Dear Khalsa Summer Program Campers and Parents;
Dear Khalsa Campers and Parents;
We are looking forward to spending some of the upcoming weeks with your children. Please be sure to return your child's physical form and immunization records no later than the first day your child attends camp. At this time any remaining balance to their tuition is due as well.
Included is a list of what each child should bring to camp on a daily basis. We suggest you print out this list and keep it in a convenient place so that you and your child can refer to it and remember all of these important things on their first day, and everyday after.
Daily Gear List
2 healthy snacks and a lunch (All food must be vegetarian. Please send in a durable lunch bag)
Water bottle marked with their name. (minimum 16 oz. capacity)
Bathing suit & Towel
Plastic Bag or reusable wet bag (for wet items)
Change of clothes
Rain gear (according to weather- we do go out in the rain and your child will get wet if they have no rain gear.)
Sneakers AND SOCKS!!!
Sandals or Flip Flops (because we swim almost everyday it is nice to have shoes that are easy to put on/can get wet)
Sun screen only for Nature Challenge and Expressive Arts* (bottle that can be left at camp for the whole week-please mark the bottle with your child’s name) *for Cooperative Trust Building session we will provide sunscreen since many of these children need assistance applying. We have Kiss My Face Kids Defense Sunscreen in 30 and 50 spf. Please let us know your preference for your child.
Backpack big enough to hold all these items
For horseback riding only, Tuesdays and Thursdays each week
If they do not bring these items they may not be able to ride that day. Come dressed ready to ride because we ride first thing in the morning. Bring a change of clothes for after riding.
Long durable pants
Sneakers or Boots—shoes with a heal are easier to guide the horse with
Helmet—a bike helmet is fine
Optional Items
Insect repellant (Required for the nature challenge session, please label with campers name so we can keep it for the session)
Sun hat
Book
***IMPORTANT Cell Phone/Electronic Policy***
Phones and all electronic devices should be left home. If your camper needs to bring one to camp for any reason please inform us and we will hold it safely for the child during the camp day and return it at pick up.
Drop off (9 AM) and pick up (5 PM) is at the Mt. Toby Meetinghouse. If you are running late and are going to arrive after 9:15 AM please text one of our cell phones or call us at the meetinghouse number, (548-9188). If your child is not coming to camp on any given day you must call/text as soon as you know or before 9:15 AM on that day at the above number. There will be a $5 late pick up fee for the first 15 min after 5PM and $1/minute additionally beginning at 5:15PM. Feel free to call either of us with any questions: (413) 548-8855 (number during non-camp hours).
Can’t wait to see you!
