I have registered and paid, now what?
You will receive a confirmation email with your registration selection, once it has been processed. Parents/Guardians will also receive a welcome letter from their student’s instructor approx. one week prior to their camp assignment with information specific to the camp.
Will meals be provided for my child?
No meal service will be provided. Students are encouraged to bring a snack for the recess period/s and a water bottle. There will be no working water fountains, but available water stations for refills. Students participating in a full day program should bring a sack lunch.
Can I change my mind if I don’t want my child to participate?
Parents/Guardians can change their minds to change and/or withdraw from camps, but ONLY UP TO 2 WEEKS prior to the Ready Break Camp start date of July 8, 2024 to receive a refund. After that date, NO REFUNDS will be issued.
What hours can my child attend?
There are two RBC weekly, M – F sessions: 9:00 – 12:00 AM and 12:30 – 3:30 PM. Both sessions will have a 15 minute recess and an all day schedule will have a ½ hour lunch from 12:00 – 12:30 PM. There is no before or after school care provided.
How will I know if my child has been accepted into the camps? What if my child is on the waiting list? When will I be notified if they get a spot?
Once student registration is processed, parents/guardians will receive an email notification. Camp enrollment is monitored on a daily basis. If a full camp develops an opening, the parent/guardian first on the waitlist will be notified.
What should I do on the first day of camp?
Parents/guardians are encouraged to escort their student/s on the first day for both arrival and dismissal, to meet their teacher and communicate any concerns or special needs. All campers and teachers will meet at the lunch tables on campus at the beginning of each camp time.
Specific instructions will be given for student drop off and pick up for all three campuses:
Boulder Oaks (July 8 – 19), Shadow Hills (July 22 – August 2) and JMMS Gym (only grades 5-8 Sports Camp) via an email prior to weekly camp start dates.
If my child has dietary restrictions will alternate meals be provided?
No meals will be provided for Ready Break Camps, 2024.
If my child does not attend the camp do I get a refund?
No refunds will be issued once the RBC Program has started on July 8. If a student misses more than 2 unexcused days of camp on any given week, they will be dropped from the camp and no refund will be issued. The same applies for any student that is suspended or removed from camp due to disciplinary reasons.
Can my children attend a Session together, even if the session specification is not my child’s grade level?
Depending on the grade level cluster for the specific camp and the grade levels of the siblings, consideration will be made to accommodate siblings wanting to attend the same camp.
Who and how do I contact staff during the day?
RBC staff contact information is located in the Parent/Student Handbook. If there are changes, parents/guardians will receive an email notice.
What if I need someone else to pick up my child?
Instructions for student pick up are written in the Handbook on the website. Person/s picking up students MUST BE listed on the student’s contact information upon registration. Any updates/changes need to be submitted via email from the parent/guardian.
