ORIENTATION TO CAMP DISCOVERY 1999
Welcome to Camp Discovery! We welcome both you and your child to this
phenomenal camp experience! To make the most of your time with us, we are
providing the following useful information:
 | Camp Discovery is located at 8600-3 White Cliff Dr.. For those of you who
have never been there, PLEASE obtain a map
from Kyle or Kelly, as the school is located off of the main road.
|
 |
 |
| The hours of operation for Camp Discovery are 8:30 till 3:30, Monday through
Friday.
|
| Extended hours are offered for those that need longer care for an additional
fee.
|
| Extended hours are 3:30 till 5:30, and are offered only at the White
Cliff location.
|
| Transportation is available from The Children’s Discovery Center at 4112
Duval St. for an additional fee.
|
| The Children’s Discovery Center serves only as a drop off and pick up
point. There is no option for extended hours if you use the afternoon
transportation from Camp Discovery to CDC. You must pick up your child by 4:00
if you ride the van back to CDC. (this is still considered regular hours)
|
| The van leaves Duval St. promptly at 8:45 a.m. and leaves White Cliff
promptly at 3:30.
|
| The number of children that may sign up for transportation is LIMITED, so
please get approval from Kyle before you count on using the van.
|
| You may reach us by phone at 458-1891 (Children’s Discovery Center)
between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. or 794-1021 (Camp Discovery) between 8:30 a.m.
and 5:30 p.m. if you have any questions.
|
| Your child will be spending a lot of time outdoors. We will be playing in
creeks and streams regularly, so please bring a set of "creek
shoes".
|
| Please encourage your child to wear clothes that can be ruined. Also provide
at least one complete change of clothes and an extra set of shoes to
keep at school for emergencies. We want children to have the ultimate
experience at camp and we don’t want them worried about their clothing.
|
| We will be swimming in our pool EVERY day, so please bring a swimsuit daily.
|
| Please provide sunscreen and a towel every day. WE ASK THAT YOU APPLY
SUNSCREEN BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR CHILD TO CAMP! We will reapply it during the
day. Aloe-Gator is a great sunscreen that is sweatproof and waterproof.
|
| Please be sure to label all of your child’s belongings with a permanent
ink marker.
|
| A backpack will be necessary to transport lunches and snacks, clothing, and
extra shoes.
|
We ask that you provide your child with a lunch and two snacks per day.
Please send your child’s lunch in a container with an ice pack and at least
one drink. We ask that you respect our NO SUGAR policy when packing lunches and
snacks. Please avoid lunchables, they are very high in preservatives and
nitrites. We want to turn children on to good nutrition. We will be happy to
provide a list of interesting lunch and snack suggestions. We spend a lot of
time outdoors, so please send a water bottle for your child’s backpack.
These are some of the things we do at Camp Discovery:
ART PROJECTS, SWIMMING, HIKING, STORIES, WOODWORKING, COMPUTER GAMES,
SCULPTURE AND SCIENCE ACTIVITIES
