CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
Children should arrive in play clothes which are appropriate for the weather. Sneakers and socks are to be worn. Sandals are not allowed at camp for safety reasons.
Children will swim twice a day on most days. Please pack two bathing suits and a towel daily.
Each child will receive a Harbor Haven T-shirt on his/her first day. A Harbor Haven back pack for transporting clothing, etc., will be given to each child at either the orientation or on the first day. If you wish to purchase additional Harbor Haven clothing, please click here to download the clothing order form.
Since summer weather is unpredictable, a nylon hooded windbreaker or sweatshirt is recommended to be left in your child’s bag or cubby for the season.
Equipment needed for the daily program is provided, including baseball mitts, helmets and other protective gear, etc.
LOST AND FOUND
We strongly recommend that each and every item of clothing worn or carried to Harbor Haven by your child be labeled. Non-clothing items such as water bottles, hats, etc. should also be clearly marked. We request that valuable and expensive items be left at home since we are not responsible for their loss. Every effort will be made to find and return lost items to you. We suggest that you send a note, listing any lost items with your child to Harbor Haven.
MEDICAL
Please refer to the routine medication administration form which can be downloaded for details about daily medication at Harbor Haven. If your child requires medication for a temporary period of time (i.e. antibiotics, etc.) please give these to your child’s van counselor. The medication will then be given to the nurse upon arrival at Harbor Haven. If your child is dropped off by a parent, you may give the medication to the staff member who helps to unload the cars at the arrival point. It will then be given to the nurse. Please make sure all medications are sent to Harbor Haven in their original containers, accompanied by detailed instructions. If your child’s dosage is not a full pill, please pre-cut the tablets.
DO NOT PUT ANY MEDICATION IN YOUR CHILD’S BAG !
BIRTHDAYS
If your child’s birthday occurs during the summer, we will be delighted to share in the celebration. Please download the appropriate form and send it to the office.
RAINY DAYS
A semi revised schedule of activities occurs on rainy days. Indoor facilities are utilized. Occasionally, groups leave for activities such as bowling or movies. There is no need to send your child with money on rainy days.
UPPER DIVISION TRIPS
Children in upper division will go on a day trip once a week, usually on Fridays after lunch. We will return in time to go home at the regular dismissal time. There is no need to send money on these trips as all expenses are included. Please have your child wear his/her Harbor Haven t-shirt on trip days. If your child has a helmet, please send it on roller blading trip days. If not we will provide one. (Specifics about these trips will be sent home in a flyer once camp has begun.)
