2012 CAMP ARROWHEAD - YMCA of Greater Rochester

DAILY CAMP
PROCEDURES
Sign-in/Sign-out Procedures
The camp day runs from 9:00am-4:00pm. Sign children
in and out at the Seneca field. Each unit sign-in area will
be labeled. Sign-in is from 8:45-9:00am. Sign-out is from
4:00-4:15. PHOTO IDENTIFICATION IS REQUIRED EACH
DAY UPON PICK-UP. Children will not be released to
persons without Driver’s License or State Non-Driver’s ID, a
Passport, Military ID, or an Employment Identification Card.
Refer to page 10 of the camp brochure for Oneida sign in
and out times.
AM and PM Care
We offer extended care at no additional charge from
7:00-8:45 am and 4:15-6:00 pm. Those who arrive 8:45-
9:00 am must sign in with their unit at Seneca Field.
Pre-registration is required to ensure adequate staffing.
Please be advised that we are unable to accommodate walkins.
AM and PM Care are programmed separately from the
camp day. Activities are “centers-based“; operating out of
each respective shelter.
In the event that a child is not picked up, YMCA Staff will
attempt to notify authorized individuals for pick-up. If a
parent or other authorized individual cannot be reached
within 2 hours of scheduled pick-up time, the Monroe
County Protective Agency will be notified. There is charge of
$1 per minute for any child remaining after 6:00pm as well.
Early Pick-up and Departure
Due to the nature of day camp programming, we strongly
discourage late arrivals and early departures. We will attempt
to accommodate all written requests for early departure;
but please understand that we are a 55-acre facility and it
is likely that your child’s group will not be in the immediate
area at your requested pick-up time. Due to supervision
guidelines, we are unable to offer temporary care for early
departures.
Email daily changes to ardesk@rochesterymca.org.
Be aware that unusual arrivals/departures close to regular
arrival/departure time will result in delays. Those who arrive
after 9:00 am are required to sign-in at the Health Office
located in the Discovery Lodge.

CAMPER RELEASE
PROCEDURES
Authorized Pick-up/Emergency Contact
Anyone picking up a camper from Arrowhead must be on
the camper’s Authorized Pick-Up List with a registration
form and must present proper photo identification. In the
event that an unauthorized individual attempts to gain
access to a child, the parent/guardian or emergency contact
will be notified. Local law enforcement will be contacted if
necessary. Please note that a parent, regardless of custodial
arrangements, has the authority to obtain a child from camp
at any time unless a copy of the Court Order is on file with
the camp office. Camp staff CANNOT release a child to an
unauthorized individual without prior written notice at the
Camp Office.
Walking/Biking
If your child will be walking or biking to and from camp,
a signed consent form must be filed in the Camp Office
prior to the start of the session. Children should sign-out
daily with camp staff. Note: NYS law requires that children
have proper safety equipment (i.e. helmet) to ride a bike.
Obtain a written consent form on our website,
www.rochesterymca.org/camparrowhead or via the camp
office.
