Duck University Extended Day Summer Program
Duck University Extended Day welcomes you to our first full day Summer Program. As summer approaches we would like to inform you of some important information that you and your child will need to know before participating in our summer program. We hope your child will have a fun summer experience with us.
General Information

- DUED Summer Program will be held at T.H. Johnson Elementary campus.
- Program hours are from 7:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. During these hours children will be involved in different activities and centers based on their age groups.
- If you cannot make it by 6:30 to pick up your child, please make sure to have arranged for alternate pick up for your child. Person picking up must be on emergency contact list and bring photo ID.
- Sneakers must be worn to camp at all times. Flip flops may be brought in addition to sneakers on pool days.
- Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack will be provided daily at no cost to parent. Please let the Site-Director know if your child has any dietary restrictions.
- Children may bring a water bottle daily, but it must be labeled with their name.
- To protect students from the summer heat please send sunscreen with your child’s name on it.

- All medications need to be checked in with the Site-Director and parent needs to complete a medication form. Medication must be kept in original container with prescription label attached.

- Please let Site-Directors know if you do not wish your child to swim on the days the group goes swimming.
- Life guards will be responsible for the safety of your child in the water, but DUED staff will closely monitor their movements while at the pool to ensure their safety both in and out of the water.
