp hours. Healthy options will be available at the front desk.
• Parents may place restrictions on their child’s snack accounts by notifying our front desk or Kids Camp staff.
• Water will be available with all meals and throughout the day.
• Parents may add credit onto their child’s lunch and snack account by notifying our Kids Camp staff.

Dress Code:

• Tennis shoes are recommended for daily activities. Sandals and flip flops are discouraged.
• All clothing should be comfortable and weather-appropriate.
• K-4th grade parents: Please send your child with a back-up outfit on their first day to be left at Royal Crown throughout the summer. This outfit will be worn if they ever have an accident or get dirty. Outfits will be sent home with parents on the final day of Summer Camp. Clothing not picked up by Sept. 1 will be donated to Good Will.

Discipline:

• Appropriate behavior and language are expected at Royal Crown.
• Rules will be clearly stated by counselors. Our goal is to always use redirection and positive reinforcement. At times, time outs and quiet time may be required for children who need some additional space and calming.
• Students who demonstrate physical violence or blatantly vandalize property may be removed from the program.
• For minor situations, parents will be notified at the end of the day. If the problem persists or additional assistance is needed, a parent will be called during the day.

Release of Participants:

• All children must be signed in and out by a parent or authorized pick-up contact each day. A government-issued photo ID may be required if someone is picking up whom our staff is not familiar.
• Only those who have been designated to pick up a child are allowed to pick up.
• If someone else is picking up your child, we will ask that you complete an “Add a Contact” form in advance.

Medications:

• A child may not receive medication of any kind unless it is required by a doctor.
• Parents/guardians must place medicine in a Ziploc bag with child’s name, dosage and frequency. Medication must be provided in the original container with pharmacy/doctor instructions and label.

Illness:

• Please inform the director immediately if your child develops any of the following symptoms:
  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Redness of the eyes or itchy eyes
  • Sore throat or hoarse voice
  • Rash
• Campers with these symptoms will not be allowed to attend camp until they are 24 hours free of symptoms or have a doctor’s note.
• Additional hand-sanitizing measures and social distancing will be monitored and enforced throughout Summer 2022.
