Rules and Regulations

In order to assure the safety and enjoyment of the children at Camp Farnam, we ask that all parents review the following Rules and Regulations with their children:

• Lightweight clothing suitable for outdoor activities must be worn at all times.  This means NO sandals or flip-flops.  You might also want to pack pants and long sleeves for when your child goes hiking.
• Bathing suits and towels are required for swimming.  Children will not be allowed to leave wet suits on under clothes due to health and personal hygiene concerns.  It's helpful to mark clothing with the child's name so that items may be returned if left behind.  It is necessary that your child has a clean towel and bathing suit every day - NO EXCEPTIONS!
• Children meeting the bus at Farnam cannot be dropped off before 8:30am and must be picked up by 5:00pm.  Farnam staff cannot be responsible for any child before or after these hours.  Penalty fees will be levied against parents who are consistently late in dropping off or picking up their children.  Those children being picked up at a "pick up point" will be notified of time prior to camp.  Please be on time or the bus will leave you!
• All staff is trained to assist children in developing their conflict-resolution skills. However, if a child does not change or improve his or her behavior there will be consequences. Any violent or disruptive behavior or destruction of property will result in immediate dismissal. There will be no refunds if a child is dismissed from camp.
• Medical and emergency forms must be returned to Farnam at least one week before a child's session begins.
• Fees must also be paid one week before a child's session begins.
• Please DO NOT send video games, CD players or other valuables to camp.  The Farnam Neighborhood House is not responsible for lost or stolen items!

Thank you for your cooperation in making this a wonderful camp season for all!
