DEAR CAMPER:
See you at

You have registered for the following week of camp:

WEEK TWO: July 11-15, 2022

Please Note: Daycamp Registrations Are Non-Refundable/Transferable.

 
Here's What You Need To Know
Check-in on the first day opens at 8:30 am at the Main Floor of Willingdon Church. Use the main entrances adjacent to the parking lot or along Willingdon Avenue. Check-in will be open until 9:00 am.  Children must be accompanied by an adult and cannot check themselves in.

Please sign and bring the following:
  • - the attached Letter of Informed Consent
  • - Medication Permission Form (if applicable)
  • - ANY remaining registration information to ensure your child can participate (including international medical insurance for our out-of-country guests).
At Check-In, children will be assigned to a Small Group and will be given a day camp t-shirt that they are required to wear every day of camp.
 
Our Small Groups are mixed-age, co-ed groups of 10 students with at least 2 volunteer leaders. This provides a great opportunity for kids of all ages to get to know each other and learn from each other. We do our best to honour friend requests, but they are not guaranteed. Thanks for understanding!
Letter of Informed Consent
Medication Permission Form
From Tuesday to Friday, children can be dropped off to their small group rooms between 8:50-9:00 am. Programs will start shortly after that, so please arrive on time to avoid disruptions.

All children must be signed in and out by a parent/guardian. Whoever signs the child in, must indicate on the sign-in sheet who will be picking the child up. If the pick-up person changes, parents must call the church (604-435-5544) to authorize the change.

Pick-up time is at 3 pm (no after camp care is available). Please be respectful of the volunteers and arrive on time. A late fee of $10 may be charged for late pick-up. In case of emergency, call the church office at 604-435-5544.

PLEASE NOTE: On Friday, parents, grandparents, and friends are invited to join us at 2:45 pm to participate in our closing ceremonies in the connection which will include a slideshow of the week’s activities. Hope to see you there!

  • Nut-free lunch and snack. Please do not bring anything that requires heating/microwaving.

Romans 5:5 NIV 

DAY THREE 
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:9 NIV 


DAY FOUR 
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Allergies:
For the safety of a number of our campers, we are enforcing a
NUT-FREE ZONE. Please do not pack nuts of any form in your child’s lunch or snack.

 
If your child has an allergy that may require the use of medication
(Benadryl, Epipen, etc.) please complete the attached form and submit it
on the first day of camp.
 
If your child is not feeling well:
To prevent the spreading of illness, please make arrangements for your child to say home if they are sick.  If a child develops symptoms while at camp, parents will be called and expected to pick up their child.
 
Safety:
Your child’s safety is very important to us. Each week, day camps are run by 9-10 children’s ministry staff, and a minimum of 24 volunteers: 12 senior small group leaders (ages 16 and older) and 12 junior leaders (beginning in grade 8). Each small group of 10 children is supervised by one senior leader and one junior leader. At least one staff member per bus group is certified in first aid. All staff and volunteers have been fully screened and trained according to Willingdon Church’s Safe Place policies, including criminal record checks for ages 16 and up, interviews, references, and safety training.
 
The standard response in the event of a medical emergency is to call 911,
then call the parent or guardian. If we cannot get a hold of you, we will call the emergency contacts listed on the child’s registration form. If we are unable to get in touch with the parent/guardian and emergency contacts, and an immediate judgment call must be made, Willingdon Church staff will provide consent for medical assessment and treatment.
Medication Permission Form
Photos will be taken periodically by staff and compiled for a slideshow presentation for the campers and parents on the last day of the camp. These photos may also be used for Daycamp promotional purposes. If you have concerns about photos of your child being taken while participating in Daycamp, please inform the staff on the first day at check in.
That's all, folks!

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact
Willingdon Church at 604-435-5544, or e-mail kids@willingdon.org


Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone in July!
