If your child is bringing medication to camp, please send it in a properly labeled bottle, in a brown “lunch” bag, which you have labeled with your child’s name and the name of the medication. Give the bag with the medication to the camp nurse on April 28th before your child boards the bus at La Tercera. Please be sure to fill out and sign the Medication Form before you deliver the medication.
The camp nurse will keep all medications with her in the nurse’s office at camp. If your child must take medication on a regular basis, that medication must be taken in the nurse’s office. Instruct your child to go to the nurse’s office to receive any medication. The camp nurse is not responsible for finding each child to give medication. If your child uses an inhaler, please make sure that they bring adequate medication. Two full inhalers would be sufficient. Be certain to pick up your child’s medication from the office of La Tercera when you pick up your child after camp. If you have any questions or concerns regarding medications or any other health issues please contact the district nurse. |
Supervision: In addition to the sixth grade teachers of the Old Adobe Union District, high school and college counselors and adult volunteers will also be present at camp.
During the day, study groups of approximately 30 campers are paired with at least one teacher and 6 to 8 counselors. During the evening and night hours a team of teachers will patrol the student sleeping areas. Discipline: Sixth Grade Camp Navarro is an Old Adobe Union School District campus and all district behavior expectations and guidelines are enforced. Consequences for not adhering to the behavior guidelines may include loss of daily activity events and community service. Behavior that would result in a school suspension such as fighting, sexual harassment, or defiance of school authority will result in a student being sent home from camp. Parents are responsible for transportation. |
Counselors selected for this year’s camp will arrive Saturday prior to the arrival of the campers. Our veteran counselors are primarily from Case Grande, Saint Vincent and Petaluma High School; however, many of the returning counselors are college students or graduates who have made arrangements from busy schedules to help with camp. All “veteran” counselors have worked effectively with sixth grade students in the past and have been invited to return in 2018. All new counselors have gone through an interview and training process prior to their selection as camp counselors.
Counselors receive training in listening skills and basic communication skills. Additionally they review general safety tips and safety precautions. Counselors and staff will share this information with campers. The Camp Directors have selected lead counselors and staff members who will prepare the counselors for their scheduled assignments during the week of camp. They will be outlining expectations regarding conduct and behavior for all counselors and campers alike. |
