I have read and understand Merritt Clubs payment policy.

I understand that my child is not fully registered for the camp program until I make payment on the account and receive a confirmation email that payment has been made.

CAMPER BEHAVIOR AND SICK POLICIES- Each camper is responsible for his/her own behavior. If your child is having difficulty with another camper, we ask that

you help us in reminding your child to seek a camp staff member and allow them to assist in solving the problem.- Any acts of aggression, either provoked or otherwise, will not be tolerated and could result in camp suspension.- Each camper is expected to respect direction from any member of the camp staff, the first time.- Each camper is expected to use appropriate language at all times.- Our camper disciplinary policy is as follows: - Verbal warning with explanation given - Time away from the scheduled activity - Written incident report - Parent conference with possible suspension from the camp program - Removal from camp program without a refund of camp payment- Camper will not be permitted if experiencing any of the following: - Vomiting - Diarrhea - 100+ degree in temperature - Suspicious rash - Any communicable disease (chicken pox, strep throat, ring worm, lice, etc.)


SWIM/POOL AGREEMENTI understand that all full day summer camps may include a daily swim time in the Merritt Clubs Aquatics Center. I am aware that my child will be required to complete and pass a deep water swim test to allow him/her to swim in the “deep end” (deeper than 3 feet) or active water areas (whirl pool or moving current areas including certain water slides) of any Merritt Clubs Pools. I understand that a certified lifeguard must deem my child “passed” in order for my child to swim in these noted pool areas. Please advise a camp director or aquatics director in writing if your child has a fear of the water or cannot swim. The Merritt Swim Test is for all children and includes swimming one length of the pool without breaking, treading water in the deep end for 1 minute and floating on their back for 1 minute without assistance. I understand that if my child can pass the test, they are ready to swim in the above listed areas of the Merritt Clubs Aquatics areas. Each camper who passes the test will receive a bracelet to wear to announce to the lifeguards and camp staff which area of the pools the camper is allowed to swim. If a camper does not pass the test but would like to re-take the test at a later date, this can be scheduled with a lifeguard or Camp Director at our convenience. I understand that these rules have been established in the best interest and safety of your child while in our pools.


LUNCH PROGRAM (If applicable – please contact your location directly for more information)Parents must send their campers with a bag lunch or purchase a lunch package. Due to limited refrigeration and kitchen appliances’, please do not send items that require refrigeration or that may need to be heated. Please be sure that your child’s lunch box or bag is labeled with camper’s full name. *Certain locations will have the option to add the on-site lunch program to your child’s camp week. Monthly lunch calendar is available. Choose this program by the day or by the week. Food orders must be placed Monday thru Friday the week prior to the camp attending. Daily camp lunch fee $6 per day.


CLOSINGS AND EARLY DISMISSALSI acknowledge that there will be no reduction of fees for emergency closings, or if the site is forced to closed early or for an extended period of time due to circumstances beyond Merritt Clubs control (ie. A water main break, power outage, severe/inclement weather, etc).


9

CUSTODY CONCERNSIf there are any custody concerns, the parent will provide a court order indicating who is the custodial parent/guardian and the names of anyone in which the staff should NOT release the child. It should be noted that there is one account for each family. If the account is outstanding, regardless of whose responsibility it is to make a payment, then care may be suspended or terminated. We expect parents to communicate with each other and that they refrain from placing our staff in the middle of any custody issues. Failure to do so could result in immediate termination.


SIGN IN AND SIGN OUTChildren must be accompanied into and out of the program space by a parent or authorized adult(that is listed on the Emergency Contact Form and at least 18 years of age or older) at all times. An authorized adult must sign the in/out roster and may be required to present a photo ID to ensure that this safety regulation is enforced.


EARLY ARRIVALMerritt Clubs Summer Camp Program Before Care begins promptly at 7:30am. A parent/guardian is required to accompany their camper until this time if they are on Merritt Clubs property. Campers are not allowed to be dropped off prior to this time. Merritt Summer Camp Program camp days begin at 9:00am. Campers who are not registered in before/after care are allowed to be dropped off between 8:45am and 9:00am. Campers who are not registered for before/after care and are dropped off prior to 8:45am will be charged the before/after care daily rate of $10 per child. All campers must be signed in daily by a parent or legal guardian before being left for camp. A photo ID may be required when dropping a child off for camp. Campers with medicine will be directed to the medical personnel on hand or authorized staff to fill out the required Medication Administration Authorization Form prior to camper being allowed to enter camp.


LATE PICK UPMerritt Clubs Summer Camp Program closes promptly 4:00pm and After Care at 6:00pm. Parents are considered late if the child had not been picked up by that time (regardless of the reason). Any parent arriving late will be charged a late fee of $5 per child for every 5 minute increment or fraction thereof. There is no cut off time for this fee and the authorities will be notified for any children remaining past 7:00pm. Repeated lateness could cause dismissal from the program. Payment for late fees is due within 24 hours of the date of late pick up – late payment fees and suspensions for non-payment may apply.


FORMS AND ACCOUNT INFORMATIONIt is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to notify staff of any medical information pertinent to their child’s health, safety and well being; and to provide updated medical records as necessary. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to keep telephone and emergency information updated in their child’s account with the camp directors or assistant directors.

REQUIREMENTS: PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN MUST- Complete, sign and have a licensed medical professional review and sign the Medical Authorization Form (DHMH 4758)

and turn it in with registration. All specific instructions for medication must be included and Merritt Clubs has the right to refuse admission to any camp without required completed information.

- Personally deliver all medication to the authorized staff in the original container. The container must include the pharmaceutical or over-the-counter manufacturer’s instructions to include: person’s name, medication, dosage, and time of day medication is to be administered.

SUNSCREEN APPLICATIONMerritt Clubs encourages the application of sunscreen daily on all campers prior to the camper attending camp for the day. Merritt Clubs suggests that all campers bring their own labeled sunscreen to re-apply throughout the day during designated sunscreen application times as well as on an as needed basis. I recognize that Merritt Clubs will only assist with the application of spray sunscreen if needed by a camper.


If assistance is needed, please indicate brand of sunscreen and sign below to authorize application assistance by a Merritt Clubs employee. I agree to obtain a physicians note for any allergies my child may have to any brand or type of sunscreen. I am aware that although the Office of Environmental Health and Food Protection no longer considers sunscreen a medication requiring a prescriptive order, Merritt Clubs does require such information if a specific type or brand of sunscreen is required for my child and my child needs assistance with applying the specific sunscreen noted.

> CHILD’S NAME _____________________________ BRAND OF SUNSCREEN ___________________________I give Merritt Clubs authorization to apply the above noted sunscreen brand to my child if deemed necessary. I will supply a labeled container of sunscreen.
