Monday, June 10th is our kickoff for summer camp! This is subject to change. We start summer camp the day after the Abington School District lets out for summer. Our summer camp will be packed with excitement, discovery, learning, and adventure. Throughout this letter you will find important notes, classroom assignments, and a checklist for what to bring on your first day! Please reach out with any other questions.
A medication log must be signed by a parent or guardian if you bring in sunscreen for your child.
When you bring in sunscreen, please have it labeled and handed to your child’s teacher.
Closed toe shoes are a must for summer as the children will be outside more.
No toys from home!
You must bring lunch every day. We are nut free!
All payments must be made prior to care. If you want to pay monthly, this must be paid at the beginning of the month. Failure to follow the payment policy may lead to suspension of care.
All children will have a new tuition agreement. Please stop at the office before or on your child’s first day to sign it.
A two week notice must be given if there are any changes in your schedule.
Summer Camp Policies & Procedures
Location– Abington Kids Creative Learning Center is located at 102 N. Abington Road, Clarks Green.
Phone Number– 570-319-9214
Arrivals– Children must be signed in upon arrival and departure. The children must report directly to a camp staff member in the Abington Kids room.
Attire– Attire should be comfortable and appropriate to activities and weather. All clothing, hats, towels, bags, etc. must be clearly labeled. We ask that the children wear their Abington Kids t-shirts on field trip days.
Meals– Two snacks (am and pm) and drinks are provided during the day. Please pack a bagged lunch for your child daily. We will keep all parents posted on any allergies in the classroom.
Tuition– Please refer to your child’s packet for information on tuition. Tuition is due no later than the first morning your child attends each week. In order to prevent overcrowding, space is reserved on a first come first serve basis. Please register your child with the Center Director ahead of time for scheduling purposes.
Field Trips– The cost of field trips will vary; however they will not exceed $15. Field trips are optional. Some camp staff will remain at the Center.
Absences– Please call before 9:00am if your child will be absent, so we could plan our staff accordingly and not hold up the bus during field trip days. All absences must be paid for.
Spending Money– Spending money is at the parent’s discretion. Your child is responsible for keeping track of their own money.
Sunscreen– Please sign in and label your child’s sunscreen. Be assured that it will be reapplied throughout the day as specified.
Abington Kids Creative Learning Center will also provide parents with our Parent Handbook, which includes further center policies and procedures to be followed. Please review the handbook and let the Center Director know if you have any questions and/or concerns.
