Frequently Asked Questions
Can we register for the program before the Registration Night?
 No. Having registration start on one evening, at a fully accessible
location ensures that all parents have an even opportunity to register on
a first come, first serve basis. Parents that cannot attend on that
evening can send someone in their place to register the child for them,
as long as they have payment on hand along with all of the required
completed registration forms.

responsible for lost or stolen items.
What if we are late for our Extreme Adventure activity?
 Any bus trips will not be held to wait for latecomers. All departure times
will be strictly adhered to. Please ensure that your child is on time for
their adventure as you will not receive a refund for a missed adventure.
If we missed our adventure day, can we bring our child to a similar
program on a different day to make up for it?
 Perhaps. If there is room left on an alternate date, you might be able to
register again for that day but you would still be expected to pay the fee
for the original date as well. Unless you missed your original date due to
illness, then a doctor’s note would be required to qualify for
reimbursement or waiving of fees.
What kind of snacks do we send with our child?
 Peanut free, healthy snacks are recommended. Each child must also
bring along a water bottle to rehydrate themselves throughout the day.
What should my child wear to Extreme Adventures?
 We recommend that participants come wearing sun block, a hat,
running shoes and comfortable clothing that suits the weather and
activity for that day. Flip Flops are not recommended.
Who do I call in an emergency? Cell phone - (780-219-2411)
 The Extreme Adventures Coordinator’s work phone is meant to suit
this purpose. You can also call our general information line at
780-624-1000, for general information, pick up/drop off info, etc.
General Program Behavior Policy
Extreme Adventures is here to provide a safe,
inexpensive and fun way for youth to enjoy the summer.
We maintain a strict policy against any displays of
violence, bullying, unsafe conduct and foul language.
Staff will evaluate the circumstances and take appropriate
disciplinary action when required.
The discipline format we will be using is:
· 1st incident – Verbal Warning
· 2nd incident – “Chill Out” Time and Parent is notified
· 3rd incident – Discussion with Parents
In a strong effort to make our programming enjoyable for
everyone, children who require one-on-one supervision,
children who do not follow the rules of the program and are
repetitively disruptive or a danger to others may be
withdrawn from the program. Final withdrawal decisions lie
with the Community Programs Coordinator, Town of Peace
River. Removal will result if the behaviour is not resolved
after the 3rd incident. Coordinators will keep detailed notes
on any questionable behaviour for documentation
purposes.
Parents/Guardians will be charged a $5.00 fee for every
10 minutes they are late picking up their ward. Children
will not be permitted to participate further in the
program until the late fee is paid.
