Communication
Before camp begins for the summer, you will receive a welcome newsletter and at the end of each week, your camp director will share a newsletter via email highlighting that week’ s fun activities, and reminders on what to bring for special events in the coming week. For privacy reasons, we cannot share camper rosters, email addresses, phone numbers, or parent contact information.
To help us provide the best experience possible, you will be asked to complete a survey at the end of summer. We appreciate you taking time to complete the survey with your child. If you have any suggestions during camp, please share your ideas with your camp director.
Participant Information
In order to provide the best possible care for your child during camp, we kindly ask that you notify the Glenview Park District of any medical conditions or disabilities they may have via ePACT. Your child’ s well-being is our top priority, and we will make every effort to accommodate their needs to ensure a successful camp experience. Be assured that confidentiality will be strictly respected at all times.
Below are ways we are planning for a safe summer:
• Only those listed on the ePACT emergency forms will be authorized to sign campers in and out of camp. It is important to list anyone who may take your children to and from camp throughout the summer, including the camper’ s parents.( see page 6 – ePACT)
• If your child is at least 8 years old at the beginning of their camp session, you have the option to let them sign themselves in or out of the program. If you would like them to be able to sign themselves in or out, please add them to the Pick Up List on ePACT. An additional waiver will need to be completed by the parent on the first day of camp in order for campers to be able to sign themselves in and out.
• Campers and staff will be outdoors for a majority of each day.
• Campers in Camp Funview, Camp Wilderness, Fun Quest, Sun Troopers, Glenview Children’ s Theatre, Glenview All Stars, Kinderview and Summer Explorers will receive a catered nut-safe lunch each day, but may elect to bring their own nut-free lunch any day they choose. Menus for the summer will be sent home with directors’ welcome newsletters the week before camp begins.
• Campers with food allergies or restrictions must be indicated on the ePACT forms that were emailed to every parent.
• Campers are encouraged to bring only essential items to camp, including a clean water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray, a nut-free snack( for full-day camps), and a light jacket. Additionally, they should bring a swimsuit and towel if the camp includes swimming activities. Please leave all valuables at home. Don’ t forget to label all your items!
• Campers should wear comfortable, cool play clothes, and gym shoes each day.
• At the end of the day, water bottles will be sent home with campers and a clean bottle should come to camp the next day.
