WHAT TO BRING
The program is outdoor play. It is required that participants wear sneakers or closed toe shoes (no crocs) to prevent injuries, and comfortable clothing that can get dirty. Bring swimsuit and towel for water activities. Please apply sunscreen in the morning and send an extra bottle in a plastic bag with your child’s name. Children will be encouraged to reapply throughout the day. Hats are always a great accessory. Be sure to label your child’s belongings with his or her name. Please do not have your child bring any toys or special items to the program.
