Students should be picked up in the afternoon at 5 p.m. Please be prompt! Anyone arriving to collect their children after 5:15 p.m. will be required to pay $5 for every five minutes he/she is late after 5:15 p.m.
If a student needs to be picked up after the 3:30 class, he/she must be picked up at 817 W. Franklin St. (Franklin Street Gym, location of the pool).
Complete information, including a map with the pick-up and drop-off location, rules and regulations of the camp, and a permission slip, will be mailed with confirmation in early June.

Students should bring the following every day of the week:

Brown-bag lunch with drink
Swimsuit, towel and goggles (A supervised 45-minute swim is planned for the end of each day. Flip flops are encouraged for those who don’t want to put their regular shoes back on after swimming. Students who stay until 5 p.m. but don’t wish to swim should bring a book to read for that time period.)
Students should wear comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes. We will be walking around campus between classes and activities.

Summer Discovery rules are very basic and common sense-oriented.*

Students must stay with the group — always.
No running or yelling in the buildings.
Students must be respectful of each others’ space and work.
Students must be respectful of the staff and teachers and follow classroom rules.
No abusive or obscene language will be tolerated.
No punching or picking at each other (even playfully) is allowed.
Students will not be allowed to wear headphones during classes or while walking from classes.
Portable game systems (Gameboys, PlayStations, etc.) are not allowed.
If your child normally carries a cell phone for emergency purposes, to be in touch with a parent/guardian or for general usage, the cell phone must remain in your child’s backpack at all times. They will be allowed to use their cell phones only to call a parent/guardian about being picked up. At no time will they be allowed to use their cell phones to call or text message friends.
Students will not be allowed to wear rollershoes/retractable rollerskate shoes while participating in the program.

*If a student does not comply with university, classroom and Summer Discovery rules, he/she will be asked to leave the program without refund.
