Palisades Day Camp:  Sports, Swimming, Crafts and  FRIENDS! 
1.      A  set SCHEDULE for the week will be posted on  the bulletin board, 
emailed to the camp listserv and kept in the camp folder.   
a)     Each day, all campers  are required and expected to participate in the 
so  designated THREE AWESOME  ACTIVITIES.  These activities  may include 
soccer, basketball, ping pong, badminton, swimming, dodgeball, etc  …  It must be 
made clear that awesome activities are the “must  participate” part of the 
day, perhaps designated by a star or bolded on the  schedule. 
b)    Sports will be  determined based upon the weather forecast.  For 
example, the hottest part of the  day will be reserved for water sports. 
c)     The schedule will  include specific blocks for Board Game time, Crafts 
(we will supply the crafts)  or Reading Time, Free Swim, of Free Time on the 
sport court or in the  playground.  Counselors need and  will be able to 
account for each child’s whereabouts at all  times. 
d)    Each day of the week  will have one special activity that the children 
can always count on. For  example: Friday: BBQ cookout or Pizza, Thursday: 
Water balloon/water gun day,  Wednesday: scavenger hunt, Tuesday hike to Canal, 
Monday Tennis Challenge, etc …  These are only suggestions, the counselors are 
still finalizing  things. 
2.    The COUNSELORS will verbalize the  expectations for the campers and 
volunteers at the beginning of each  week. 
a)     Disrespect,  unwillingness to cooperate, and foul language from 
campers will not be  tolerated.  The Counselors will work  with a three strikes 
warning system.  The first strike is a verbal warning, the second strike the child 
will be  “docked” and asked to sit out for ten minutes, the third strike the 
child’s  parent will be called and asked to pick up their  child. 
After a parent has picked up a child two times, the child will no  longer be 
welcome back at the camp for the rest of the summer.  There will be no  
refunds. 
b)    Counselors must tell the  children at the beginning of each week that 
they are expected to participate in  the awesome activities, the three strike 
system, and that courtesy and  respectfulness are expected by all. 
3.     The CAMPERS are required to store all their  bags and clothing in the 
locker rooms.  They may not leave them in the breezeways, the  picnic areas 
nor upper deck area.  In addition, no soda pop Mon-Thursday.  They may only 
purchase soda pop on Fridays.  
If  anyone has any questions or items you think we need to add to help  make 
this the best camp ever for our children, please don't hesitate to email me  
back.  
Thank you,  Brenda
