**12 noon to 2 pm Family Day & Cookout**

Family members will need to sign out their camper/LIT with the medical staff.  After you have signed out, please plan to put your child’s belongings into the car and then join us for the Family Cookout.  If someone other than the parent/guardian who dropped the child off is picking them up, please make arrangements with the Camp Director so proper identification can be checked.

Communication with Camp:

Phone calls directly to campers are not permitted. Campers are not allowed to make any outgoing calls. Phone calls to or from home promote homesickness and inhibit the independent camp experience we aim to achieve. Trust us, we have been doing this for a long time…hearing mom’s voice guarantees a trip home and becomes a “failed camp experience.” No one wants that.

If parents have an emergency or must know how their child is doing, they can contact the camp cell phone at 401 474-1606. The voicemail will be checked at varying times throughout the day and return calls will be made by the Camp Director as soon as possible.  Email will also be checked throughout the day info@campsurefire.org.

Camp Rules:

1.      DO NOT SEND A CELL PHONE TO CAMP WITH YOUR CHILD. If found, camp will collect the phone and return it to the parent/guardian upon the camper’s departure.

2.      NO VIDEO games of any kind. NO DS’s, DS lites, Gameboys, none, nada, zip. We are sure you did not plan for your child to come to camp to play video games! If found, they will be collected and returned upon the camper’s departure.

3.      Please double check the “What to Bring and What NOT to bring” list to help everyone have a great camp experience.

4.      Please notify the Camp Surefire office at (401) 474-1606 if your child has been ill during the three weeks prior to camp.  We want camp to be a positive and pleasant experience for everyone and rely on parents’ full cooperation in this matter.

MOST IMPORTANT:

Have a great week off!!

Relax and enjoy a full night’s sleep without getting up to test blood sugars…

We’ve got it covered!!
