If your child needs accommodations or has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) during the school year, please contact the Youth Development Director prior to starting the program.

All staff, returning and new, are provided training before the beginning of camp. Staff are required to be certified in CPR and First Aid. MANDATED REPORTING All Camp staff are mandated reporters. Anyone who knows, has reason to believe, or suspects abuse or neglect is occurring is obligated to make a report to Douglas County Health and Human Services. It is a misdemeanor to fail to make a required report. ILLNESS If your child develops a fever (above 100 degree F) or becomes sick while attending Camp, staff will contact the parent/guardian to plan to take your child home. Your child will rest under supervision until you or the person you designate to pick them up arrives. If your child has a contagious illness, please keep them home until a medical professional determines they are no longer contagious. Children with a fever, diarrea, or vomiting must be free of all symptoms for 24 hours before returning to camp. Please alert the Camp Coordinator of a contagious illness so we can notify other participants in the program confidentially (no names). As a state certified program, this is a requirement and families must follow these instructions. CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND ALLERGIES Staff must be aware of any children with chronic health conditions (i.e. asthma, diabetes, etc.) or allergies. Please note any special conditions on the medical (Health History and Emergency Care Plan) form so staff members are aware. Please include the following information: A description of the allergy, specific triggers, avoidance techniques, and symptoms of an allergic reaction Procedures for responding to an allergic reaction including medication, dosages, and a doctor's contact information. MEDICATION Ideally, prescription and nonprescription medication will be given to the child(ren) by the parent/guardian prior to attending the program. If your child needs to take medication while attending Camp, please contact the Camp Coordinator to make these arrangements. Medication must be sent to the site in its original container and labeled with first and last name, and placed in a clear, sealable bag, accompanied by an autorization to administer medication from. If your child has an EpiPen or inhaler, please provide one to the Camp Coordinator to be kept at the program at all times that your child is attending. DCF state certification guidelines require these items to be out of reach of any youth and we will store all medications in a secure location. Medication, including EpiPens and inhalers, cannot be stored in a child’s backpack. IMMUNIZATIONS DCF state certification requires that each site has current immunization records for each child in our program. Parents/guardians must supply a copy of records the first day of camp or prior in order for youth to attend. If your child is exempt for immunizations, families must fill out an exemption form and be notarized. To access this form, please call the Youth Development Director. SAFETY AND BEHAVIORS YMCA Camp Tall Pines staff work to help all youth feel comfortable and confident, and to keep the program physically and emotionally safe for all children. In the event an intervention is necessary, the following steps are taken: 1st Time: Verbal Warning.The child will be reminded of the expectations and guidelines for behavior. 2nd Time: “Think Time.” The child will be asked to sit out of the activity and will be reminded of expectations and guidelines. Redirection or guidance into a more positive activity will be provided. The child will remain supervised at all times. 3rd Time: Removal from program area. The child will be removed from the activity area for the day(s) and parents/guardians will be notified. Potentially dangerous or in appropriate behaviors will result in immediate removal from the program and the parent/guardian will be called to pick-up the child. A behavior plan may be discussed with the guardian. Our staff are trained in behavior management skills and active supervision techniques, but are NOT trained in doing holds or physical restraints. Staff will only intervene physically in an emergency situation. “Emergency” means a situation where immediate intervention is needed to protect a child or other individual from physical injury. FIELD GAMES/FOREST SAFETY The youth are aware of these rules as they are the same rules they are expected to abide by during their school day recess time. Please remind our youth to follow these: General rules for field games: Youth are to speak and show respect for self, other youth, and staff at all times. Be kind to one another, and no bullying. Follow directions given by staff the first time. No throwing/kicking dirt, sand, bark, sticks, rocks, pinecones, snow, or ice. Youth are to keep their hands, feet and bodies to themselves. No rough play is allowed. This includes hitting, tripping, pushing, shoving, kicking, wrestling, and unwanted chasing. Youth cannot leave the designated boundaries of the field without staff permission. Youth cannot hide from staff. Youth will use field equipment responsibly and as intended. Additional rules for forest play: Youth must stay with the group at all times. Leave the forest as you found it, or better. Do not harm plants or animals. Everything you take into the woods needs to leave with you. WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS While at camp, your child may encounter many forms of wildlife. YMCA Camp Tall Pines flora and fauna include a wide variety of insects, mammals, reptiles, plants, birds, and much more. Parents should have conversations with their child making sure they know to never touch or approach anything they don’t know. Ticks are especially important to go over with your children as they like to find their home in areas that staff and other campers cannot help them look. Be sure to check your child every evening for ticks. YMCA Camp Tall Pines shares the woods with many amazing creatures. Bears do visit our camps from time to time, looking for unattended food. Please help us prevent visits from bears by reminding your child to throw away any food in the garbage properly. While black bears are not usually dangerous to humans, remember that they are unpredictable wild animals and to keep a safe distance. BEHAVIOR RUBRIC Our behavior rubric shows a detailed description of Camp behavior procedures. Behavior plans will be created according to the individual circumstances on a case to case basis. Documented behaviors and strikes will follow with a child to all childcare programs. *Please see the behavior rubric at the end of this document* ACCIDENTS YMCA Camp staff members are trained in First Aid and CPR. If an accident occurs, First Aid will be given immediately. If necessary, the child will be transported to a hospital, accompanied by a staff person. Please be sure the program has your current work, cell, and home phone numbers on file so you can quickly be notified of an emergency. Please be sure to have updated numbers for emergency contacts as well. MINOR INJURY REPORT A minor injury is one that can be handled by our staff without the need to call for help. Staff will do the following: Apply First Aid as needed. Be sure that any open cut or scrape has been washed with soap and warm water. Apply an ice pack to any minor bump. They will report any bumps to the supervisor, and parents/guardians. Staff will fill out an incident form to send home with the child and tell the parent/guardian of the accident. MAJOR INJURY REPORT A major injury is one that requires a call for help, the need for a doctor’s visit, or any injury that is beyond the skills of the staff. We will call 911 if we feel it is necessary. We will do our best to bring the injury under control and make the child as comfortable as possible. We will call the parent/guardian. If unable to reach the parent/guardian, we will call the other authorized people on the child’s emergency card. We will do our best to keep the child calm and have another staff person keep the other children away and busy. The Camp Coordinator will call the child's parent/guardian during evening hours to check on the status of the child. Incident reports will be filed with the YMCA, school, and state, if required. POISONING All poisonous substances will be kept out of the reach of children. This includes medications, cleaning substances, and toxic paint, and chemicals. All medications and toxic substances must be clearly labeled containers listing the ingredients and the necessary precautions and antidotes. In case of a suspected poisoning, staff will call Poison Control at (800) 222-1222. RUN AWAY POLICY If a child leaves the designated area without permission from the staff, these procedures will be followed. When possible, staff should stay with the child or keep them in visible line of sight to ensure other youth are safely supervised. If unable to leave the space, they will contact the Camp Coordinator for additional support. If the child's location is unknown, a staff person(s) will look for the child in logical places around the school/camp (bathrooms, playgrounds, classrooms, etc.). If a child cannot be found, staff will contact the Camp Coordinator immediately, who will then contact the parent/guardian, and then call 911 if necessary for assistance in locating the child. A complete description should be put together. Expand search using available staff on foot, car, etc. When the child is found, staff will explain the seriousness of the matter and consequences and problem solve with the student. When possible, your child will be allowed to return to the program. If the child refuses to return to the program, the parent/guardian will be notified and asked to pick up the child. If a child leaves the designated space, staff should try to keep the child in sight. We will then contact the parent/guardian immediately. It is up to the discretion of the Camp Coordinator and the Conduct Committee as to whether the child should be dismissed from the program or if further action is required for participation within programming. GUARDIAN ACCESS An enrolled child's parents or legal guardians are allowed to come to Camp every Friday beginning at 11:50 a.m. to come enjoy a campfire, and spend time with their child outdoors. If you would like to bring your child home with you from that visit, you must sign them out before leaving. Feel free to bring a lunch, and running shoes to enjoy a game with the campers. If you need to pick your child up early from camp, or a day other than Friday, please contact the Camp Coordinator before that camp day begins. TRANSPORTATION It is the parent’s/guardian’s or other authorized adult responsibility to transport their child to and from Great Lakes Elementary daily. Staff will be on the bus to ensure safe and secure transportation for all. SHELTER IN PLACE Youth are kept inside the building because of severe weather or other identified emergencies. During a lock down, youth are secured in areas within the buildings because of danger outside. EVACUATION OFF SITE When the building or grounds are unsafe, youth are moved to an alternate location. When youth are moved, they are under staff supervision. Please look on our website for up-to-date information and pick-up location. Staff will try to call families to inform them of procedures to pick-up children. Please ask your Camp Coordinator where the off-site location is based off of the situation. INCLEMENT WEATHER If weather conditions become poor, YMCA Camp Tall Pines remains open, but may close early in extreme conditions. Staff will contact parents/guardians regarding the early pick-up. Campers will be transported to Great Lakes Elementary where staff will stay with campers until all youth are safely with a guardian. COMMUNICATION YMCA Camp Tall Pines staff is committed to providing open, two-way communications with families. Our communications will be in a respectful tone and will be shared in a timely manner. We all want what is best for your child, and the best way for us to do our job is if we have open and respectful communication with our families. We also expect that our families are open and respectful with our program staff. Face-to-face is generally the best way to communicate, but when we want to share information with families, it is more efficient to email or call home. Please feel free to speak with Camp staff any time with questions, feedback, and ideas. The camp staff will be happy to talk with you. We value your thoughts and opinions about our program, and we want to make your child’s experience as positive and fulfilling as possible.

When the Air Quality Index (AQI) increases, activities for YMCA programming will be modified to provide the safest environment possible. AQI 0-100: Programs run as planned. Sensitive groups (participants with asthma, heart conditions, or other underlying medical conditions) are monitored for breathing difficulty. AQI 101-150: Programs will be modified to primarily include indoor activities, but occasional/short low-intensity outdoor activities may still be scheduled.
