Clothing and Other Items:
Bring First Day–

• Extra set of clothing in a labeled, zip-lock bag (recommended for younger children in case of accidents)
• Epi-pen, inhaler, special snacks for dietary restrictions, etc.—all labeled!

Wear / Bring Each Day–
• Play clothes-okay to get dirty or stained
• Sneakers
• Sunscreen-apply prior to arrival each day
• Swim suit & towel (on Water Day Wednesdays)
• Water bottle
• Lunch
PLEASE LABEL ALL ITEMS TO ENSURE THEY ARE RETURNED TO YOU!

Snack, Lunch and Birthday’s:Typical snack items served include fruit, pretzels, fruit snacks, popsicles, graham crackers and goldfish. If your child has food restrictions or allergies, be sure to indicate that on the Medical/Emergency Form. If you are providing your child’s snacks, please label with his/her name. If you’d like to contribute a specific snack to your child’s group, it will be received with gratitude!

Lunch: Children need to bring a lunch and water bottle from home each day. These items should also be labeled!

Birthdays: If your child’s birthday occurs during the session, we would love to celebrate it. If you’d like to provide a birthday snack for his/her group, please inform us. Again, we will provide treats for those with dietary restrictions.

Dietary Restrictions:We are pleased to be able to accommodate the needs of those campers with dietary restrictions by having certified gluten and dairy free snacks available. If your child has dietary restrictions, please indicate that on the MED FORM and whether or not you or Connect Us will be providing your child’s snacks.

Allergy Alert:We do not provide snacks with peanut butter, nuts or nut products. Some children have an allergy to nuts, a potentially life-threatening condition. If you provide a snack for your child’s group, please do not bring anything that contains nuts or nut products.

Medications, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR):Connect Us staff will not administer any medication to a child unless it is an emergency, such as an allergic reaction that requires an Epi-pen.

Each program will have staff certified in CPR.

Many of our games involve physical activity. Children who are not feeling well should not attend camp. If a child tells us they don’t feel well, they will be asked to sit out of games and parent/guardian will be contacted to pick them up. In cases where parents have indicated a pattern of avoidance behaviors, we’ll determine with parents an appropriate approach to their anxiety prior to session.

Safety:The well-being of our participants is our first priority! Groups are staffed and structured to optimize safety and to ensure that every child is nurtured. Our facilitators actively promote an appreciation of personal and cultural differences and expect participants to treat others with kindness and respect. When a conflict occurs between children, we typically address it in the group; allowing children to work on communication and problem-solving skills.

Behavior:Connect Us programs are all about relationship-building, teamwork and the joy of group play. If a participant isn’t having fun or has a negative attitude, it can be detrimental to the group. Facilitators use a number of strategies to address this and other disruptive behaviors, however, they are not therapists. If behaviors persist, we may suggest that a written Behavior Agreement is implemented with the child. This strategy is highly effective when the same behavior expectations are reinforced at home.

If a child is aggressive toward other children or staff, or is repeatedly disruptive after adult intervention, it may be necessary to remove the child from the program. If we are unable to accommodate a child, we will refund the cost for days he/she did not attend. Connect Us reserves the right to dismiss a participant from our program if we are unable to meet the child’s needs.

Communication:At the end of each week, we will email a Weekly Recap which will include highlights and photos from the week and information pertinent to the following week. Parents/guardians are always welcome to speak with our staff at pick-up. If you’d like to discuss your child in greater depth, please call 303-773-3960 or email to schedule.

Your input is critical to our results! If at any time you have questions or concerns or would like us to reinforce anything you’re working on at home, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child/children!
