Sign In & Out Procedures / Attendance
We open our doors 15 minutes prior to the start of camp to begin signing campers in. This allows more time for activities and more time to get siblings to other camp locations on time. Please note that Funshine Club drop-off will not begin earlier than 9:15 am due to Park Center Preschool. Before Care for Funview and Summer Explorers will begin at 7:30 am.
Campers must be signed in and out of camp every day by an authorized adult specified on the camper’ s emergency form. The individual picking up the child must provide a photo I. D. everyday, so staff becomes familiar with the person( s) picking up the campers. If a new person shows up to pick up a camper, the staff member should ask their name, verify it is on the list, and ask to see a photo I. D.
If someone arrives to pick up a camper not on the authorized pick up list, camp staff will not release the camper to the individual until the authorized parent or legal guardian confirms that staff may release the camper to the individual. This includes the child’ s parent or guardian. Campers aged 8 and above are permitted to sign themselves out of camp, provided they are listed as an authorized pick-up on ePACT and a waiver has been filled out by parents the first day of camp.
ON-TIME CAMPER PICK UP PROCEDURE
It is important to pick your campers up on time at the end of the day. By the end of camp, campers are ready to go home, staff have other commitments, and schools need to lock up for the day. To help ensure on-time pick up, the following procedure has been put in place:
* First time late – a reminder about the proper pick up time will be given to the individual picking up the camper.
* Second time late – once pick-up is 10 minutes late, parent is charged $ 15 plus $ 1 for each additional minute. At the 30-minute mark, the fee increases to $ 5 per minute.
* Fees will be charged that same day.
Absence / Illness / Sick Camper Protocol
If your child is ill, experiencing a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, undiagnosed rash, communicable diseases( such as strep throat, influenza, COVID-19, chicken pox, measles, etc.) do not send him / her to camp. All campers must be fever free for 24 hours( without fever reducing medication) before returning to camp. Children attending camp must be well enough to participate in all scheduled activities. Be sure to immediately report any communicable diseases to camp administration( page 4) so other parents may be notified of possible exposure. There may be times you will be asked, if needed, to provide a signed doctor’ s note showing your child can return to camp. Confidentiality is respected at all times.
If your child becomes ill during camp, we will notify you or your emergency contacts and require an authorized adult pick up your child.
Glenview Park District does not prorate camp fees for missed days due to illness.
