IN-TAKE FORM
NO CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND CAMP WITHOUT THIS SIGNED FORM.   If your child needs to receive medicine (including keeping an Epi-pen at camp) while at camp, please call the camp office or print one out from our website to obtain the medical release form, which must be completed by both physician and parent.  FRED’S CAMP cannot administer medications without this form.

CALENDAR
At the pre-camp meeting you will be given a calendar that will keep you informed of cookouts, special events and other important dates.  The calendars will be available online after June 16.

BUSES
Bus schedules will be mailed approximately 1 week before camp begins.  If you have any questions/changes (i.e. morning or afternoon only), call Jodi 847-670-6707 ASAP.  Once camp begins, please only use the camp phone number 773-348-3733 to reach Jodi.

FIRST AID/EMERGENCIES
Minor bruises, scratches and cuts will be taken care of at camp.  If it is anything more serious, we will call you or your emergency number.  If emergency care is required, we will go to Children's Memorial Hospital or the closest medical facility.  During our staff orientation, most of our Senior staff will become certified in CPR/Red Cross.

LUNCHES/COOKOUTS
Parents are to send lunches every day except Friday, which is our cookout day.  We will provide beverages every day and a snack before the campers go home.  Lunches are refrigerated as soon as your children arrive at camp.  Please send your child's lunch in a disposable bag marked with his/her name.  On trip day, please do not send a lunch that can spoil as lunches are not refrigerated that day. 

SWIMMING
We will be swimming 3-4 times per week under the direction of our own Water Safety Instructors (WSI).  Each swim period includes about 30 minutes of instruction.  Please send a bathing suit and towel every day, unless notified by camp, as we often have water activities on our trip days. 

TRIP DAYS

We leave camp around 9:15 a.m. and will be away the entire day.  The calendar will list the various trips.  Your child will return home at the usual time.

Campers will have the opportunity to meet their counselors and other key staff.  Parents who have more than one child in camp only have to attend one meeting, unless you have a tween camper.  We suggest that tweens attend with their parents.  We will be giving out camp t-shirts and selling additional shirts.  Camp backpacks, caps and other items will also be available for purchase.  It is not necessary to notify us if you are unable to attend.  You may designate a friend to pick up your child’s t-shirt, calendar and group information. The format for this meeting will allow parents, campers and staff to get to know each other.

The drawing for the free camp will take place during our 1st meeting.  The winning name will be announced during each meeting.  Of course, the winner need not be present.

We are looking forward to a fantastic summer.
