What KidCheck Offers

Guardians create a free KidCheck account online, where they upload photos, contact information, any medical or allergy alerts, as well as information about who can (and sometimes, who cannot) pick up the child. That information is accessible to our staff when each family checks in. This eliminates the need for our staff to handle data entry, which saves time and ensures that information is accurate and kept current. Allergies or other key info is kept with a discreet inside the child’s KidCheck account.

With their (parent’s/guardian’s)

phone number, parents and

guardians can check their children

in at a computer station.

KidCheck Notifications

We will add a notification to your

account for items like payment

due, lunch trip, lunch trip

reminder, sunscreen need, water

bottle needed, incident/discipline

reports, etc. The notification will

pop up after you enter your phone

number on the IPad.

KidCheck is able to send text

messages.

GROUPME

GROUPME is another way the

camp communicates with the

parents. It is a group messaging

app that is free. Simply download

the app from your app store.

The supervisor will give updates on

field trips, if the pool is closed for

any reason or if parents will need

to pick up at the community

center.

The camp will post pictures and

sometimes videos on GROUPME of

what the camp is doing. We have

found this is the best way for

parents to see what is going on

quickly.

Keep in mind, if parents reply to

everything, everyone will get

notifications of everything. Please

don’t reply, as other parents will

mute their account and they will

miss when important messages

happens. The camp will have 100

campers, there will likely be 2

parent for each camper maybe 4

depending on camper’s

circumstances. So, the numbers

will increase a lot.

Bad language on GROUPME will

not be tolerated. If this happens

those individuals will be deleted

from the group immediately.

Things to do before Summer

Camp Open House:

1. Create an account with

KidCheck at:

http://go.kidcheck.com

Enter all information

needed on yourself, your

child, health/allergies and

the pick-up people. The

pick-up people will go under

a tab marked Guardian,

parents will need to add

themselves. If there is

anyone not allowed to pick

up your child, put them

under unauthorized person.

2. All campers must have

immunization records on

file and they must be

current. If there is a custody

agreement on file, a copy

must be turned in as well.

We need to have all records

turned in no later than the

Parent Open House.

Check in/Out

The camp uses KidCheck to sign in

and out of camp. This is why every

camper must create an account.

If you already have an account

because your child/children

attended the ASP or mini camps

we have had during the school

year, there is no need to create a

new one.

The check in place for camp will

be in Rec Classroom 1, this is the

new classroom at the back of the

new gym. The classroom is on the

west side. There will be an

entrance for camp parents from

the outside. The outside door will

be locked, please ring the bell.

The camp opens at 7:30 a.m., not

before, camp ends at 5:45 p.m.,

please be on time to pick up. IPads

will be as you walk in the door for

check in/out.

All campers must be walked in

and checked in every day. Please

do not just drop a camper off

without checking them in.

On Field Trip Days: All campers

must be at camp by specified

times, otherwise they will not be

permitted to attend the field trip.

The time will be displayed on

trifold that week at check in/out.

Pick up continued: If a person picking up a child

displays signs of being

inebriated or in some way

unable to provide safe

transportation for the child, the

staff member in charge will

suggest alternate

transportation with a private

provider to be paid by the

parent. If no arrangements can

be made, DHS and the local

police will be notified.

If we have not heard from you

by closing time, and we cannot

reach you by phone, your

emergency numbers will be

called and one of those

numbers will be asked to come

pick up your child. If neither you

nor your emergency contacts

can be reached, we will keep

your child for a half hour. Late

fees will be to accrue.

Pick Up Policy:

Only authorized adults over the

age of 18 will be allowed to pick up

a child/children.

Authorized adults include

parent(s), guardian(s), or persons

designated as an authorized

person to pick up section under

the guardian tab in KidCheck.

Remember to not include anyone

who is under the age of 18.

Everyone including parents must have an I.D. available when they pick up children until all staff knows and recognizes the pickup people and the child. NO EXCEPTIONS! Tell all of your authorized pick up people that they will need to show photo identification. If the person picking up refuses to show photo identification, walks out of the facility with the child, the Supervisor will follow procedures and contact the proper authorities. If we ask you for ID and not the person who comes in before or after you it’s because we know them. Don’t be offended, we have lots of parents who have attend before, and lots of new parents. No child will be permitted to meet an adult at their car. Please do not ask. This is for the safety of your child.

Camper Ratios

The Mustang Parks and Recreation

Department requires a certain

number of staff that are on duty with

campers during the course of each

day. In general, activities will meet

the following minimums:

Age Staff Campers 5 years 1 6 6 – 7 years 1 8 8 – 9 years 1 9 10 & up years 1 15 Children are grouped by the following

criteria:

❖ Chronological age level at start of program (the age they are when registered is the age group they will be in for the duration of camp, no exceptions will be made)

Children are assigned to groups

according to their ages. This

atmosphere encourages close

child/staff interaction and provides

an opportunity for each child to

express herself/himself, be accepted

by their peer, and learn new skills.

* We CANNOT take special requests

to keep friends, siblings or relatives

together. We also cannot guarantee

your child will be place with a

particular staff member.

Camp Attire

What to wear to camp?

During camp, children should

wear simple, non-restrictive

clothing that you do not mind

getting dirty, muddy or wet, etc.

Children are required to wear

closed toe shoes (a pair of

athletic shoes are

recommended). This is both for

the child’s safety and comfort as

programs are very active. Make

sure to label belongings. Please

do not wear article of clothing

which are not in good taste or

appropriate for camp or

clothing that does not cover the

body.

The camp is NOT responsible for loss of belongings (see LOST AND FOUND)

All campers are to have

lunches, water bottles &

sunscreen daily. You will be

asked daily. If campers do not

have one of these items, they

will be provided one by the

Concession and their account

will be charged accordingly.

The best thing for campers to put

their stuff in everyday is a backpack

– like they use for school.

Campers need the following items

daily:

A cooler type lunch bag w/ healthy

snacks & lunch (peanut free)

✓ Campers should wear simple, non-restrictive clothing. Camp shirts on field trip day

✓ Athletic shoes (open-toe shoes are not permitted)

✓ Backpack or shoulder bag ✓ Swimsuit & towel ✓ Reusable water bottle ✓ Sunscreen ✓ GOOD ATTITUDE & A

SMILE EVERYDAY ☺

Participation Children are encouraged to participate in ALL activities. If they cannot participate for medical reasons, a note from the parent/guardian or doctor is required. Children who refuse to participate in group activities make it difficult for the other children in the group to have an enjoyable time. If a child continually refuses to participate in activities they will not be allowed to return to the program.

Field Trips

Weekly field trips to local

attractions will be taken through-

out summer. All campers must be

at the Community Center at a

specified time. Signs will be posted

the week of the field trip to let you

know what time to arrive. If you do

not show up on time, no one will

be here to watch your child and

you will not be able to meet the

camp at the field trip.

NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE!

Every camper will get one (1) shirt

to be worn on field trips days, there

will not be any extras to purchase.

The t-shirt identifies the child as

being with the camp. Failure to do

so will result in your child missing

camp/field trip.

All lunches should be packed in an

insulated bag, suitable for

traveling, and easy disposal.

Parents may send money for

snacks and/or souvenirs. Your

child is responsible for their own

money; counselors will not handle

children’s money!

If a field trip is cancelled due to

weather conditions, it will not be

rescheduled. Once a trip has been

cancelled, transportation cannot

be called back.

Transportation

They will walk within reasonable

distance (no more than one mile)

within city limits. The Mustang

School District will provide

transportation and a certified

driver for all field trips. A first aid

box is available on the bus. Each

counselor will also have first aid

supplies and medications (for

children who need it during camp)

available with them at all times.

The supervisor shall carry

KidCheck, forms (emergency,

permission to treat, discipline,

etc.), first aid supplies, and the

camp phone in case of an

emergency.

No counselor or supervisor will be

allowed to transport a camper in

their vehicle at any time.

Parks & Recreation Vehicles

For small trips or excursions that

would require campers to be

transported in P&R vehicles,

campers will be required to wear

seat belts while vehicle is in

motion.

In the event of a motor vehicle

accident, parent will be notified

after emergency responders have

been notified.

No camper will be allowed to sit in

the front passenger seat during

camp.

Library Trips

One day a week various age groups

will be able to go to the library to

check out a book. The campers must

have a library card to do so. If you

do not have a library card, let the

Supervisor know and they will get

you a form. If your child has lost

their card it will be $1.50 to get a

replacement.

The Library trips will usually be

broken down by ages as follows:

5/6 yr. olds - Monday 7/8 yr. olds - Tuesday 9/10 yr. olds - Wednesday 11 yr. & Older - Thursday (IF FIELD TRIP DAY FALLS ON

LIBRARY DAY, THEY WILL GO

AFTERWARD)

If you would like, we will hold on to

your child’s library card during

Summer Camp.

All campers are expected to follow

the library rules while in the library.

Any disruptions will result in camper

not being able to visit the library.

Weather

Rainy days The camp will operate rain or shine. The decision to send your child is up to you. During days of high heat index, field trips may be cancelled if they are outside. Trips will not be rescheduled once cancelled. Activities will be brought inside for the day. If swimming has to be cancelled at the end of the day, all parents will be notified by GROUPME.

Fire & Tornado Drills

We will practice drills throughout

the summer.

Food & Nutrition

The camp does not have a refrigerator or microwave. No glass bottles are allowed. Please assist the summer camp counselors in talking to your child about drinking plenty of water throughout the day. The staff will continue to remind them throughout the summer and provides several water jugs for the campers to fill up their water bottles.

Peanut Free Policy:

Due to the high occurrence of

peanut allergies, the camp is a

peanut free zone. If your child

comes to camp with anything in

their lunch with peanuts they will

not be allowed to eat it. We will

substitute their lunch with a

lunchable, the cost will be

absorbed by the parent. This is for

the safety of the other campers.

Lost & Found

The camp has a lost & found. The

Aquatic Center has a lost & found.

The Recreation Center has a lost &

found. If your child has lost

something, please check with one

or all of the above to see if it is

there. The camp goes through the

lost & found every morning.

Parents are more than welcome to

go through it when you drop off as

well.

Making sure your child’s name is

on everything they bring to camp

will help keep their items out of

lost and found.

Personal Property

Children are not allowed to bring

unnecessary items or items of

value such as electronic hand-held

games, iPods (mp3), trading cards,

animals, or sports equipment

(unless for a special day). This also

includes cell phones, walkie talkie,

iPads, tablets, or any other

electronic device). The camp will

not be held responsible for any lost

or stolen items, so please leave

these items at home.

Children may bring their own

books from home (make sure it is

labeled with their names) for quiet

time.

Daily Sunscreen

Campers need to have sunscreen

every day. When they run out, you

will need to send more.

They need to have a face stick

sunscreen, and have regular

sunscreen for their body.

There are no major benefits of using a spray over a lotion. It is important to use sunscreen no matter what type you choose and use it properly. Always apply 15 to 30 minutes before heading outside to give it time to soak in. Cover every tiny bit of exposed skin. Reapply every two to three hours and more if you are sweating or swimming.

Lotions

Sunscreen lotions are effective in preventing skin cancers. Lotions can provide a deeper coverage since you have to actually rub it in and provide moisturizing effect.

Spray-On

Spray on sunscreens are easy to apply and you may be more likely to use them. They are light weight and dry quickly and feel less greasy on your skin.

Face Sticks

Everyone needs to have a face stick to apply to their face. It doesn’t get in the eyes like sprays or lotions.

Parking at Aquatics Facility

When picking at the pool, please

take the time to park in a parking

spot. The curb is not to be used for

parking when picking up your child.

THE CURB IS FOR EMERGENCY

VEHICLES ONLY!!! If any staff

member asks you to park in a

parking spot please do so. After all

if there is an emergency,

emergency vehicles NEED access to

the front entrance of the Aquatics

Facility.

If we are not at the pool, the

classroom or gym is where the

camp will be. A GROUPME

message will be sent to all parents.

If someone other than the parent

will pick up, please let that person

know where to pick them up.

Aquatic Center

Campers will be able to go to the

Aquatic Center almost every day.

Summer camp Counselors are on

hand watching children as well as

lifeguards AT ALL TIMES.

Swim test

All campers are required to take

a swim test regardless of age,

height, or ability.

If the child is unwilling to take

the swim test, they will be

permitted to swim in the bucket

area only, no exceptions.

The levels are as follows:

• Level 1 – Can only swim in the beach front entry and the bucket area. NO DEEP END. Level 2 – Can swim in Level 1 and can go down the slide. NO DEEP END.

• Level 3 – Can swim anywhere

If you feel more comfortable

having your child wear the life

preserver, they will only be

allowed in the bucket area.

All rules of the Aquatic Center are

to be followed and all children

are expected to listen to the pool

staff at all times. If a camper

continually gets into trouble at

the pool the camper’s swim level

will automatically go down one

level, and the parent will be

notified. Usually in a couple of

days of having the swim level

being taken down, it takes care of

the problem.

Medical (continued)

Injury

All staff are certified in CPR and First Aid. If your child

sustains an injury more severe than our skills allow,

the staff will take whatever steps are necessary to

obtain emergency care including but not limited to

the following:

all numbers for persons on enrollment forms

Medical Information

List any and all medical conditions your child has in

KidCheck. The staff will need to be aware of all medical

information related to your child. Be sure to list special

conditions and what the staff should look for, how to

handle when something occurs.

If your child requires medicine administered, staff will ask

you to fill out a form giving them permission and providing

them with instructions for that medication.

If your child has any kind medical procedure done that will keep them from participating in camp, please do not send them that day. All campers will receive medical attention while in the care of Camp Mustang Staff. In the event of a major injury, a call to 911 will be made and the parents will be contacted.

Counselors are required to review registration forms of all

children in their group that they are responsible for during

training. The Health screening forms will be handed out by

the supervisor the first day that your child attends the

program to ensure the safety and health of your child

Particular attention will be paid to allergies, diet

restrictions, and any other pertinent health conditions.

Please keep staff updated and verify any new health

conditions while your child attends the program.

Illness

The health & safety of your child is a priority for us. A sick

child is to be kept at home. If your child becomes ill in our

program, we will call you. You must then make

arrangements to pick up your child immediately. If we

send your child home with an illness, they may not return

until they have been without an illness for 24 hours. Please

call the camp by 9 a.m. on any day when your child is ill or

will be absent from camp.

Harassment Policy

The City Of Mustang firmly believes that all

employees and program participants have the right

to work and participate in an environment that is

free of harassing, abusive, disorderly, or disruptive

conduct. The City Of Mustang is committed to

providing an environment that is free from

harassment based on gender, race, color, religion,

national origin, age, disability or any other legally

protected status. Harassment is prohibited by any

person doing business with the City or participating

in any City program. Violation of this policy by the

parent/guardian or participant will result in

suspension or termination of the child’s

participation in the program.

Search and Removal

A child, and/or the child’s belongings may be

searched by supervisors at any time whether it is

to help look for misplaced items or whenever staff

have a reasonable suspicion that the child has

violated or is violating either the law or program

rules bearing on order or safety and that the search

will produce evidence of the violation (i.e. child has

in their possession either stolen items, weapons,

alcohol or drugs, matches/lighters, or other items

not allowed at camp). The child will be invited to

be present for the search when feasible. Any items

found in violation of the law or program rules, will

be confiscated and may be turned over to the

appropriate authorities. Our primary concern is to

maintain the integrity of the program environment

and the protection of our children and staff.

Anti-Bullying Policy

Bullying is when one or more people repeatedly

exclude, physically harm, or verbally abuse another

person with the intent to hurt another. Bullying

happens when a person or group of people want to

have power over another and use their power to get

their way, at the expense of someone else. Parents

note: bullying can also happen through cyberspace,

through the use of emails, text messaging, instant

messaging, and other less direct methods.

At summer day camp and school age programs,

bullying is inexcusable and we have a firm policy.

Every child has the opportunity to feel a sense of

belonging, making achievements, create positive

friendships with children, and meaningful

relationships with staff. We work together as a team

to ensure that children gain self-confidence, make

new friends, and go home with great memories.

We have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for any sort of

bullying (this may include but is not limited to name

calling, singling out, hitting, shoving, and aggressive

behavior). Zero Tolerance means your child may

have to be picked up immediately if any sort of

bullying occurs. This zero tolerance police includes

parental behavior towards staff. The child may not

be allowed in the program if there is poor behavior

from anyone (including parents/guardians).

Unfortunately, people who are bullied may not have

the same potential to get the most out of their camp

experience. Our staff takes all incidents of bullying

very seriously and encourages communication so

that all campers feel comfortable alerting us to any

problems throughout the summer program. Every

person has the right to expect to have the best

possible experience, and by working together as a

team to identify and manage bullying, we can help

ensure that all children and staff have a great time.

Discipline

We encourage positive methods of disciplining children in the program and do not allow parents or staff to

use abusive language, physical punishment or emotional maltreatment. We have rules, which all children

are expected to adhere to. Please remind your child that when they are in the program they must show

the same respect to our staff as they would to any authority figure. If discipline problems re-occur,

termination of participation in the program will take place.

Positive behavior is always encouraged by the counselors. The program will incorporate these six basic

values: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship, of “Character Counts” into

each weekly theme. We will use assertive discipline guidelines when dealing with the children. Children

displaying unacceptable or disruptive behavior will be instructed by the staff to take a “time out” and be

isolated until acceptable behavior is restored. “Time-Outs” are 5-10 minutes in length. Corporal

punishment is forbidden.

A discipline report will be written whenever a child’s unacceptable behavior has not been corrected

following a verbal warning or a “time out”. A copy of the discipline report will be given to the parent. A

child exhibiting disruptive or unacceptable behavior may be expelled from the program if all alternate

methods including parental involvement have failed. If a child is expelled from the program due to

discipline problems they will not be able to participate in the programs for a period of one year.

FIRST OFFENSE

Timeout, loss of privileges, staff counsel, parent notification

SECOND OFFENSE

Two day suspension – Discipline Report Written

Timeout, loss of privileges, staff counsel, parent notification, and/or parent conference required

THIRD OFFENSE

FOURTH OFFENSE

Dismissal from Program

Cannot participate in the Summer Program for 1 year

Certain actions such as, but not limited to, fighting and stealing are grounds for immediate dismissal from

the program. Any racial slurs/remarks are also grounds for immediate dismissal from program.

Immediate dismissal will result should a child strike a counselor, staff member or speaker.

All violations are subject to immediate dismissal at the Administration’s discretion. No refunds will be

given to campers who are dismissed.

All efforts will be made to guide children to appropriate behavior. Respect for your child will be

demonstrated at all times, and the same respect will be expected from your child for his/her peers and

to the camp staff. Children are made aware of the rules and expectations while at the camp.

Redirection, suggestions from parents on what they have discovered work at home, as well as natural

consequences may be used when appropriate.

Appeals on Suspensions and Dismissals

If your child has been suspended or dismissed from the program due to discipline problems, you may

apply for an Appeal Process. This process will allow parents to meet with the Director of Parks &

Recreation, the Site Supervisor to discuss the situation. The Appeal Process does not guarantee that

your child will be reinstated in to the program but it will give all parties an opportunity to discuss the

situation in more detail.
