We will be following all necessary local and provincial guidelines for Day Camps, including a total of no more than 20 kids. The kids will be broken into 2 groups of 10 and be encouraged to maintain their social distancing.

Questions & Answers
1. My child is 6.5, why can’t I register him/her?
We do not have the resources or the space to accomedate a wide age range of kids, We feel that children aged between 7-11 posses a lot of the independence we require from our campers, and are close enough in age where we they can interact with one another. With out the ability to physically interact with a child we are not properly equipped to help children manage on their own, especially with things like accidents, self-care, and applying sunscreen.
2. Will masks or other protective equipment be required?
We will be following the provincial and local health recommendations and updating PPE policies as things progress. At this time, masks will be optional for participants and staff. We recommend that children who are comfortable wearing them to bring their own, but wearing masks will not be enforced by staff, nor will staff be assisting children with their masks. The Ministry of Health has recommended that any staff or participant wear a mask if or when they need to go outside of their “bubble”.
3. What happens if someone in my child’s group exhibits symptoms of COVID?
Children exhibiting symptoms will be removed from the group and will wait with a leader to be picked up by a parent. Parents of the other children in the group will be phoned immediately and the situation will be assessed from there with the assistance of Public Health Authorities. Should there be immediate cause for concern, the program may be cancelled for the duration of that week, and participants asked to self-isolate according to OPH recommendations.
4. How do I get Priority Registration?
If you were registered for a camp, had not withdrawn or requested to be withdrawn, please email info@painistemporary.net with your child(ren) name and what week they were registered for.
Medications:
All prescribed medication must be kept in the original package (box/bottle, etc) including a pharmacist label indicating proper dosage instructions and the child’s name. A medication authorization form must also be filled out and signed by a parent before any child is given medication. These forms can be printed and brought with you on the first day of camp or filled out in the Camp Office when you arrive. A form is required for all medication provided even if not administered (Epi-Pens).
All medications must be brought into the Camp Office by a parent with the correct form attached. At the end of the day, or end of the week, we ask that you sign it out again to ensure that we have accurate records of all medications currently stored on-site.
If your child is going off-site, his or her Camp Leader will sign the medication out of the office and bring it with them for the trip, returning it to the office again once the camp group arrives on-site.
Epi-Pens must be worn by the camper during the day in a pouch or fanny pack. Staff will not carry Epi-Pens for campers and they should not be placed in backpacks. If your child is bringing a second Epi-Pen, we will store it at the front desk for quick access. Please speak to Camp Manager if you have any concerns or to discuss.
