Feel secure in knowing that your son and/or daughter are participating in a camp program sponsored and administered by University of South Florida professionals.  Our camp counselors are schoolteachers, college and high school students.  Our camper to staff ratio is approximately 12 to 1 which allows for individual instruction when needed.

Health Forms

No camper will be allowed to begin camp without completed Health History and Medical Consent forms.  These forms will be given to the parent or guardian once their camp deposit or payment is received.  It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to have their child’s forms filled out completely.

First Aid/Safety

A staff member certified in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR and a certified Lifeguard will be on duty at all times.  Permission to provide medical treatment to campers in case of emergency is required.  Parents must sign a Medical Consent form for camp participation.  As with all physical activity, there are risks to injury involved with attending the camp.

Disruptive or dangerous behavior by participants will not be allowed.  Staff will issue an oral warning to children, contact parents by telephone, or hold conferences to eliminate such behavior.  Children will be dismissed from the program if problems cannot be corrected or behavior imposes a risk to other participants.   Campers will abide by the policies and procedures of the camp.  Parents of dismissed campers will not be reimbursed their camp tuition or fees.
