All camps are operating under the following guidelines to ensure safety: SF Health Order. May 22.
The following are our guidelines for providing summer camps this summer:
1. Summer Camps must limit group size to 12 children (a “pod”) in classrooms.
2. Children must remain in the same pod for three weeks. Children must attend the first week of the session in order to come to the camp. Failure to show for any week of the 3-week session will result in withdrawal with no refund.
3. Children will be temperature-screened daily and parents should not bring their child to camp if the child or any member of the household, had a fever, cough, or shortness of breath in the last 24 hours or if the child had contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus in the last two weeks.
4. Caregivers are not permitted on campus.
5. There will be a stagged drop off and pick up schedule. We will customize a joint sibling drop-off plan on a case by case basis.
Pre-Camp Communication
All parents should receive an email by Wednesday, July 1. This will include information such as where to drop off and pick up your child, what to bring, outing and special activities information, contact information for the camp leaders, and any other important information such as our Health and Safety Plan. If you do not receive this email, please let us know!
What To Bring
All campers must have a personal mask. Bring sunscreen, a healthy bag lunch, a snack, and a refillable water bottle to each day of camp. Campers should wear appropriate clothing to camp: sneakers (closed-toe shoes), layers, etc. Please label everything.
Medical Conditions
Please be sure to inform us of any important medical conditions prior to the start of camp. It really helps us prepare to provide the best experience for your child. We will be using a registration waiver to collect your child's medical information. You will receive a waiver via email prior to the start of the session.
Payment. Full payment due upon registration. No refunds.
Children must attend the first week of the session in order to come to the camp. Failure to show for any week of the 3-week session will result in withdrawal with no refund.
Camp Cancellation
Camps that do not meet minimum registration may be canceled. If we need to cancel a camp prior to camp starting, we will notify you immediately and full refunds will be made available.
Photo Policy
Occasionally photos may be taken of participants in the programs, classes, and activities. These photos may be used in future summer program guides, SFS website, pamphlets or flyers.
General Emergency Procedures
Parents will receive a COVID specific waiver and a copy of the SFS Safety and Health Plan prior to the start of camp.
In the event of a medical emergency, The San Francisco School will attempt to exercise good judgment in light of the circumstances and we are in the process of updating our Health and Safety plan as we open for camp in July. In general, we will notify the parent or guardian, or other designated person, prior to the student receiving medical treatment. If this is not possible, we proceed as we think best. In the event of a severe injury, we will call 911 and attend to the immediate needs of the Student before attempting to contact anyone else.
Emergency Waiver
In the event of any accident, emergency or other situation calling for medical care during the camp day or on a camp-sponsored activity, as the parent or legal guardian of the registered Camper, a minor, I/we authorize The San Francisco School and its adult employees, and representatives as my/our agent to consent to any medical, hospital, surgical, and/or dental treatment or care, including x-ray, MRI and any other diagnostic imaging, testing or examination, anesthetic, dental, medical or surgical diagnosis or treatment, and hospital care for the named Camper to be rendered under the supervision and upon the advice of a licensed physician and surgeon or dentist, or other licensed emergency medical personnel. This authorization is given in advance of any specific diagnosis, treatment or hospital care, and is given to provide authority and power to our agent(s) to give specific consent to any and all such diagnosis, treatment or hospital care that the physician, surgeon or dentist in the exercise of his/her best judgment may deem advisable. I/we agree that we are financially responsible for all medical, dental, and emergency expenses incurred above and beyond expenses that may be covered by The School's insurance policies. This authorization shall remain in effect throughout the summer camp.
