Program Philosophy
The mission of the Geneva Park District is to provide residents of all ages in the
community with recreational programs, facilities and open space that enhances
their quality of life. The focus of our summer camps is to provide opportunities
to participants that allow personal growth by developing a positive self image,
as well as treating others with respect. Additionally, participants learn to appreciate diversity, develop leadership and other skills through a variety of outdoor
activities and experiences. All of the camps incorporate the “Character
Counts:” philosophy and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. It is the primary goal
of the Geneva Park District to make sure camp is a fun and enjoyable environment for each participant. The experiences and bonds that are formed at camp
will last them a lifetime.
We hope you enjoy what our camps have to offer! We are continually striving to
make camp a great experience for all participants.
Camps are staffed with high school students, college students and adults.
They have been trained in activity planning, principles of supervision, behavior
management, basic first aid, severe weather spotting and more.
Registration Policy
It is our goal to accommodate as many families as possible. The
Geneva Park District reserves the right to adjust locations based
on availability of space, staff and enrollment in order to maintain
the safety, structure and integrity of the program as a whole.
 All registration must be accompanied by full and proper payment per registration forms.
 Summer camps offer priority registration to current participants and their siblings in the Kids’ Zone programs.
 Special needs accommodations can be made to assist your
child. Please notify us as soon as possible to be able to secure the appropriate accommodations.
Registration Procedure
All registrations are subject to acceptance based on program
availability, proper completion of registration material, payment
status / history and Park District’s ability to meet any special
needs the participant may have.
Online registration is NOT available for the camp programs.
In order to register:
 Complete and sign proper registration and emergency forms
for each child (forms are located at the end of this packet).

Special Needs
The Geneva Park District believes in the right to an
excellent recreational experience for all individuals
from all backgrounds and ability levels.
If your child has any special medical, physical, psychological and/or emotional need or receives special services from the school district, please list in detail on
the registration material. Lack of information may
adversely affect the park district’s ability to accommodate the needs of your child. All participants must be
toilet trained and are responsible for their own toileting needs. Please allow at least 2 weeks for all requests.
Medical Treatment Policy
Your child’s well-being is our main concern. The medical portion of the emergency form must be completed. Please list any/all conditions that may affect your
child during camp hours, ie. asthma, allergies, (bee
stings, peanuts, craft item’s, etc.), appropriate use of
inhalers and any information you feel is important.
Camp Staff is not medical personnel. Medications
cannot be administered to the participant without
written consent from the parent / guardian and require a doctors signature. Camp Staff is trained in
basic first aid and CPR and will take appropriate action when necessary. If emergency services personnel are deemed necessary by staff, the expense will
be the responsibility of the camper’s parent / guardian.
Refund Policy
Refunds for camp sessions will be given only for Refund Requests submitted 10 business days prior to the start of a session or for an extended medical leave (5 or more consecutive
days) with a doctor’s note. Refunds or credits will not be given
for vacation, illness, extracurricular activities, disciplinary reasons or other temporary childcare arrangements.
Tax Information
The Geneva Park District tax identification number is 36-6008378. The Geneva Park District will supply year-end tax information. Any questions regarding tax information, please contact
Dawn Flesvig at 630-262-2220.
Emergency and Release Form
Only authorized individuals listed on each participants “Emergency and Release Form” will be permitted to sign a child
out. Any adult (parents included) must be prepared to show a picture ID when picking up a child. If under 18, must be
able to show a valid, high school photo ID.
Change of Information:
If a parent needs to change any pertinent information, such as phone numbers, address, marital status or adding someone to the authorized pick up list, a “Change of Information Form” must be completed. Only the parent/guardian who
completed the original forms can authorize these changes. These forms are available at the site. Parents/ guardians are
responsible for informing staff of any changes to primary custody, restraining orders or any other situations or changes
that may affect the participant.
Drop Off Policy
Although the staff may arrive at the site prior to the program start time, they are not permitted to accept participants before the scheduled start time. Children must be accompanied by a parent or authorized adult and they must sign their
child(ren) in on the Sign In/Out form each day.
Pick up Policy
Participants must be signed out from Camp by a parent or an authorized adult. No child will be released to an individual
whose name does not appear on their Emergency and Release form and under no circumstances is a child allowed to
leave the program unescorted. Staff may ask to see a photo ID of anyone picking up the child, including parents. If someone is going to pick up the child that is not on the list and it is a one time occurrence, you must send in writing a letter authorizing the adult to pick up in advance. If a parent needs to add someone to the “Emergency and Release” form, a
“Change of Information” form must be filled out. The only person who may make changes is the parent/guardian who filled
out the original forms. In the event that you will not be able to pick up your child by the program end time, please notify the
park district immediately.
* Only participants who are 10 years old and older are able to sign themselves out, and only if indicated on the emergency
form (special section to be signed).
Late Pick up Fee
The pick up time will be strictly enforced. If the parent is unable to pick up their child by the program end time, it is the
parent’s responsibility to make other arrangements. Any pick up after program end time will result in a late fee of $5.00
for the first ten minutes and then $1.00 per minute after the first ten minutes will be charged if you are late picking up.
After 30 minutes and all emergency listings have been called, staff will notify the local Police Department. The child will be
transported by the Police to the Police Station. A late form will be filled out and turned into the office where you will be expected to pay your late payment, before your next camp session begins. If unpaid, your child will not be able to participate
in the next session. If late pick up becomes a habit, you run the risk of your child being dismissed from the program.
Illness and Injury
Healthy Kids Policy:
 If a child becomes ill during the program, a parent will be notified and asked to pick up the child as quickly as possible.
The child must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to the program. If a child vomits, they must go home immediately. if a parent is unable to pick them up, the emergency contacts will be called.
 We ask that you be considerate of other children and staff and keep your child home if they show signs of illness.
 In case of a contagious disease, please notify Camp Staff immediately. All parents at that site will be notified as soon
as possible.
 A child must receive appropriate treatment, depending on the condition, before returning to the program and may require a medical release from a physician.
 Paramedics (911) will be called to handle serious injuries. If your child needs emergency medical care, we will accompany them and a parent/guardian must meet us at the medical facility immediately.
Notification of Medical Attention:
 Any minor injury/illness, we will only administer basic first aid such as band-aid or ice pack and you will be
notified when you arrive.
 In the case an injury/illness requires more attention; we will administer first aid and contact the parent or
the emergency contacts in the event you are unreachable. An accident report will be completed, as well.
If necessary, we will contact emergency services and participant will be transported to the nearest hospital.
Dispensing Medication
Strict policies have been put in place regarding the dispensing of medication to participants. These policies
must be followed if a participant is required to receive medication while in the program. This includes restrictions for any
over the counter medications (including cough drops and pain relievers) and any prescription medication. Parents/
Guardians are required to complete a “Request to Administer Medication Form” for any and all medication to be administered to participants by the camp staff or the participants themselves. This form requires the doctors signature.

Full Day Camps please send peanut-free snack, lunch and refillable water bottle.
Half-day camps please send peanut-free snack and refillable water bottle.
Snack/Lunches – Lunches and snacks are not provided at any of our day camps. For the safety of all
participants, they will need to bring a peanut-free lunch and/or snack and drink each day. Please
make sure their lunch, snack and drink is clearly marked with their name. Please send your child
with a reusable water bottle every day. For camps with field trips days, please be sure to send a sack
lunch unless otherwise noted.
Attire – Campers should wear socks and gyms shoes everyday. For safety reasons, open toed shoes and bare feet
are not allowed. Campers play a variety of games and activities, please be sure to send children in play clothes.

allergic reactions. Please make sure to mark their name on the bottle. Campers should apply sunscreen and/or bug
spray prior to arrival at camp. Reapplication reminders will occur at several points throughout the day to ensure protection.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Please do not send your camper with technological devices (ex. MP3 players, iPods, handheld Nintendo games, cell
phones, etc.). There is no need for campers to bring these items to camp. Please be aware that if items are brought to
camp, they are the responsibility of the camper, NOT the Park District. The Park District is not responsible for damaged,
lost or stolen items.
Camp Calendar
At Meet the Counselors Night, parents will receive a final camp calendar. The camp calendar will be available on our
website at www.genevaparks.org and will also be available at your child’s camp. These calendars contain important
information. The camp calendar will show what themes and activities are being planned each week and the locations of
field trips!
Weekly Newsletters / Special Reminders
Throughout the summer, weekly newsletters may be posted on our website at www.genevaparks.org to inform you of
the week’s activities and if the campers need to bring anything specific to camp on certain days (ex. water days, field
trips, etc.) Special reminders may be sent home with the campers as well.
Supplies
Occasionally, camp staff will ask campers to bring items from home. Typically we need recyclable items for art projects.
This information will be requested in the Newsletter or Special Reminders.
Field Trip Information
Most camps do travel, whether it is going to a park, Sunset Pool or on field trips. Campers MUST wear their camp shirts to
attend a field trip. Campers will be transported via school bus with the assistance of the park district buses or vans on
occasion. When participants are bussed for a program, parents will not be able to drop off or pick up at the field trip location they are being bussed to. All drivers have completed background checks and have obtained all certifications and licenses necessary to operate the vehicles.
Late Returns
Camps may leave camp locations for pool, parks and fieldtrips. Please see camp calendar for details.
From time to time, due to weather, traffic or various other reasons they may be late in returning to the
site. In the event they anticipate running more than 15 minutes late, they will contact the park district, who will then make phone calls to inform parents. Please update your emergency phone numbers with the Geneva Park District.
General Safety Rules and Policies
 Children should wear gym shoes every day to allow full participation in the activities.
 Only Geneva Park District staff, current participants, parents/guardians, invited special guests and adults on the
emergency release form will be allowed on camp boundaries during program hours.
 No electronics, iPods, cell phones or handheld games will be allowed.
 No clothing that depicts violence or inappropriate themes.
 Personal belongings and toys from home are not allowed. Staff is not responsible for lost or stolen items and

Weather
All camps will be held rain or shine! Please call the Sunset Community Center in case of severe weather conditions.
In cases of extreme heat, staff will take proper precautions ensuring frequent water breaks, shade, limit physical activity and may be relocated to an air conditioned location for a brief period during the day. Campers will be exposed
to sun and bugs. Please apply sunscreen and bug spray before camp.
Park District Photo / Video Disclaimer
All participants permit the taking of photos
and/or video of themselves and their children
during Park District activities, programs, events,
and facilities for publication and use as the
Park District deems necessary in marketing materials. If you and
your child do not wish to be photographed or videotaped, a written objection must be filed with the Park District.
Camp Evaluations
Parents and campers will be surveyed at the end of
each session. The camp evaluation is the park district’s
main tool for assessing your level of satisfaction. A link
to the camp evaluations will be sent out via email.
Please make sure we have your current email on file! If you do
not have email, you will be able to pick up a hard copy of the
evaluation at the end of each session.
Water Day Information
Please send your child in their bathing suit (under
clothing) with a towel on water days. Please see
camp calendar for water day dates.
We have implemented a colored wristband system
to assist camp counselors and lifeguards in knowing
your child’s swimming abilities while at the pool.
Note: Although we will only go to the pool on designated days, we may have water activities at the
park. If noted in the newsletter, please send your
child in appropriate attire.
In addition, camps may attend water park field
trips—see camp calendar for details.
Special Pool notes:
 Campers are not allowed to hang on counselors.
 All campers will be swim-tested by park district
staff to determine their swim ability at the beginning of each session.
 For the safety of your child, lifeguards have final
say of camper’s swimming ability.
 Campers who do not adhere to the rules of the
facility may lose their aquatic privileges.
Code of Conduct
The following policies have been established for the benefit of the program. These rules apply to all participants and their
parents/guardians.
 No bullying, verbal or physical abuse, threatening, obscene, disrespectful or physical violence will be tolerated.
 All threats and threatening behavior will be taken seriously and reported appropriately.
 Participants must show respect to all staff, participants, all property, equipment and facilities.
 There may be no physical contact with any other participants or verbal or physical harm.
 Participants may not place themselves or others in dangerous situations through actions or behavior.
 No weapons or items that may be used as weapons may be brought to the program.
 Participants may not leave the program area without permission.
 Participants are responsible for their actions and belongings (Bags, jackets, school supplies, items brought from home
with permission, etc.)
 Please note: cell phones and other electronic devices will not be allowed at the program.
 No refunds will be issued for suspensions.
Discipline Policy
Expectations for Campers:
 Keep hands and feet to self.
 Talk to others (campers and staff) with respect.
 Listen attentively when spoken to.
 Treat all park district material and property with care.
 Be safe while having fun.
It is our philosophy for discipline to teach participants to take responsibility for their own actions. We try to accomplish
this through using specific directions, redirecting a child, positive reinforcements, motivation and leading by example.
Since each participant has different ways of learning, several different methods may be used.
1st Offense – Verbal Warning (depending on the severity, several warnings may be given)
2nd Offense – A behavior report will be filled out and filed with the Recreation Supervisor and the parents/guardian. The
parents will be required to sign the report, which will remain in the participants file. The staff will work with the participant
and parents to correct the behavior. (This may be issued immediately, without warnings for serious infractions.)
3rd Offense – Suspension- the participant will be suspended from the program for one to three days. The suspension will
be in effect the first day following the offense. The parent will be notified by the Camp Director or the Recreation Supervisor. Upon return from a suspension, if behavior continues, the Recreation Supervisor may permanently suspend a participant from the Camp program.
Depending on the situation and the degree of the offense, the participant may be permanently dismissed from the program following the issuance of a behavior report. There will be no refunds for days missed due to disciplinary infractions.
At Summer Camp, we hold a “Zero Tolerance to Violence” policy. A participant that is physically or verbally abusive to another participant, volunteer or Park District staff will be immediately suspended without any prior warning. No bullying,
verbal abuse, threatening or physical violence towards Park District staff, FVSRA staff or any participant will be tolerated.
All threats and threatening behavior will be taken seriously and will result in an immediate suspension and possible dismissal from the program.
