Day Camp for Children

1. During the school year, parents are confident that their children are well cared for, well-supervised, and involved in educational and recreational activities with their school.
2. During the school breaks, working parents need a place that will provide supervised activities in a clean, safe environment.

1. Learn a sport
   Various sports will be taught by our staff to enable each camper to have an introduction to basic sports rules and skills. Other games will also be a part of the program.
2. Daily Chapel Time
   Our daily chapel program teaches Biblical principles of morality and respect for God, parents, and country. While we expect every child to participate in chapel, there will be no pressure placed on them to join our church or be baptized. The Bible is taught from a literal standpoint. The King James translation of the Bible is used for uniformity (campers are not required to purchase Bibles, but will have the opportunity to earn one if they wish).
3. Lunch Time
   Each child should bring his or her own lunch with a cold pack as necessary. The camp does not have facilities to heat or prepare food. A Kool-Aid type drink will be provided at no additional charge. Children should bring healthful snacks for their break times. We suggest lunches and snacks that do NOT require refrigeration. While there is always water available, children may also purchase drinks and snacks from the canteen if they desire.
4. Naptime
   Naptime will be available on an as-needed basis for those in the 5-7 year age group. Children need to bring their own nap mat in the event of nap time.
5. Variety of Classes
   Each year we offer theme weeks with a variety of classes, including crafts, etiquette and life-skills training, self-defense training, time for competition, and fun games. We schedule guest speakers and special events coordinated to the theme of the week.
6. Swimming
   The West Park Baptist Church Camp is one of the few day camps to have an onsite swimming pool. All campers will have daily swim time, weather permitting. Swimming is under the supervision of our lifeguards and counselors.

What to Wear
Sneakers/sports shoes, slacks, jeans, long shorts (which come to mid-thigh).

For swimming, girls must wear a modest one-piece swimsuit. Modesty is the emphasis, so tummy and bottom must be covered. With all the games and sports played, we do not recommend sandals or open-toed shoes.

What Not to Wear
GIRLS: No short shorts, halter tops, spaghetti straps, see-through shirts, mini skirts, bare midriff tops, French-cut, extremely low cut, or bare midriff swimsuits.
BOYS: Must wear a shirt except when in the pool area, no short shorts.
EVERYONE: No shirts or clothing that reflect or advertise anti-Christian products, philosophies, or characters.

What to Bring
Towels, proper attire* see above, lunch, a.m. & p.m. snacks, and a GOOD attitude.

What Not to Bring
Video games, radios, any personal music or media playing devices, inappropriate literature, cell phones, weapons, etc. The church staff reserves final determination in the above cases.

Medications
Any medications sent to the camp must be in the original container and must be accompanied by a note indicating the proper dosages and times and a signed permission to administer to the camper.
