WELCOME LETTER


Welcome to Summer Science Camps!



We are excited to work with you and your children this summer. We want to make you aware of a few "house-keeping" items as we get closer to the start of camp.

The morning session will begin at 9:30am. Canyon Brook School is located at 538 E 4190 N. The school is in the basement of a residential home. You will need to go through the gate, walk around the back of the house, and look for the staircase that goes down to the basement door. We will put up signs the first day to help you find your way. Please remember to pick-up your child promptly at 12:30pm each day. If your child is ever to be picked-up by someone other than a parent, you will need to let us know ahead of time. Please speak with us in person or provide a written note. This is very important to your child’s safety!
Throughout the camp, we will spend a lot of time outside. Each child will need to bring a water bottle with their name on it. They will also need a hat to help shade their face from the sun. If your child is sun-sensitive, you may also want to send sunscreen, sunglasses, etc.

On occasion, we will go on walks around the neighborhood to look for bugs/rocks. We will stay away from busy streets and will do everything we can to ensure your child’s safety on these walks. Please sign the permission form available to you during the first day of check-in or bring the one you were sent the first day of camp.

Lastly, we want to make you to visit this blog often. We hope to update it regularly with what we are doing at camp. We will post pictures, stories, links, and home extension ideas on the web. If you do not want your child’s picture or name on the Internet please let us know. We won’t post any last names, just first names.

As always, you are welcome to contact us with any questions, suggestions, or concerns. You can e-mail us at sciencecamps@gmail.com or call #787-4751. We look forward to teaching your children this summer!

Sincerely,
Natalie Snow
