Less than a week until Summer Camp kicks off on Monday, June 21!
If your child isn�t signed up yet, there�s still time to enroll! Just contact your local school. Hurry because space is limited!
Make sure your little one is prepared with everything they need for 10 weeks of warm-weather fun with the handy checklist of essentials and nice-to-haves below. (Hint: you probably already have everything they�ll need!)
Camper Must-Haves:
- Sunscreen If you haven�t already, please bring in a bottle of your child�s sunscreen that can be kept at school, and fill out a sunscreen authorization form, which will allow your child�s teachers to apply the sun lotion for afternoon outside play. All kids should come to school/camp already wearing sunscreen for outside play in the morning.
- Bathing Suit Any type of bathing suit goes! While not required, rash guards (swim shirts) are usually popular for extra sun protection.
- Water Shoes Water shoes will help keep your camper comfortable on water play days. For their safety, all shoes must fit securely, be closed-toe (no flip flops or Crocs) and worn at all times.
- Towel Campers only need to bring a towel on water play days. On those days, towels will go home with campers to be washed.
- Face Masks While face masks are no longer required for outdoor play, they are required while indoors (except during meal times and naps).�Don�t forget to keep an extra mask or two in your child�s backpack for backup!
Camper Nice-to-Haves:
- Hat Many parents pack a summer hat for their children, even if they don�t wear it every day, for extra sun protection when it�s needed.
- Sunglasses A pair of shades always comes in handy for the bright summer sun. Try to make sure they fit properly so they aren�t bothersome to your child, and don�t forget to label them (try on the inside of the leg of the glasses), just like everything else your camper brings! �
- Insulated Water Bottle If your child�s everyday water bottle isn�t insulated, you may want to consider purchasing one that is to keep water and ice extra cool throughout the day.�
As a reminder, The Malvern School provides all campers:
- A super cool and comfortable camp t-shirt (to be worn on designated days)
- A camp bag or backpack, perfect for wet gear on water play/swim days and field trips (for Junior Campers)
If you have specific questions about camp gear or our Summer Camp Program in general, please speak with your Director.
Here�s to a great summer!
