SUMMER CAMP STAFF

Our Summer Day Camp is directed by state certified teachers and college or high school students who have been carefully screened by us as well as the FDLE Services of the State of Florida. Many of our counselors are students or alumni of our school or have been campers or Counselors In Training for a number of years. They are responsible and caring young people who bring a variety of experiences and expertise to their counseling position. Our directors and paid staff members are assisted by volunteer CIT's (Counselor In Training). CIT's range in age from 14 to 15 years old. They are well-trained in safety and camp policies.

American Heritage Summer Day Camp is "More than Great Fun" for children 3-13 years of age. Cabins for ages 3-5 are co-ed, while ages 6-13 have separate boys and girls cabins. Each age level enjoys age appropriate activities supervised by our highly qualified staff. All cabins (which are classrooms during the school year) are air conditioned and campers take pride in decorating them to reflect the cabin's theme.

AGE GROUPINGS

In addition to the staff of teachers and counselors, each cabin group is assigned to an adult Unit Director who insures that the staff directly supervising the campers is doing its assigned jobs properly. The Unit Director also handles schedule changes and any discipline problems which may occur within the cabin.

Transportation

Optional bus transportation for American Heritage Day Camp is provided by C & L Bus Company, Inc. Whenever possible, house-to-house pickup is provided except in areas where camper population is sparse. C & L Bus Company, Inc. will contact you by phone two days prior to the first day of each session and advise you of the exact time and place of pickup for your camper. Please direct transportation inquiries to C & L Bus Company, Inc. at 472-7800.

Age

Children must have reached their third (3rd) birthday on or before August 1st. We accept children up to 13 years of age, as long as they do not reach their 14th birthday before August 1st. If your child is age 3 or 13, proof of age is required.

Clothing

We advise informal, cool summer clothing. Shorts and a tee-shirt are recommended. Because of the nature of summer camp, shoes or sneakers are required. Please bring a bathing suit and dry towel every day. Experience has proven that it is unwise for campers to bring money, watches, jewelry, games, or any other valuables to camp, as they are easily lost during a busy camp day. We will not be responsible for lost or stolen personal items.

Infirmary

A Registered Nurse will be present on campus from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Our Infirmary is well equipped to handle any minor injuries which may arise. In the event of a serious injury, every effort will be made to contact you immediately. All medications are kept in the Infirmary and dispensed by our Registered Nurse.

Pickup During Camp Hours

If you need to pick up your camper during camp hours, we ask that you please call the camp office to inform us of the time we can expect you so we can have your camper ready for early dismissal. Any campers leaving during camp hours must be picked up in the camp office and signed out by an authorized adult. Be prepared to give your camper's Personal Identification Number (PIN).
