Camp Unique
Students entering Kindergarten through 5th grade.
We have a summer schedule filled with many exciting activities and field trips.
Here are a few summer camp rules to help keep everyone safe and having fun:
1)BE KIND TO OTHERS. This includes students,
teachers and anyone involved in field trips and
special activities. We will have parent
volunteers, program coordinators and
facilitators while out on field trips and
a few special visitors at school as well.
2)BE SAFE. Safety is the key to having a fun
and exciting camp experience. Children are
expected to keep their hands and feet safe with
other people. Following the teachers
instructions is also a very important part of
being safe. While we are out on field trips,
teachers will go over boundaries and
guidelines to help keep the children aware of
what is to be expected and where it is safe to
explore. We will be transporting the children frequently and safety
in the vans is a must. Children must remain in their seatbelts while
in the van and the teachers will notify the children when it is safe
to unbuckle (we provide assistance as needed). Booster seats are
required for children until the child is 6 years old AND 60 pounds.
Being in control of our voices and bodies is important, especially
while riding in the vans. Softer “inside voices” is appropriate in the
van. Children are expected to remain with their designated group.
In order to go on field trips, these safety rules must be followed!
3. HAVE FUN! This is summer camp! Our field trips are planned for the kids
to have the most fun possible! Let’s get messy, creative, explore and
work together to have fun!

Field trips. We are looking for 5 families to
