Dear Parent/Guardian,

Welcome to the Asbury Woods Nature Center Digital Photography Camp program! Camp will begin each day at 9:00 am and end at 3:00 pm. We will stick closely to these scheduled times, so your help will be greatly appreciated in having your child dropped off and picked up at the correct times. Camp will be held at Brown’s Farm Barn located at 5774 Sterrettania Road.

Art Camp will be active, messy, outdoors oriented. Please dress your child in “action” clothes and shoes so he/she can get wet and dirty as we explore the woods, paint, and play. Please have your child bring the following with them to camp:

·  A sack lunch and drink (This is needed every day but Friday)

·  Water bottle

·  A digital camera, camera charger and batteries

If you have any questions about the type of camera that is required for this camp, please call us for more information at 835-5356.

To ensure the safety and well-being of all of our campers, we ask that you discuss with your child the enclosed Positive Behavior Plan, which outlines the behavior expectations for camp. The plan lists the three levels of consequences if there are behavior problems:

1. The camper will receive a verbal warning from the educator.

2. The behavior issue will be discussed with parent/guardian.

3. The camper will be asked not to attend camp for the remainder of the week.

We want camp to go smoothly and be as much fun as possible for all the campers. Their safety is our main concern. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please complete the enclosed the Waiver Form, Emergency Information and Permission Forms, Sign-in/sign-out Authorization Form and the Photograph, Positive Behavior Plan and Video Release Form. The enclosed Emergency Information and Permission Forms are very important especially if your child has any special dietary needs, medications, allergies, etc. If your child requires accommodation(s) at camp, we encourage parents to call and discuss his or her needs. Please fill them out and bring them to camp, as campers will not be allowed to attend camp without this information.

We look forward to having your child spend a week this summer with us at Asbury Woods!

See you at Camp!
