​

What should my child bring to camp each day? Please make sure all items are labeled with first and last name.

• A small healthy snack that can be eaten independently in about 10-15 minutes. 

• Lunch that does not require refrigeration or need to be heated. 

• Water bottle

• A change of clothes, just in case!

• If your child is staying for after-care, please provide a second snack

 

Reminder: Galilee Christian School is a peanut and tree nut-free facility. Do not send any nut products as part of a snack or lunch.

​​​​

What should my child wear to camp each day? 

• Closed toe shoes. Sneakers are preferred for outdoor activities.

• Comfortable clothes we can get messy in!

• Sunscreen. We will be outside during the day. Please apply sunscreen before dropping your child off for camp. If reapplication is needed, please supply written authorization along with a bottle in its original packaging, labeled clearly with the child's name.

What is your illness policy?​

Our priority at Galilee Christian School is providing a healthy, safe learning environment for all children. We know you want that too! As a rule, when in doubt, please keep your child home. Children should remain home if experiencing any of the following conditions including but not limited to:

​

• Fever accompanied by behavior charges or other signs/symptoms of illness.

• Signs/symptoms of severe illness, including lethargy, uncontrolled coughing, inexplicable irritability or persistent crying, difficulty breathing, and/or wheezing

• Diarrhea (not associated with diet changes or medications) until diarrhea stops or the continued diarrhea is deemed not infectious by a licensed health care professional.

• Vomiting (two or more instances in past 24 hours) until vomiting resolves or until a health care provider determines the cause for vomiting is not contagious and the child is not in danger of dehydration.

• Mouth sores with drooling, unless a health care provider determines the sores are not contagious.

• Rash with fever or behavior change, until a physician determines that these symptoms do not indicate a communicable disease.

• Pink eye (conjunctivitis) until 24 hours after treatment.

• Head lice

• Strep throat, until 24 hours after initial antibiotic treatment and cessation of fever

• Any students with any sign of fever/illness will be sent home immediately. NO EXCEPTIONS.Students with a fever will not be permitted to return to school for 24 hours (without use of a fever reducing medication)​

• A physician’s note may be required for returning to school after an illness.

• Preschool must be notified if a student or student’s family member has been diagnosed with COVID-19, RSV, Hand Foot & Mouth, or other highly contagious viral illness.

 

If a child shows signs of not feeling well during the school day, children will be sent home as soon as possible if any of the following is experienced: an illness prevents the child from participating comfortably in activities (as determined by the staff); an illness results in a greater need for care than the staff can reasonably provide without compromising the health or safety of other children in the classroom.

​

How will camp fees be collected?

The balance of the tuition will be billed to the account on file on the first day of the camp. This date may vary depending on the camp dates you have selected. Any billing questions should be directed to powell@galileechristianschool.org.

What will drop-off/pick up look like?​

• You will be checking your child in and out via QR code/the brightwheel app.

• On Mondays, please enter the building and check in at the table. For the rest of the days each week, drop off at the door.

• Young Explorers Campers(rising 1st and below) who are not staying for after-care will be dismissed at 2:00 p.m. Pick up at the door.
