Camp Policies
Pick Up & Drop Off:
We want your children to be safe while they are at camp. This policy helps to
make sure your child is not picked up by someone who may harm them.
You MUST have the Camp Information Form returned by the first day your child
attends camp. You need to identify the name of each person that is allowed to
pick up your child, including yourself. WE CANNOT RELEASE YOUR CHILD TO
ANYONE THAT IS NOT ON THIS FORM. We will contact the parent/guardian for
permission if someone not on the list comes to pick up your child. We know that
emergencies happen so parents should send written notice (signed and dated
by the parent/guardian) when someone not on the pick-up list will be coming to
pick up their child.
When you get to camp, you will be required to sign in and sign out your child.
PLEASE NOTE THAT CHILDREN MAY NOT BE DROPPED OFF AT CAMP PRIOR TO
7:00AM AND MUST BE PICKED UP BY 6:00PM. A LATE FEE of $5 will be added for
every 10 minutes past 6:00pm.
Sick Camper:
If your child is sick and has a fever or any other illness that may be contagious,
we ask that you keep your child at home until they are healthy again. This helps
to prevent illness from going to all the children and other staff in our camp. In
addition, if your child gets sick during camp, we will call you immediately to pick
them up. Again, this will allow us to protect all the children and staff from getting
sick. This includes, but is not limited to, fever, head lice, vomiting, etc.
Dispensing Medication:
Medications can be administered to children by our Camp Coordinator only. If
your child has a medication that they must take, you need to bring it to camp in
the ORIGINAL MARKED bottle in a zip lock bag with your childs name written on
the bag. We are not responsible for storing medication during the week please
pack any needed medication in your childs bag each day. You must also fill
www.maurywellness.org 931-548-2420
out the medication authorization form for medication to be dispensed. This form
is attached at the end of this packet.
Risk Management:
The Wellness and Aquatics Complex takes the business of children very seriously.
Nothing is more important to us than your child. In order to share that
responsibility with you, we have several policies, procedures, and expectations
that you must be aware of.
Members and guest members of the WAC are checked against the national
sex offender database before we can allow use of our facility.
Lifeguards are certified through Ellis & Associates, Inc. and have extensive
training to provide safety to our aquatics facility. In order to provide
adequate safety to all using the aquatics facility we ask that you and your
child refrain from talking to lifeguards while they are guarding their pool.
All children under the age of 13 must pass a swim test before being allowed
access to the pool without a life jacket. Children who pass the swim test will
be given a swim band and will be recorded as passed for the 2014
calendar year. Children who have passed must be wearing a swim band
before they can enter the pool without a life jacket.
Cell phones are not permitted at camp. Camp staff will ensure that all cell
phones are packed away while the child is at day camp.
Please Note: All disciplinary issues are at the discretion of the Program Director
and Camp Coordinator.

WAC Summer Day Camp
Sunscreen Permission Form
Soaking up the suns rays used to be considered healthy before we learned about the dangers
of ultraviolet rays. These invisible rays, known as ultraviolet-A (UVA) and ultraviolet-B (UVB) cause
suntan, sunburn, and skin damage. There is not safe UV light. Protecting young people from
the sun is especially important as most of our lifetime exposure comes before the age of 20.
WAC Day Camp participants spend a great deal of time in the outdoors and are exposed to the
suns rays for the majority of the day. Since it is our commitment to promote healthy journeys; we
have the following policies to this regard.
Parents or legal guardians will be responsible for applying the first layer of sunscreen
prior to morning drop-off.
All campers and staff will wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 on all exposed skin
(including lips), daily, even on cloudy days.
Parents or legal guardians will be responsible for providing their children with enough
sunscreen (in a sealed container) to take with them for later day applications.
ONE CONTAINER PER CHILD. DUE TO ALLERGIES WE CANNOT GIVE ANYONE ELSE ANOTHER CHILD
OR STAFF MEMBERS SUNSCREEN.
Children will participate in outdoor play and swimming frequently throughout the camp
season. Parents are expected to provide sunscreen lotion for the protection of their children.
Camp staff will remind children to apply sunscreen at least twice during each day and will
provide assistance if needed. If your child requires sunscreen more often, please provide
written instructions on how often your child should apply their sunscreen. WAC staff will be
contentious of your child being exposed to the sun and the possibility of sunburn but cannot
be responsible for a child that attends camp without appropriate sunscreen.
Please note that these decisions are made to protect your child. Furthermore, our staff members
have been trained on this subject and understand their responsibilities in adhering to this policy.
I verify that I have read, understand, and, for the protection and well-being of my child(ren)
agree to comply with the WAC Day Camp Sunscreen Policy. I also understand that if at any time
I fail to comply with the policy, my child will not be allowed to participate in the said program.
