Before Coming to Camp

Please review the following information with your camper before the first day of camp:

• Campers should learn their counselor’s name and group number immediately upon arriving at camp on the first day.
• A counselor will be with your child until he/she is picked up by you or an adult authorized by you.
• Campers must stay with their counselor and group at all times.
• Lunch time is a quiet, rest time.
• Lunch time is to be spent with your group in your designated area. To leave your assigned area for any reason, you will need your counselor’s permission.
• Visits to the Student Center may only take place before or after camp with parental supervision.
• Camp begins and is dismissed at the Johnson Athletics Center.
• If your child reports to camp late or needs to be dismissed early, he/she must be checked in/out when dropped off/picked up at the day camp office.
• Please call the Day Camp Summer Office at (617) 258-7528 between 9:00 am – 5:30 pm if your child will be absent from camp, or if you need to get a message to your child.
• If you know in advance that your child will be absent during certain days of camp, please contact the All Sports Summer Day Camp Office by note or call 617-258-7528 between 9:00 am – 5:30 pm.

What should I expect on the first day?

Please come meet your camp counselors on the first day of camp!

Please inform him/her of your pick-up plans for the afternoon. If you are not picking up your child yourself, the counselor will ask you to sign a form listing the names of each person allowed to take your child from camp. Those individuals will need to bring identification with them each day they come to camp. Over time, the counselor may become familiar with the regular pick-up person. However, due to absences or special events, we cannot guarantee that the same counselor will always be responsible for your child at the end of the day.

In addition, please inform your child’s counselor of any allergies, medications, or other special concerns that will be valuable for the counselor to know.

 

 

 

 

Camp Policies

The early arrival and late stay program are a service for parents to help meet the needs of the work schedules. It is not a highly structured program like the Day Camp. Kids do not have to participate in activities at early arrival and/or late stay. Kids may just want to talk to kids and staff, read, play board games, etc. We have basketball hoops, badminton, 4square, etc. set up to play IF THE KIDS CHOOSE TO. Our staff will monitor all activities.

Early Arrival

Early Arrival starts at 8:00 o’clock. Drop off children inside the Johnson Ice Rink (see map). Go to the main Zesiger front desk (building W35) for directions to Johnson Ice Rink.

Late Stay

Late stay starts at 4:00pm and ends at 5:30pm. Pick up children in the Johnson Ice Rink (see map). In an attempt to ensure the safety of all campers, we must require identification from the individual picking-up your child from Late Stay. We currently require identification and a note giving permission for any individual other than the child’s parent to pick-up a child from camp and Late Stay. This policy works well when your child’s counselor has become familiar with the parent dropping off the child, but is not sufficient for Late Stay. Because different counselors care for your child during Late Stay, they may not know each child’s parents. For this reason, we will request identification from mothers and fathers as well.

Regular Drop-Off (9am) and Pick-Up (3:45pm)

This season, campers may be dropped off at Johnson Athletic Center, (see map). Campers will organize by groups with their counselors in or near Johnson. Group lists with camper’s names will be posted on the glass windows at camp drop-off.

Campers will be dismissed from the morning drop-off location. Campers not picked up by 4:00 pm will become part of “Late Stay” located in the air-conditioned Johnson Athletic Center, at the daily enrollment rate of $38.00. Checks should be made out to MIT Summer Day Camp.

Child’s Exclusion Due to Illness

Children will be excluded from the camp for the following reasons:

1. Illness that prevents the child from participating comfortably in program activities.
2. Fever (100°axillary(armpit), 101°orally 102°aural(ear) accompanied by other symptoms such as lethargy, constant crying, difficulty breathing, diarrhea and vomiting.

Do campers need to speak English fluently?

We have campers from all over the world! Several may speak very little English, but we do our best to bridge any language gaps by demonstrating activities prior to participation.

 

 

What if my child does not want to participate in a particular activity?

All campers must participate in all activities. The MIT All Sports Summer Day Camp is committed to the development of the campers’ life skills through group activities and exposure to diverse athletic and social experiences.

 

Does the camp have a camper discipline plan?

Our programs are designed to ensure each camper a safe and enjoyable experience. MIT All Sports Summer Day Camp embraces the numerous cultural and personal differences of campers and their families. Our staff actively promotes respect and appreciation for diversity of our campers’ races, ethnicities, cultures, family structures, and other personal characteristics. If you would like a copy of our discipline plan contact Dan Kilbridge.
